Guitar Masters 08 of 16 Hedges, Morone, Sparks, Zappa

Still today people ask me about the old guitar torrents that I shared years ago at my first times at the Bay.
They often tell me that is difficult to find them all, cause the TPB search engine sucks, cause their trackers are dead and they seem deserted.
So I've decided to reshare them all with a unifying pattern in the name of the torrent:

Guitar Masters

followed by a progressive number, so those who are interested can find them easily.
They deal primarily with fingerstyle, and the albums they contain are not generally easy to find... so dont expect overall 320 bitrates.
The founding criterion here is to find and remember them as a document of great music of the past.

Enjoy :)

MICHAEL HEDGES

Michael Hedges was an American acoustic guitarist.
   
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hedges   
http://www.nomadland.com/

There's a fingerstyle guitar BEFORE Michael Hedges and a fingerstyle guitar AFTER Michael Hedges: his approach to the instrument is a Copernican revolution. After him the guitar can be played as a hammer with percussive techniques never seen before.

He wrote nearly exclusively in alternate tunings. Some of the techniques he used include slap harmonics (created by slapping the strings over a harmonic node), use of right hand hammer-ons (particularly on bass notes), use of the left hand for melodic or rhythmic hammer-ons and pull offs, percussive slapping on the guitar body, as well as unusual strummings. He also made extensive use of string dampening as employed in classical guitar, and was known to insist strongly on the precise duration of sounds and silences in his pieces.

Probably it's unuseful to make a torrent about him, but this is my personal tribute to his memory. What follows it's a collection of his albums. Also included is an amateur video where an unknown fellow shows the astonishing techniques that Hedges used in his tunes.
And, if you have time, take a look onwhere you can find videos of his performance: A bliss for the heart and the eyes...

FRANCO MORONE

Franco Morone is a gifted guitar player and composer and highly-regarded guitar teacher. His musical background is diverse, including everything from Deep Purple concerts in his Italian youth, to American blues giants like Blind Blake, to the inspirational guitar work of Leo Kottke. His own music is similarly versatile, covering everything from blues and jazz to Celtic, traditional Italian, Californian New Age, and more. 

He is one of those true musicians who can say whatever he wants to say with his guitar, which makes his live performances even better than his fine recordings. If he's playing anywhere near you, you really owe it to yourself to hear his graceful, passionate, and remarkably enjoyable music live.

TIM SPARKS

Tim Sparks is an american guitarist with a strong classical background.
This is reflected in the complex harmonic structures of his pieces. His music ranges from blues to balcaninc and sefardic echoes with a strong use of weird odd tempos.

If you dont understand from these poor words the richness of his music, listen for instance "Bach'n'Alya" from the album "Guitar Bazaar". Is it too weird for your ears? But this is pure fingerstyle, listen...

RICCARDO ZAPPA

Riccardo Zappa is an italian composer and fingerstyle guitarist. 

   
http://www.riccardozappa.it/

His approach to the fingerstyle guitar since 1977 is peculiarly based on sound manipulations and special effects to build rich textures both on 6 and 12 strings guitars.

What follows is a collection of some of his albums... Enjoy...
