Guitar Images 2-CD Set

Companion dual CD for "Guitar Images" (MB#22193). The solos in this collection present a myriad of moods on the guitar. They were written to be very expressive, contemplative pieces which could be performed in a variety of secular and sacred settings. Most of the pieces are from three solo collections previously released, entitled "Guitar Meditations" (MB22029), "Guitar Airs and Ballads" (MB22039) and "Timeless Solos for Guitar" (MB22041). Some of the pieces were scored for 7-string guitar; others, 6-string guitar. Many of the solos use a "cross-picking" technique alternating higher position closed strings and open strings, resulting in a "harp-like" effect. A number of the pieces are in Dropped D tuning, highlighting the rich resonance that tuning gives the instrument. Explore the diverse moods presented in this collection! Performed by William Bay.
