About the record
An ethereal blend of solo guitar
The Threading centres on solo guitar, with an ethereal blend of touch, space and unhurried melody. It belongs to the instrumental and contemporary side of Chris Dair’s catalogue, offering a route into his playing that does not begin with a full-band blues-rock sound.
Chris’s account of playing solo guitar places creativity, precision and feeling ahead of speed alone. His writing about recording also explains the importance he gives to playing a piece in one stretch. Those stories are useful companions to the record: a chance to read how he thinks about performance while exploring the music itself.
