GUITALTRUISM is the latest album of Greek guitarist, arranger and composer, Yorgos Nousis. The composer came up with the name when he was trying to figure out the purpose of this CD but also the purpose of his art. Combining the word Guitar together with altruism, this CD and music of Yorgos Nousis in general his gift to the listeners and potential performers. It is a simple way to express his gratitude for being able to create art that might affect and inspire some people.
The album includes pieces for solo guitar, guitar & oud and guitar duets.
“On an album of original works that keeps the listener at the table with its compositional and improvisational variety and then goes the extra mile by upping the ante with brilliant performances and interpretations throughout, the standout work on Guitaltruism is, in fact, the album itself.”

instrument.
His music captivates with its simplicity, but without a shadow of banality, and this is one of the most important characteristics of true art.
I would particularly recommend this CD to guitar teachers looking for fresh, attractive, accessible and imaginative repertoire for their students.
I hope that the beauty and unpretentiousness of music of Yorgos Nousis will encourage many of them to further explore the musical world of the guitar."
