Clive Carroll in Concert

By Clive Carroll

The level of musicality that Clive displays is truly astonishing, one not automatically present in even the most skilled of professional guitarists. Stylistically, Clives compositions rove eclectically and brilliantly through and across genre boundaries. Clives composition Aerial Discoveries is an homage to Michael Hedges. With his use of two-handed tapping, Michael broke down musical barriers. Carroll says, allowing a refreshing new range of homophonic and polyphonic textures to evolve. Carrolls Farewell is a lyrical creation directly inspired by Clives Irish upbringing. This composition display Clives superb sense of rhythm, external and internal, and his unerring feel for pace, knowing just when and how to let the music breathe Most of Carrolls compositions are in standard tuning. Snake Bite Boogie, which he wrote for one of his students is particularly tricky. Rogers got this extraordinary ability to learn everything I give him from memory by the next lesson, Clive says. So one week, feeling a bit evil, I gave him this and said, Right then Roger, see you next week!
