This is my project on instrumental guitar/harp based tracks.
Inspired by the adventure that it is to become a father.
What do you think about when you listen to it?

just pretending

Here is my first improvisation over "I got a major blues".

You can play to the backing track also found here:

https://soundcloud.com/marcus-dahlstrom/blues-bipolar-jam-track-g-major

Before the Ice (the Stockholm Sessions)

I got a major blues (improv #1)

I am Marcus Dahlström, guitar enthusiast at night, and expert physicist at day.

All music and lyrics and are written by me. My songs are recorded on a Scarlett 2i2 in my tiny walk-in-closet! I use a Cort guitar (CEC5 NAT) and Hohner harps. The synth used on some tracks is actually my smart phone!

I hope you like the songs!

/ Marcus
