It’s all started 15 years ago at Frankfurt Music Messe. Wind Strings Music Group were known as “Acoustic Guitar Music (AGTM)” before it was formed. Although we love Finger Style music, and we also have hundreds of Finger Style CD collection. But after all, we were just a small group and this kind of music can be only enjoyed by ourselves, we’ve been trying to introduce Finger Style music to the public, We believe people will like it, because it has its own unique feature: leisure, freedom and enjoyable. While we listening to the CD, we can hear guitarist telling their own life stories, it feels so real. We were trying to play the same and to feel the happiness and the sadness from the music.
There are a lot of live shows during Frankfurt Music Messe, some of them rearranged familiar pieces into their own feelings, some of them played as accurate as recording, some of them added improvisation to each piece, and there were also a lot of unfamiliar artists who played fantastic. We were shocked, and very impressed, when we back to Taiwan; we finally find the way to introduce Finger Style music to the public.
Smile is a universal language, so does music! With the passion for Finger Style music and the help of lots of musicians, we finally opened another area between singing play-along and classical music, the new area is called Finger Style music. Think back then, those who helped Wind Strings were really big names in Finger Style world.
Since early AGTM to Wind Strings Group, all these 17 years, we not only distribute and publish CDs and music sheets from Finger Style guitar players all over the world, but also held Finger Style guitar concerts, Finger Style contest, and Finger Style guitar Festivals. From school guitar club to big hall concert, from Taiwan to Asia, we have been elevating from a local concert holder to a trust-worth company which is response for Finger Style market all over Asia.
To tell you the truth, this passion all starts from the love of Finger Style music. We will continue to move forward, to surprise you again and again, be with us, support us, we will give you more and better.
