  1. New #review today: "This is an EP of four #SoloAcousticGuitar pieces by #TomSalvatori, two originals and two adaptations. Enjoyable as they are, they only clock in at around thirteen minutes total. But it is what it is, and one certainly can’t complain about the compositions, playing, and overall production." #ExposeOnline #AcousticGuitar #SoloGuitar expose.org/index.php/articles/

  2. One complex, gorgeous guitar-picking album: Jesse Sparhawks' "or Kestrel Expanded" (2018).

    #^https://jessesparhawk.bandcamp.com/album/or-kestrel-expanded

    This album enchants me with 28 mostly solo pieces. There is lots of fine work on nylon and steel strings, much beyond common worn-out harmonic structures, coming instead from a well-educated complex classical guitar place, and without ever getting theoretical. Lovely dynamic pieces in a mostly dry space. Jesse has completely avoided adding artificial spaces and similar exaggerations of reality into this, making this a private and pleasant listen, perfectly fitting this particularly timeless & relaxed day of the year. Enjoy.

    If this isn't enough, then try Joe Ellis next: #^https://joeellisguitar.bandcamp.com/album/fallen-arches-and-other-unsupported-structures

  3. “[W]hat’s always fascinating is that sometimes you think you know what something sounds like and do the thing that produces the sound you think you will get, and then you don’t get it. There are always variabilities, variations, and things you didn’t expect… They always lead you to explore something differently. I think the joy is in the fact that even though my vocabulary is relatively static, what happens, without fail, always brings me to places I haven’t been before. I don’t know why, but it happens. I think it has to do with having an understanding that when something unexpected happens, you can make it into something interesting.”- Fred Frith

  8. Patrick Smith – Fences, Frames and Alleys

    A set of solo acoustic guitar pieces with a heaviness and a pathos that belies the reputation that “solo acoustic guitar” might suggest.
