Timeless Solos is a play on words. The solos in this volume contain no time signatures or bar lines. I did this because I wanted the solos to be very expressive in interpretation yet 'free-form' in structure. The companionrecording presents my interpretation of these works. You may interpret them differently and that is fine! All solos are in notation and tablature. When writing these solos I first envisioned the form as an extended 'cadenza'.However from my earlier trumpet playing days I recalled that especially in the 19th century a cadenza was a momentary break in a solo which gave the performer a chance to dazzle the audience with his or her virtuosity. Thesesolos are not about that. Rather they are a vehicle to give the guitarist an opportunity to move the listener with the performer's expressive ability. I also thought of these solos in the form of a 'chant'. However most chantsare monophonic in form and these solos in various parts present a fairly lush harmonic structure. While the solos were written for a 7 string guitar they may be played successfully on a 6 string guitar. Alternate notes for thosefound on the 7th string are shown in the tablature part. Also the solo Peace is written in Dropped D tuning and makes little use of the 7th string pedal tones. The solos are contemplative in nature and provide ample opportunityfor individual expression and interpretation. I hope you enjoy playing and performing these works.
