GUITARSTEW is the 2004 instrumental collaborative work of Danish
rock/pop, metal/blues/fusion guitarists Jacob Kjaer, Tonni Rahm and
Mac Gaunaa. The GuitarStew project originated out of a series of jam
sessions, where the basic idea was that all of the soloing was to be
improvised. An additional rule was that if two of the three players
liked a specific take, it should be kept - regardless of who liked
it or not. All the backing tracks/songs were written by Jacob Kjaer
and Tonni Rahm, but it was forbidden for the composer to solo over
the track prior to the jam session; this way the spontanity and
energy was captured for everyone, since the track would be totally 'fresh'
for all. The results of these jam sessions were so impressive that
the three decided it should be available to all the instrumental
guitar lovers out there. The result of this is the ten songs on the
GuitarStew CD
Jim & Jam. All three musicians feel that the result really reflect
the spontanity, joy, energy and emotion linked with improvised
guitar at its best! | |
