Fingerstyle Guitar - New Dimensions And Explorations Volume Three

This is the third volume of a series of DVDs presenting the recent evolution of fingerstyle guitar presents a range of stylists who at times appear to have little more in common than the mantle of instrumentalists testing their talents and repertoires to the limit. What bridge exists between Larry Coryell’s avant-garde amble and Martin Carthy’s assay of a bagpipe tune? Only one of shared curiosity and courage, of test pilots determined to break personal stylistic sound barriers. Each of the nine artists here writes his musical signature with bold and unmistakably individual strokes. Musically diverse, the common thread among them is a commitment to pursuing a unique version, one for which the voice happens to be the guitar.
