Göran Söllscher is one of the few guitarists in the world to play an 11-string alto guitar. Here he invites time to stand still.

I loved this...beautiful playing and the way the piece was so slow to have things resolve. What a lesson in "waiting for it!" How delicious to feel the next note in my expectant little head but not yet hear it. This was wonderful to give me an experience of time. Thanks.
What a unique instrument 🎸
I closed my eyes & listened…..peace 🕊
He held a saintly presence for me 🙏
