Notion
Tash Sultana, 2016. Solo by Tash Sultana.
A slower, soulful track where Sultana's guitar solo emerges as the emotional centre.
Notion is a slower, soulful track where Tash Sultana's guitar solo emerges as the emotional centre. Built on loops and layers, the song gradually intensifies, and the solo cuts through with expressive bends and a warm, slightly overdriven tone. Sultana's phrasing is patient and heartfelt, allowing each note to carry weight. The solo grows from gentle, melodic phrases into more intense, soaring lines as the song builds. Listen for how the guitar interacts with the looped layers, and how Sultana uses sustain and vibrato to give the solo a vocal quality, as if the guitar were singing the song's deepest feelings.
Notion by Tash Sultana is featured in our Neo-Soul (#19) list. The solo is played by Tash Sultana and the song was released in 2016.
