GUITAR PARTS
Dougs latest collection of original material....well almost all original material! Fingerpicking Champion Doug Smith's latest....Guitar Parts has some of his most intricate and fun compositions and a cover ....done solo....of the Theme From ..."The Magnificent Seven" that will have guitarists absolutely dumbfounded and listeners tapping their feet and humming along!
THE COLLECTION
Doug Smith’s guitar playing can be summed up by this phrase: impressive technique at the service of highly melodic and memorable tunes. Solid Air Records has been honored to be able to help Doug’s music reach out into the world. This collection is merely the tip of the iceberg as far as Doug’s catalog of tunes is concerned and we hope you check out his other titles as well. To keep this new collection suitably special, it includes a couple of memorable new songs and a version of “Take 5” which will have players clamoring for tab.
ALONE AGAIN
The success of Doug’s Alone at Last solo CD prompted this new collection of succulent solo acoustic instrumentals. This new CD is not just a new bunch of tunes: it also represents Doug’s fi nest hour. This is arguably Doug’s fi nest outing to date. And it’s totally Doug Smith: Doug not only wrote and played all the tunes, he served as producer as well. As you listen, you can’t help but be amazed and touched. This a rare type of music that’s full of warmth, humor and beauty.
Order of Magnitude
Doug's long time out of print debut for American Gramaphone is resissued
with two stunning solo bonus tracks! A popular disc which features many
of his most requested tunes like "Renewal" and the title track!
Notes from the Artist
LABYRINTH
One of our most perenially popular artists, the sample track from this
album, A Fine Line, shows off both his wonderfully intricate playing
and his remarkable compositional abilities.
CHRISTMAS GUITAR
This was last year’s best selling holiday release. Always a favorite,
Doug Smith has spent many years working up the arrangments heard on
this recording. Music/tab is coming soon for those wishing to learn
the tunes themselves.
Alone At Last
His first totally solo recording! co-produced by Laurence Juber, finally
in stock! The sound is great and the compositions run an emotional and
technical gamut from playful to jaw-dropping virtuosity and topped off
with a couple beautiful ballads. Twelve in all!
COLE PORTER : DELOVELY GUITAR The follow up to our GRAMMY winning Henry Mancini: Pink Guitar featuring many of the same players and many new artists from around the world!
COLE PORTER “DELOVELY GUITAR” 2007 Solid Air Records All guitarists made their own creative touch to Cole Porter's compositions. Eltjo Haselhoff's interpretation of “You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To” impresses a lot, just like David Cullen does on “Night and Day”. Laurence Juber excels on “I've Got You Under My Skin” and Jim Tozier on “Begin The Beguine”. Wayne Johnson's approach to “Love For Sale” is brilliant. Just as Tim Pacheco's contribution on “True Love"
