Stuart's Garden from SKY FLOWERS by Hidè Takemoto

This is a song I wrote for a friend of mine who passed away just before I could finish writing it. Stuart was an amazing landscape designer, so I wanted to the piece to feel like time had stopped, just as if I was standing in his magical garden in Wales.

Hidè’s ‘magic fingers’ blends Indian, Spanish, Japanese, blues, pop, rock, heavy metal on his guitar.

“Beautiful. The melody sounds great.” - Grammy winner David Russell, on ‘Dear Mum,’

Hidè’s guitar technique can be traced back via Keigo Fujii, José Luis Gonzaléz, Segovia, Llobet to the great Tárrega, epitomising the tradition, compounding classical literacy and the finger-style artistry.
