On his 1997 solo guitar release (now available as digital download only), Salvatori starts heading down the road to find out where his style fits in among the rank and file of the guitar world. Funny thing is, down yonder he runs into a fork in the road of composition and has to make a decision. Play for speed? Play to impress? Play to technical wizardry? No way. He takes the road less traveled. His compositions are minimal in that they have a simple eye on melody and an even simpler ear on the only thing he really cares about - the quiet side of the guitar. In these 15 solo pieces, we all benefit as Salvatori starts whittling out his crafty niche. A guitarist's guitarist only in the sense that when the speed demons all come back from their gigs they'll put on Tom's music to help them relax and unwind. It is evident that Tom favors the intimacy of a one-on-one, personal and private dialogue with each one of his listeners. Download these tracks, play them at home late at night, close your eyes and let the cares of your day wind down...as you fall into a deep, nourishing slumber...
