Artist description Trail of Tears is instrumental guitar music aimed at the masses. Most guitar music is nothing more than an excuse for some virtuoso to show off his chops. While this music is impressive to other guitarplayers, it usually is more about technique than good music, so usually the only people that want to listen to it are other guitarists. I decided to write instrumentals that anyone can listen to and enjoy. The two most important elements that I want in my songs are melody and good grooves that even non-guitarists will enjoy.
