Adventurous rhythmic concepts with frequent use of pickup notes, syncopated basslines and meter changes make these contemporary guitar solos creative and extremely interesting. The solos feature singable melodies and are easily within the skill level of the intermediate level guitarist. Ideal for concert, recital or just playing for fun.
