A virtuoso guitar driven instrumental fusion of shred metal, classical, blues, jazz, latin and blue-grass by virtuoso session guitarist and film score composer Ray DeTone is what you'll find on Guitar Noir. These tracks were among DeTone's favorites among the over 80 songs he compsed from April of 2005 to January 2006 - a prolific ten-month period. Other than a few guests on piano and drums, DeTone is in complete control here, using a variety of guitars, playing bass, percussion, keyboards and programming rhythms. Ray DeTone is an eclectic player, fusing diverse musical elements, styles and genres, creating a signature sound that stands out amidst todays' onslaught of redundancy. Melody and emotional intensity coupled with the right style and sound for the song are of utmost importance to this fine guitarist. And this musical maturity is once again showcased on his third instrumental CD, Guitar Noir. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Rock/Fusion), total running time, 53:56 - Ray DeTone @ iTunes!
