Melody in rarely heard beauty and clarity always is the focus of D’Agostino’s music, no matter how stunningly sophisticated and technically refined his guitar playing is at every second. In his compositions, D’Agostino combines folkloristic elements with contemporary music thus creating his very own style that lets him emerge easily from the innumerable crowd of guitar players. The flawless integration of great guitar craftsmanship and outstanding lyrical expressiveness is truly D’Agostino’s very own trademark, that, no doubt about it, will make “A Glimpse of Times Past” one of the critics‘ and listeners‘ favourite choices. Being more than just a fabulous guitar record, “A Glimpse” reveals a variety of open tunings. For years now D’Agostino has been experimenting with alternative guitar tunings and, of course, those can be heard on his latest record as well. And D’Agostino even didn’t mind to share his secrets: His open tunings are explicitely named in the booklet for all the guitar players out there.
