Tag: $100 Guitar Project

Bridge Records has released ‘The $100 Guitar Project’ (BRIDGE 9381A/B). This is what it says on the back of the CD case:

In October of 2010, guitarists Nick Didkovsky and Chuck O’Meara bought a used $100 electric guitar online. They didn’t know what it sounded like or if it even worked, but were charmed by its no-name vibe as were 63 of their guitar-playing friends, each of whom wrote and recorded a piece on it, before passing it on to the next player….

Royalties on every sale of the $100 Guitar Project will be paid directly to CARE, a leading organization fighting global poverty.

The double CD is currently available from Bridge Records, and from one of my favorite stores, Wayside Music. You can also download the digital edition of this recording from iTunes and eMusic.

Coming soon from Bridge Records:

In October of 2010, guitarists Nick Didkovsky and Chuck O’Meara bought a used $100 electric guitar online. They didn’t know what it sounded like or if it even worked, but were charmed by its no-name vibe. After receiving the instrument, they contacted a few friends about writing and recording a piece on the guitar. Word spread quickly, and within weeks, the $100 Guitar Project was born. Over two years, sixty-five guitarists wrote and recorded a piece on the instrument, each passing the guitar on to the next player (the guitar traveled all over the USA, including Hawaii, and to western Europe as well). Stylistically, the players come from every corner of the guitar-playing world: classical to blues; jazz to country; rock to experimental. Donating their services to a good cause, a royalty on every sale of the $100 Guitar Project will be paid to CARE, a leading organization fighting global poverty. [More…]
