"State
of the Art" Acoustic Guitar Music from Acoustic Music Records
Founded at the beginning of the 90's by the German virtuoso guitarist Peter Finger, Acoustic Music Records is going from strength to strength. At the start the label was laughed at. Acoustic guitar music! They were told there couldn't possibly be a market for such a specialist musical area. How wrong the critics were. Today Acoustic Music Records is a melting pot of seriously hot acoustic guitar music, a veritable crucible of fingerstyle excellence where all musical styles are catered for including: blues, jazz, classical, world music and hard to define cross-overs. Of course when presented with such a cornucopia of mind-boggling talent, the question is where do you start? Which players do you get into? Well, an excellent place to start is with their Acoustic Guitar Highlights series. These taster CD's feature a collection of tracks from different guitarists and are a great way of deciding which players you'd like to hear more of. And even better, they only cost around $6. A bargain if ever there was one. Another nice thing about Acoustic Music Records is that while they are dedicated to showcasing the work of some of the world's very finest acoustic guitarists, they have also thought of us mere mortals. They produce tuition material, instructional books and CD's and video workshops. |
