Martin Howard’s solo classical guitar piece does exactly what it sets out to do. It sounds like winter light coming through colored glass. His fingerpicking is clean and deliberate, and you can tell he knows his way around the instrument from years of proper training.
What works here is how Howard mixes his classical foundation with those Andalucian accents. He’s not trying to impress anyone with flashy runs or complicated passages. The piece moves at its own pace, building atmosphere rather than demanding attention.
Howard’s been around long enough to pick up techniques from folk, blues, and rock, and you can hear bits of all of it informing his approach here. He’s writing for people who actually listen to guitar music, not just background noise. The composition has depth, and you’ll catch new details each time you play it back. If you’re curious about what else he’s working on or want to see his other projects, you should follow him on Spotify where he shares updates about his music and collaborations with other artists.
