DVD - GUITAR IMAGES
by William Bay
Photo
The solos in this collection present a myriad of moods on the guitar: expressive, contemplative pieces which can be performed in a variety of secular and sacred settings. Most are from three solo collections: "Guitar Meditations," "Guitar Airs and Ballads," and "Timeless Solos for Guitar." Some are scored for 7-string guitar; but can be performed on 6-string guitar. Indicates alternate 6-string pedal tones in the tablature part. Many solos use a "cross-picking" technique, alternating higher position closed strings and open strings, resulting in a "harp-like" effect. Other pieces are in Dropped D tuning. All may be performed by the classical or fingerstyle guitarist or, as originally performed, with a pick. Note/tab. Intermediate.

DVD - ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE OCEAN: THE GUITAR ARTISTRY OF JOHN FAHEY
featuring John Fahey
Photo
One of acoustic music's true innovators and eccentrics, Fahey was a crucial figure in expanding the boundaries of the acoustic guitar. His music was so eclectic that its arguable whether he should be defined as a "folk" artist. In a career that saw him issue several dozen albums, he drew from blues, Native American music, Indian ragas, experimental dissonance, and pop. The more meditative aspects of his work foreshadowed new age music, yet Fahey played with a fierce imagination and versatility that outshone any of the guitarists in that category. His idiosyncrasy may have limited him to a cult following, but it also ensured that his work continues to sound fresh. 134 min.
