Michael Fath - Sonic Tapestries

This man can flat out play and he's been doing it for over 30 years. Nice melodic,instrumental guitar play that will sing to u and take u on an amazing musical journey. So many other instrumental guitar albums of this era consisted of a lot of mindless shredding and lack of emphasis on making an actual song. Michael's thinking is song and emotion first then the tricks will come as it is appropiate the music showcaseing great discipline and an amazing intellect for the guitar and music in general. If your in the md, dc, or va areas check out one of his shows and you'll see some actual music.
