Exploratory Guitar by Winterwood
What is Exploratory Guitar?
Exploratory guitar is a form of musical meditation. A commitment to exploring curiosity, touch, moments, and allowing oneself to remain in an unfixed, and uncertain state of mind for as long as situation and circumstance allows.
Zac first picked up the guitar at age 12, and other than his familial relationships, the electric guitar has been the longest companion in his life. Seeing him through all of the various colours of existence.
Exploratory guitar is a recurring methodology. A means to feel musically active during times of creative block. To find ways to reconnect to what you loved about learning to play music in the first place.
The process is simple: Randomly pick up the guitar, record the session, and play for as long or as short as you feel. Surrender to simply being with the instrument, and connecting with it. There are no ideas or preconceptions. Only the capturing of that place in time.
