"Guitar Player" is renowned singer/songwriter Brooks Williams instrumental solo acoustic guitar masterpiece! Williams tunes are spirited and beautiful....with echoes of Fahey, Joseph Spence and Pat Metheny.

His inspiration comes from players as Pat Metheny, Jobim, Phil Keaggy, Ry Cooder but also Bach  and John Renbourn among others. His style is a mix between folk, ragtime , finger-style, country and also jazz. He really draws from a wide palette of sounds and has a very nice groove in his guitar playing. On this album you never get bored as Brooks has the ability to play from a broad musical palette of styles. A wide variety of different rhythms and composing skills are played as well with superb techniques as well in an engaged moving sound with a beautiful signature.

Some of his pieces have that intimate sound that for instance Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa are well-known for .Brooks plays as well in standard as altered tunings. He also uses many different guitars to get the sound he wants to paint. The album contains 16 tracks and are all written like poems. One feels sometimes a soothing and melancholic sound as on Some Other Time. Triangular Situations  expresses the classical influences Vasco Martins is well-known for. Far Away by Peter Jung also a master piece with a unique spiritual approach. Most of Brooks own 8 compositions express a warm and passionate groove. His outstanding talent and taste make of him a truly  musical genius.
