Library by Gratton published on 2013-06-26T03:37:56Z In college, I worked as a security "guard" at the campus library. Occasionally, I got to work 3rd shift while the library was closed, by myself, in a huge, dark, sometimes freaky, complex. I would bring in my acoustic guitar and record it in different areas of the library (not to mention, raid the music library). So much fun - like a giant playground for me. I probably wasn't the best choice for security! So I named this 12-string piece after it. I'm not sure if it's really "about" the library, but more of a salute to a fun, creative time in my life.

You make it sound like there's 3 guitars in there. Maybe one day I should get myself a 12-string too. Fine playing and dynamics. You really know this style well :) 2013-06-26T06:37:37Z
