************************************************************ *** HEAR MORE SOUND SAMPLES OF BRIAN'S SOLO WORK AT WWW.GUITARPOET.COM TOUR DATES AND SOUND SAMPLES FROM THE UPCOMING LIVE RELEASE AT WWW.INTERNATIONALGUITARNIGHT.COM ************************************************************ *** Welcome to my myspace site, and thanks for listening. Although I am an acoustic guitarist by trade, I consider myself a "performing songwriter" who performs primarily instrumental works. Instrumental guitar-- in all its variants-- has been very crucial to helping me grow as a person.I have a gift for melody that for a long time was bewildering to me. Fortunately, I've had many mentors; Peppino D'Agostino and Alex de Grassi on the "steel string" side, Andrew York and many others on the "nylon string" side. As time has gone by, through the help and inspiration of my mentors and guitar idols, I've managed to develop a decent craft for songwriting on guitar. One thing I've done which has really helped, is to put words to the melodies. I have songs with words that I perform in shows, but primarily, I choose to frame my songs as "guitarpoems." That's why I call myself a "guitarpoet." I now have a small cadre of students myself who are following in my footsteps, and a book on fingerstyle guitar, called "Fingerstyle Guitar, Technique and Creativity."--I am constantly awed and humbled by the kind of talent out there in instrumental guitar. As a way of "paying my dues" to acoustic guitar, I started a touring guitar festival I perform in and host, called "International Guitar Night (IGN)." Brazilian guitar has always been a major source of inspiration with me. For this reason, I'm proud of the many Brazilian guitarists who've been part of IGN-- including Guinga, Badi Assad, Marco Pereira and Paulo Bellinati.We've also featured many outstanding classical guitar composers in the show, including Ralph Towner, Andrew York, and Dusan Bogdanovic. In the context of these shows, I've had the honor of creating performing original music with some of the most highly regarded players from around the world-- including Pierre Bensusan. These collaborations are the artistic fruit born from "paying my dues."What I *really* hope for is to inspire new generations of listeners to acoustic guitar music. It's my hope that my work can touch and change people through music, the way the music has touched and changed me. So, thanks again for listening.************************************************** *************"For all the exhaustive work that Brian Gore puts into bringing contemporary guitar music to the masses, his name is unjustly unknown to them. As the lead participant and coordinator of the perennial "International Guitar Night" series, Gore has forged the opportunity to tour and play with some of the finest acoustic guitarists in the world: Pierre Bensusan, Alex deGrassi, Ralph Towner, Martin Taylor, Peppino D'Agostino, Laurence Juber, Don Ross, Andrew York and others. The networking has borne artistic fruit, not only for the listening public who, were it not for Gore, otherwise would have one less opportunity to see and hear these individual guitar giants, but also for the music itself to grow by the collaboration between these very creative artists. Gore seems to have this sort of easy chemistry with all those with whom he plays; a measure of both the man and the artist." -Alan Fark, Minor7th**************************************************** *********** "Brian Gore has built a name for himself through hard work, tremendous skill and a gift for melody like few others. No longer "emerging", Brian has become a member of the community of guitar masters he has toured with. Brian writes songs, not tunes, fully developed stories told with six steel strings and a passion rarely seen instrumentally or lyrically. -Jay Howlett, KKUP Radios Friday Folk Off with David Stafford. |
