Teja Gerken and Doug Young, DUETS - Album Preview

San Francisco Bay Area guitarists Teja Gerken and Doug Young discuss the tunes found on their new album, DUETS, available at Bandcamp: TejaAndDougGuitar.bandcamp.com/releases

DUETS is all about the organic, honest sound of two guitars. Inspired by the examples set by instrumental guitar duos ranging from folk-baroque legends John Renbourn and Bert Jansch to the sophistication of the Duo Assad, Gerken and Young seek to create arrangements that are larger than the sum of their parts. The duo also takes advantage of the timbres available through a dazzling array of tunings and by pairing a wide variety of guitars, which include steel-string acoustics, low-tuned baritones, metal-bodied resonators, full-size and miniature 12-strings, nylon-string classicals, and even an electric archtop jazz guitar.
