For some reason I have been very attracted lately to classical guitar. I think it simply sounds beautiful. The other day while doing some work at home, I put my iTunes on shuffle and suddenly a beautiful acoustic guitar started playing through the speakers with a very aggressive yet lovely melody and pattern.
At first I said, “Uhh, boring”, but I ended up sitting down contemplating the rest of the song.
Before the song finished I ran to my computer to see who the guitarist was. His name – Edgar Cruz. First of all, I didn’t know who he was or how his music got into my collection, perhaps it was a divine sign? Anyway, since that day I have been listening to a lot of classical guitar, more flamenco orientated and I am loving it! It really is beautiful and worthwhile listening for any musician!
Who is Edgar Cruz?
He’s an independent classical and finger-style guitarist from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Having recorded over a sixteen albums in styles ranging from Classical to Flamenco, Pop to Jazz, Cruz has played it all. It is perhaps his finger-style arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody for which he is best.
