The guitars of Eric Tingstad have been a constant in my life since 2007 and the Southwest album. Since then it has ways been a pleasing thing to be informed that new music is about to come from the artist, here on this brand new offering entitled Compassion we have just that, and never has there been a guitar based reverie as well named as this one is.

The gentle caresses upon the fret by Tingstad float like musical jasmine into and around my senses. The combination of electric and acoustic is certainly something I should do a lot more of, and I find this piece quite inspiring to do so.

The tender tones of a Tingstad guitar are something to be grateful for as with each passing note and measure we are gifted something that is utterly beautiful, and completely transcendent. The shift from major to minor and back again is delightfully thoughtful, and the sensitivity with which this new single has been created is as I said earlier, one that flows perfectly with the subject matter of Compassion.

Compassion by Eric Tingstad is that single fans of guitar based music have been waiting for; a piece with a meditative repose, a crafted melodic artistry, and an empathetic tone and timbre that creates a serene energy for all, surely Compassion by Eric Tingstad must be a big hit for the composer and performer.
