"Hey Ray - You're rockin' better than ever" Elliott Randell (Steely Dan)
Ray DeTone has always been an eclectic player, fusing diverse musical elements, styles and genres, creating a signature sound that stands out amidst todays' onslaught of redundancy. Melody and emotional intensity coupled with the appropriate style and sound for the song are of utmost importance to this fine guitarist. And this musical maturity is once again showcased on his third instrumental CD, Guitar Noir!"
Guitar Noir, is guitar driven instrumental fusion of shred metal, classical, blues, prog rock, jazz, latin and blue-grass by virtuoso session guitarist and film score composer Ray DeTone. .
These tracks were plucked from over 80 songs RDT composed for TV & film from April of 2005 to January 2006 - hence the title.
