Notes / Track List
PINK GUITAR
Henry Mancini is forever…few popular composers have stuck so many great tunes in our heads. So Solid Air Records asked a dozen great guitarists to pick a classic Henry Mancini tune and whip up an equally classic solo guitar arrangement. Some hookups seemed obvious…the incredible Pink Panther Theme was a perfect match for Laurence Juber’s outrageous playing, and Moon River’s beauty was perfectly placed with Ed Gerhard. But that’s just a start; many exciting and beautiful twists and turns await you on this marvelous theme collection.

CLAWHAMMER GUITAR
Clawhammer is a picking technique that the guitar world has almost completely ignored. This collection illustrates the incredible emotive power of clawhammer technique when applied to the guitar. This is the first clawhammer guitar album ever recorded and it is sure to create a major buzz in the guitar world.
