Fingerstyle 8-string - Ben Abrahamson - "NEOLITHIC"

• Composed and recorded by Ben Abrahamson (8-string, 12-string, and classical guitars)
• Mixed by Jason McGlone
• Mastered by Rare Form Mastering

"Instrumental guitar recordings typically seek to display virtuosity and fretboard mastery, but for Ben Abrahamson, those qualities are just the point of departure for his flights through extraordinary labyrinths of imagination. Enjoy the ride!"
​ -Tim Sparks

NEOLITHIC is the latest album from MN acoustic guitarist Ben Abrahamson. Twelve compositions for 8-string, 12-string, and classical guitars conjure the flamenco fireworks of Paco de Lucia alongside more domestic influences like Leo Kottke, Ralph Towner, and even Beck. From the rapid flamenco picking on "Chester's Rumba" to the forlorn banjo on the lone cover song "House Carpenter", NEOLITHIC carves away multiple layers of guitar influences to reveal the common roots underneath.
