Scenes from The Wild West
was written between August 2001 and February 2003. Ryan wanted to write some technically challenging and tuneful contemporary repertoire that would hopefully be rewarding to learn and play and at the same time encourage extrovert, rhythmic and entertaining playing. Collectively the suite explores and blends a wide range of techniques used in many of the vastly different styles of guitar playing and American music. There are musical references to steel, slide, plectrum, rhythm, electric and flamenco guitar – as well as to the mandolin and banjo, country and western, gospel, jazz, rock, electronic dance music, film soundtracks, classical, TV, nursery rhymes and incidental music to cartoons!
