“We continued with the layout we developed for Soundtrack Acoustic Guitar Vol 1: lots of parts for each suite plus the option to combine melodic lines with chordal passages for a “two player” sound.

We cover a broad range of feels in this collection through the use of Major and Minor keys, a variety of tempos and meters, and a host of emotional settings. Suites go from wistful, to ceremonial, to laid-back feel-good, to many others.

We used a cedar top classical guitar with nylon “recording strings” to minimize string noise. Depending on the suite, recordings were either made with a pair of Neumann KM184 cardioid condenser microphones or a KM184 with a Royer 122 ribbon microphone. Everything was recorded through a Benchmark PRE420 preamp.”
