Acoustic Instrumental Guitar

About Me



I am an acoustic instrumental guitarist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA). I have played guitar for 36 years. My first love was the Spanish guitar because I thought it was amazing that so much music could come from just one person and one instrument. I also played electric guitar and bass in bands for many years but returned to acoustic instrumental music 20 years ago. I love listening to and playing instrumental guitar music in public settings like parties or restaurants because the music creates a mood and an atmosphere, but people can still have conversations without having to raise their voices.
I play mostly original compositions in an eclectic mix of styles, including Jazz, Celtic, Bossa Nova, Classical, Flamenco, and other ambient world music style. I play a steel string Taylor, usually in altered tunings and a nylon string Takemine in standard tuning or Drop D.
I owe a huge musical debt to Phil Keaggy, Pierre Bensusan, Michael Hedges and Tommy Emmanuel whose inspiration has kept me playing music all these years. I owe a continuing dept to many other musicians, including the ones on this page, whose music continues to inspire me. If you like the samples on the player above, please visit my main web page to hear more short samples or you can hear samples of all the songs on my CD, Latitudes, at CD Baby.
I have one solo CD, LATITUDES, which is available at CDBABY. Please follow the link to CDBABY and you can hear samples of every song on LATITUDES.
My songs are also on iTunes. Search iTunes for Tim Gaulden Latitudes.
