Don Maloney is an innovative 7 and 8-string guitarist weaving captivating melodies through inviting harmonies over sophisticated grooves.
He then performs it all simultaneously! The resulting music often sounds like 2 or 3 musicians instead of only one.

“The style Don Maloney represents
goes from funk to jazz in very creative, grooving, melodic pieces
on acoustic guitar...His guitar techniques are sublime, using
slapping and tapping elements with top-notch bass lines...Don Maloney
impresses a lot not only as a guitarist but certainly also as a
composer.”

Maloney's command of his instruments is excellent, and he gets a wide range of tone colour out of them, all in the service of his musical ideas. I did feel that some of the longer songs went on a bit, but they are in no way unpleasant to listen to. In fact, this is a great CD to put on to listen to with friends. The recording is excellent and every nuance of performance, every subtle tonal shade of each guitar, is clear and present. Definitely worth checking out!
