Episode #2645

New Acoustic Guitar

« previous episode | next episode »

Friday, March 28, 2008

Listen to balmy fingerstyle guitar shapes and patterns from South African guitarist Guy Buttery on this edition of New Sounds. Buttery also plays the mandolin and sitar, and together with special guest violinist Angus Kerr, and double bass, hear some of his acoustic experimental tone poems. Plus, treat yourself to the musical narrative of fellow fingerstyle player, the Italian Pino Forastiere, who falls in the Michael Hedges camp, with his tapping, muting, and alternate tunings. We'll also hear from New York's own Dominic Frasca, the inventive guitarist who builds his own instruments to have more than just 6 strings available to take on transcriptions and original works. And much more.

Bob Goldenberg from nyc-

I enjoyed listening to the music presented on the Saturday, Mar. 29 edition of New Sounds at 11PM. There were some selections from Roberto Rodriguez and Gustavo Santa Olaya (please excuse misspelings). Most of the selections really had me moving in my seat. Yet, when I looked for the program on the site, I couldn't find it. It jumped from Fri, the 28th to Sun, the 30th. Does this mean Saturday's wasn't a New Sounds program or was it a rerun of a previous program and, therefore, not listed? I would really like to have the full listing of artists and selections. Could you kindly send it to me? Thanks so much. Bob

Could you please tell me what you were playing last night (3/27) at about 11:15? I was almost asleep, but I heard a strong beat and voices in another language.
Thank you-
