McGuire | 6 Suites in Popular Style for solo guitar

Not to dismiss the many other great modern works and composers for guitar, but Mr. McGuire is unsurpassed in his grasp of guitar idioms and in his producing uniquely unforgettable American melodies and harmonies. Having this collection is a bit like being told you've inherited a small country house and on entering it for the first time, you find a few dozen Wyeth family originals [or Norman Rockwells, if you prefer to view their special flavor of "Americana"], which no one knew existed. This collection is for guitarists musically comparable to - and as important as - having a volume of the complete Sor studies. No studio is complete without them.

Fantastic pieces. With Jim being a guitarist, the pieces fall right into guitarists hands. I was a roommate of Jim's at a Master Class back in the 1970's. Keep up the composing Jim!!! Tom G.
