“Six String Sonics, The” is about reinventing the guitar. Artist Gil Kuno created “Six String Sonics, The” to rid the guitar of its ergonomic limitations and make room for more possibilities in composition. Instead of stringing 1 guitar with 6 strings, Gil created 6 single string guitars to be played collaboratively by 6 guitarists at the same time. The resulting compositions sound much more colorful than standard guitar music, as the group is capable of reaching many more chords and melodies.
