"Prelude One" by Scott Perry
Incidentally, we have posted an original composition by Bay Area guitarist / composer Scott Perry on our website, a lovely prelude. Here is what Scott says about it:
"Of all my guitar works, Prelude One was the first piece that I wrote on a recently acquired 2014 Robert Garcia guitar. The guitar's response in my hands quickly found its own voice so I decided to compose a piece that showcases the strengths of the guitar and to let them guide the construction of the piece. However, I wanted to make it a true prelude that follows what we have come to expect of a music prelude."
