Rick Foster's releases are among our most popular items. His fine guitar solos reflect a skillful blend of classical training and Nashville roots. Suffice to say that artists as varied as Chet Atkins and Christopher Parkening have recorded Rick's arrangements.

All of Rick's books feature note-for-note transcriptions of his most popular albums. Guitarist's Forum is proud to offer this fine music.

This is Rick's latest CD/Book Set—just released on May 11, 2005. As I write this, our review copy and first batch of CD/Book sets are travelling cross country. I talked with Rick about the Book/CD Set, and based on his comments, and on each of his past releases, I feel very confident offering this new package sight unseen. We've carried Rick's music since the 1980's, and his performance on every one of his albums is top-notch. He's a wonderful player, and his heartfelt connection to the repertoire comes across on every album.

I'll have more to tell you once I've heard the album. For now, here are Rick's words, along with some notable reactions to Remembrance of Chet Atkins:
  

"The first guitar album I ever heard was Chet Atkins Plays Back Home Hymns, which gave me a vision for arranging and performing sacred music for solo guitar. I'm pleased to present this collection of sacred music performed on one of Chet's greatest guitars."

—Rick Foster
  

"Rick Foster was one of Chet's favorite players and close friends. He is an exceptional player—great tone and touch. On his new CD Rick is playing two guitars that Chet gave him. I think you will enjoy Rick's new CD as much as I have."

—Paul Yandell, Chet's long time musical partner and friend
  

"I listened to your CD—really excellent choice of material and everything is played so well. The tempos all seem so solid and so very musical. It all seems pretty close to perfect... and having it all played on Chet's guitars is a magical connection."

—Mason Williams, Three time Grammy winner and composer of Classical Gas
  
"Rick Foster may be one of the luckiest musicians I know because he has found a purpose with his music, that purpose being to glorify God. Rick's playing is rich with expression and color, simply beautiful. May he share his faith and talent for many, many years."

—Bill Piburn, Editor, Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine
