"Devkinandan Patel has composed a beautiful collection of solo guitar etudes which is a welcome addition to the solo guitar repertoire. These songs express a high level of musicality and craftsmanship."

"The pieces in this book explore many wonderful sonorities that are unique to the acoustic guitar. The composer Devkinandan Patel, is a player with very fine technique and an expert knowledge of the fretboard. His collection will help to advance student's technical skill and musicianship, and the music also works well in concert!"

Clive Carroll

“Music has no boundaries, and guitars even less. Geographically speaking, we live far apart, Dev in India and myself in central Brittany. But musically, we are very close. I have great admiration for Dev’s compositional work, it is his guitar sound that moves me particularly. Bravo, my friend! I hope to see you in person one day, and maybe exchange a few notes!”
