Guitar Trek
The pioneering work of this group has seen the development of a specially made family of guitars of different sizes and an exciting new repertoire for the medium.
Guitar Trek's strong popular appeal has led to immense success, with two best-selling CDs available on ABC Classics and regular touring overseas and in Australia for Musica Viva. A third Guitar Trek CD was also recently recorded by the ABC for release in 2000.
Guitar Trek is featured on the following titles
Six Fish
Guitar Trek began in 1987 and broke new ground for the guitar with a special “family” of instruments: standard guitars by Greg Smallman, treble guitars by Eugene Philp and Greg Smallman, and baritone and bass guitars by Graham Caldersmith.
