GT: What is it about guitar instrumentals that appeals to you?
RB: Guitar for me is the same thing as a vocal for the singers - the ability to tell the story, to express feelings and emotions through the music. I don’t feel guitar music as only instrumental. For me this is the same art of self-expression as all other musical genres, just a little more difficult for an unprepared listener to find meanings in melodies and harmonies without words. The same as classical works, the art requires preparation to understand.
GT: What can an instrumental provide a listener that a vocal song can't?
It's just a different genre, like science fiction compared to detective. I think it can broaden one's horizons to some extent. Good instrumental music is usually a bit or much more
