8 solo performances

These eight solo pieces are essentially unused outtakes from the documentary “A Life Well Played.”
Since it will be a good long time (if ever) before I perform any public solo acoustic guitar material, it’s very appropriate to pass this on.
Over the years, I have developed a lot of solo guitar material, which is mostly original but does include some “arrangements” as well.
I have written over 40 solo guitar pieces in preparation for a solo performance career that never quite materialized as most of the gigs I’ve done have been with small groups. Still, it’s satisfying to have created that repertoire, and the music is fun to play at home which I do almost daily.
I have long been convinced that the ultimate test of a song is whether it can be convincingly delivered in a solo performance.
The vintage atmospheric house this was videoed in was found by director Rene Erickson. I think the location does add character and a warm patina to the visual experience. These songs have been tailored in such a way that all eight pieces are presented in just 15 minutes.
Please think of this as a “virtual house concert.”
Be kind.
Love,
Reyn
