GUITAR SOLOS is an hour of solo, instrumental, acoustic guitar music. Its thirteen pieces were composed by Doug Adamz and were all played on a beautiful, handmade, Charis guitar. Listeners have described the overall feeling of GUITAR SOLOS as tranquil and calming. Adamz’ finger style guitar compositions have a simple elegance and rich emotional depth. He’s written instrumental music for the Joffrey Balley, The Kronos Quartet, and for his own group LIGHT RAIN. This is the first collection of his works for solo guitar.

Working on this album really felt like a homecoming to me. Throughout the many years working in a huge variety of musical styles, I’d always come home to relax by playing the guitar for my friends and myself. I’m so happy to have finally recorded an hours worth of these musings.----Doug
