'Guitar Only', produced by Salinas together with Daniel González, was recorded at ION studios under the technical supervision of Jorge Da Silva, 'El Portugués'. "The emphasis on the album was the simplicity of the recording process Playing the guitar with a microphone in front, not much production and songs that mean a lot to me, " says Salinas. The guitarist says " this is the album I've wanted to make. The variety of songs and styles show that I don't want to limit myself to some trend and, as music has no borders, I don't use a passport. I play what like to play and I hope people enjoy it as much as I do." Salinas is a great technical guitarist with an almost superhuman dominance of the "diapason". His "fraseos" are rich in their timbre nuances, he connects major scales with minor ones which keeps your attention on the guitar.
