Kaleidophon

Traditionally, the concert classical guitar has been a nylon string, acoustic instrument played with the fingers. My concept of concert style guitar centers around a steel stringed, amplified guitar played with a pick.

Dedicated to the art of the solo guitar, Kaleidophon explores a diverse range of repertoire. This material was gathered from the following sources:
