Here's an acoustic guitar solo I threw together; I didn't record to a click so I'm probably way off time in some parts.

The Spaniard

1st track off of my instrumental metal album. 
I used my Ibanez Prestige 8 string for tracking my rhythms.
I recorded all guitar leads and solos using my Schecter Custom.
Also used a synth harmonizer for accents over some of the guitar rhythms.

This story follows a group of young childhood friends as they grow into adulthood and navigate through the experiences that must come with that; the wistful memories of their youth, the death of childhood, love and loss and growing older. However, they eventually discover they are in an illusionary world controlled by an omniscient super intelligence directly affecting every decision or even thought one may have, keeping them locked in an endless loop. Ultimately the friends find their true path and break free after a perpetual night of no reprieve.

This concept album sort of acts as a spiritual successor to my Demo EP "Welcome to the Neighborhood", as some similar musical themes appear in both, mostly used to foreshadow this one.

Thanks for listening, it always means a lot to me.
