I play acoustic instrumental arrangements in a variety of styles, including: Classical, Brazilian Jazz, Celtic, Spanish/Flamenco, Fusion (a blend of Jazz and Rock) and Ambient. I have several hours of instrumental arrangements, mostly my original compositions. I play a classical nylon string Spanish guitar and a steel string guitar in alternate tunings. I play as a soloist and in several duos with other musicians. My style of guitar playing is often referred to as "fingerstyle guitar", which is a technique that usually involves playing the melody, harmony, chords, bass lines, and additional added color of a song all at the same time. Like many other Fingerstyle guitarists, my music is influenced by many different cultures and therefore it is sometimes referred to as World Fusion, Adult Contemporary or New Acoustic Music. What is central is the creation of a mood or atmosphere. Instrumental music often paints a picture in your mind and can take you on an imaginary voyage. Please listen to some of my songs in the player below. |

- Instrumental guitar music is perfect for many occasions, such as
background ambiance at dinner parties and restaurants,
weddings and receptions, art galleries, house concerts and
patio parties. The music creates an atmosphere that encourages
conversation and relaxation. People can relax and listen, or have
conversations without having to raise their voice to be heard over the
music. Fingerstyle Guitar music is also great concert music especially
when techniques are used, such as altered tunings, harmonic slaps and
two handed tapping.
Unlike pre-recorded music, an experienced instrumentalist can make
the volume and intensity of the music match the changing moods of an
audience.
Please see my BIO section for more information and for a list of
venues I have played locally in and around Albuquerque.
