A blend of jazz, flamenco and world music, this piece really hits hard emotionally. It showcases Forcione's mastery of the guitar, with lightning fast slurs which are a hallmark of his style. The piece unfolds in three sections. The first features some exquisite melodies in a minor key, with a beautiful moment halfway through as the tonality shifts to the relative major and then the subdominant. After a brief dreamlike interlude, it moves into a middle section built around an improvisation over the same chords as the opening, before the return of the main theme. A big shout out to the cellist and percussionist, incredible talents that bring such integral components of the piece.

Jack DaviesAs I wondered the streets near my old home in Birmingham I always loved reading the 'Dad Joke of the Week' which someone wrote on a whiteboard outside their house. It was such a good idea! So I thought I'd do the same, but with a guitar-related theme - thus, 'Guitar Song of the Week', which has now begun! As the name suggests, each week I'll put up one of my favourite guitar tunes - it could be classical, blues, metal, anything, but will be by more underground/lesser known artists, and will always be something I think is worth hearing. I'll update this blog with each track, and add my thoughts on each. Suggestions are very much welcome (a suggestion box is coming soon). Archives
