Concerto No. 1 in G Major for Solo Improvised Acoustic Guitar (2019)by Richard EllisOne man, one guitar. No idea what he'll do.

this  album was played by  richard ellis  on a godin  multiac steel spectrum guitar in a single
improvised take on 6/28/2019 at spring creek music in louisville, colorado. there are no edits.
recorded by richard ellis, touched  up a bit by vic dillahay who  also produced  this album for
curious automata. pete ehrmann provided no photography  for this album so there are no pictures
of richard which may be a good thing, unless  you like looking at  pictures of richard ellis in
which case you should buy his other albums or  maybe even just try to find him wandering around
and observe him in his  natural habitat. he  teaches lessons at guitars, etc in longmont and at
spring creek music  in louisville so if you want to sound  like this album  you should consider
finding him there so you  can study with  him  if you do not want to sound like him he can help
you with that as  well. but, really,  why would you not want to sound  exactly like this album?
a near-perfect exploration of the key of g major - he  deviates  only  once.  at the end of the
penultimate track there is a single a-flat note - a  minor ninth  in the middle of a lush patch
of otherwise pristine ionian bliss. this one  mistake,if it can be called a mistake reveals the
genius of his method. a single mar, calling for our attention, marks the end of this meditative
composition, improvisation, thing made in time, for time, hearing time, hearing this thing that
                                             exists
                                               in
                                              time
