about

“Our sweetest songs are those of saddest thought.” ― Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Bittersweet, such a wonderful and often used combination. I think it to be very appropriate for this piece. It is based on the flamenco style of Alegría. The word Alegría literally means "joy." A festive flamenco style often played in the major scales. However, some who know me understand that I have a tendency towards the melancholic. So indeed this one is BitterSweet.
I play it as a duet of two guitars, with a fusion of traditional flamenco percussion and more latin rhythms. Also I fused some Jazz and Brazilian type chords and melodies in here.

I hope you'll enjoy my bittersweet guitar instrumental and as always I appreciate your time listening, comments and likes!

- Dan

Architect/partner by profession I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments, Renaissance lute, Flamenco, Classical guitar and fusion. ... more
