Guitar Rock you don't have to be a guitarist to appreciate. Melodic, listenable instrumental Rock inspired by the likes of Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore and others.

From the extreme surf rock of “Wah-Wah Watusi” to the emotional melodies of “Brothers Still”, Shut Up & Play puts guitar rock front and center.

A melodic guitar instrumental initially written for lyrics. I had so much fun with the improvised melody on the demo that I went ahead and made it an instrumental.

Wah-Wah Watusi

The synth and rhythm tracks are inspired by my love of The Who. Specifically Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Riley. Once I started adding melodies it took on its own life. That's the cool thing about recording sometimes. The song goes where it wants to regardless of how hard I try. ;-)

Indomitable

Solitude  

I would be grateful, if I didn´t need to feel abandoned again,
cause oh, this was never my feeling anyway,
it was yours and it´s old by the way, so let´s…
shake this off and put it where it belongs, shake this off and put it…

Away with waves,
praised be grace,
solitude feels so good.

I would be grateful, if I could allow myself to feel what I feel,
cause oh, it was you, but now it´s me, who forbid,
so let´s ease and perceive and then …
shake this off and put it where it belongs, shake this off and put it…

Away with waves,
praised be grace,
solitude feels so good.

"It's boring in this world, gentlemen!" – Nikolai Gogol

"Fair" is a musical composition inspired by Modest Mussorgsky "Pictures at an Exhibition" and crafted in the style of classical music. This captivating track skillfully blends orchestral sounds with melodic and harmonic progressions to create an impressive and emotive atmosphere reminiscent of the exhibition's artwork.

"Fair" opens with confident and triumphant themes that convey the ambiance of the event and the joyous anticipation. Orchestral instruments, including piano, strings, brass, and percussion, intertwine harmoniously, giving rise to intricate and vibrant musical imagery.

As the track unfolds, the music becomes more dynamic and energetic, uplifting the listener's mood and encapsulating the vividness and diversity of the exhibition's paintings. Melodies ascend and descend, capturing the unpredictability and ever-shifting moods one might experience while perusing the exhibition.

"Fair" serves as the perfect soundtrack for projects related to art, exhibitions, galleries, or visual presentations. It helps create an atmosphere of refinement, elegance, and inspiration, complementing visual imagery and enhancing its significance. This track is a great choice for infusing your creative projects with classical music aesthetics.

d-moll; 4/4; varies bpm

Hourglass (original track)

This track sounds pretty much like a late night summer jam session on a coastal house! Maybe it reminds me of my childhood. I just love how the bass and guitar communicate throughout the track. Hope you like it too.

THE JUNGLE

A song about friends in need

LYRICS:

We burned like a fire in a field of snow
We yearned to be higher than our highest hopes
They turned to see why we didn’t chose to show
We learned to stay quiet rather than say no

We’ll hold you up if you are falling down
We won’t give up or let you touch the ground
We know that you would only do the same for us if we had found ourselves that way

Hold You Up

A song about starting a new life

LYRICS:

You moved south and you changed your life again
Your big mouth put you in a world of pain
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, strained
Your clean slate is shimmering in summer rain

You fell in with a band of miscontents
They taught you how to think in just the present tense
Life seemed pretty sweet for a time, on the sunshine coast with a bottle of wine
Until the past caught up, put you back into line again

We can do anything

If you marry me, we’ll make this all real
Our souls we’ll adorn with faith that we’ll steal
A look in the eye, a kiss on the mouth
With hearts open wide we keep moving south

Take a breath and you’re back on track again
Engine on and the fire is crackling
Take my hand and we’ll run through the sand to where the ocean spray brings an end to the land
And we can swim along to the sound of the mandolin

You moved south and you changed your life again
Your clean slate is shimmering in summer rain
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, strained
Your big mouth put you in a world of pain

Keep Moving South

It Didnt End Well

Original composition.  Alejandro Gonzalez m.  (Sabine Alexander).

Awake

Melodic instrumental rock music you don’t have to be a guitarist to appreciate.

Growing up in the 80’s, Rich bought a used $15 guitar after the death of his parents at age 17 and began to learn.

Faking Stevie Ray Vaughan on the cheap guitar, Rich literally played until his fingers bled. A year later with his first electric he was cutting his teeth on Van Halen’s Eruption and the shredders of Shrapnel Records. This led to his first band while earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Va Tech. After graduation, the shock of “real life” motivated a visit to Musicians Institute in LA with the hopes of attending but the cost and a younger brother to care for proved too much.

Returning to VA, Rich worked as an engineer by day and played at night. In 1987, Joe Satriani's “Surfing with the Alien” changed the landscape and motivated Rich to self record and release “Was It Good For You Too?” in 1991 and the eponymous CD for his band “Red Handed” in 1994.

After a 10 year break from playing in 1998 to marry and start a family, a Father’s Day gift to Rock Fantasy Camp in 2008 provided inspiration to play again.

Rich is back doing what he loves. Playing guitar, writing, and recording “songs without words” in the hopes of sharing guitar music you don’t have to be a guitarist to appreciate.
