Album Notes

“The 2006 release of Six Strings marks the first full length solo CD from Canadian classical guitarist, Brad Mahon. Aside from adding in some tasteful reverb in the mastering process, all the sounds on Six Strings are as Mahon cut them live in a studio setting. An outstanding classical guitarist, Mahon is clearly in his element here, covering a wide ranging centuries old repertoire of guitar masters – some of the big names like Tarrega and Villa-Lobos but all still deserving rediscovery. As this excellent sounding CD intends, it’s good to know that there’s still devoted classical technicians like Brad Mahon on the scene reminding everyone about where the whole guitar world really began.”
