Noodling on a melody I've had for years, just trying a few variations of many.

The old Melody and the Fall

inspired by "a longer april" by John Giblin / Brand X

Fretless guitar pioneer NED EVETT is taking his new album — and his new signature-model Aluminati aluminum-necked fretless guitar — to Europe to rock just about every big city you can name over there in support of JOE SATRIANI and STEVE VAI’s “SatchVai Band: Surfing with the Hydra” continent-spanning tour. And in this interview/jam, Ned shares exactly how he’ll approach his solo sets opening for the two superstar guitar heroes. He also details songs from “Strange Kind of Freedom” (the aforementioned new album) as well as dives into his many influences — from rock to Indian ragas to folk to life-changing tunes by the Who and Robert Johnson — and relives what it was like to have guitar magician ADRIAN BELEW produce one of his albums. This episode is presented by Guitar Player and GuitarPlayer.com, and hosted by JUDE GOLD

Looking for someone to put lyrics and vocals on this.

Player of the bass, lover of melody, nerd of rhythym. I play in Arabs in Aspic, Atrox, JPH and do freelance jobs. Open for collaborations. This is where I get the ideas too far out for my bands out.

Hi there! 

I blend rock, funk, blues, and disco grooves from my home studio in Valencia, Spain. I write, arrange, and produce everything from scratch. I play bass, guitar, and keys.

Open to collaborations with singers, lyricists, and musicians who dig organic sounds and honest grooves.

If it moves you, let’s talk.

P.D. Que sí, hombre. Tranquilo, también hablo español.
