Canadian fingerstyle guitar whiz Carter Lancaster at last makes his Harp Guitar Music solo CD debut with a thoroughly engaging collection of 8 harp guitar and 6 six-string acoustic guitar pieces. Produced by Carter Lancaster and Harp Guitar Music founder Gregg Miner, this is Carter"s second CD, and first to feature his amazing harp guitar compositions (on over half the tunes). Every single tune is infectious and immediately accessible...and then they continue to grow on you! Why? Lush open tunings, inimitable melodic two-handed tapping, rock-solid rhythm and power to match. And always melody, melody, melody. All original solo acoustic compositions and all new recordings (Jubal"s Tomb also appears in a slightly different version on Harp Guitar Dreams). On both harp guitar and 6-string, Carter is that rare bird - a guitarist"s guitarist and a gifted tunesmith. Technique and flash can be impressive and fun for awhile, but Carter s techniques always serve the tune. He stands out from other guitar hotshots by utilizing complex two-handed tapping in a completely freeing, melodic way. Rather than percussive and showy, it appears graceful and effortless a sleight of hand that he uses as a means to an end: brisk and impossibly lovely melodic motifs. His rich open tunings and the clever use of same help create lush, harp-like arrangements on 6-string and harp guitar alike. With his strong, solid and dynamic rhythm, he gets rock band effects with just 6 or 12 strings on acoustic fingerstyle, no less. And always melody at the core of instantly accessible and infectious tunes that feed the heart, mind and soul.
