Description:
A group for exploratory, experimental, improvisatory guitar playing - with a feeling for discovery and adventure.

Guitars from Mars!



Some exemplary 'excursions':
  • The metaphysical, 'stream-of-consciousness' guitar meditations of John Fahey.
  • The visceral eruptions of Sonny Sharrock's savage free-jazz guitar.
  • Jimi Hendrix's use of his entire body to play and distort the sound of his instrument.


etc. etc. etc.

Please do recommend interesting guitar players/recordings and share discoveries - and remember to check out the connected artists list!

    Great concept, great picture and great connections. Never thought I'd see people like Elizabeth Cotten and Erkin Koray in the same place except in my library.

    Cool group concept. You should open the forum and make a connections thread. For now, though, I suggest that you connect Davy Graham, who was an extraordinary guitarist and creative genius so far as I'm concerned. Nice avatar, by the way, haha.
