Ft.JUNZO-Lover's Prayer-Lisha Nandi ,  Frank DANA --- Mytown

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar playing on the work "Lover's Prayer" by Lisha Nandi.
https://soundcloud.com/lisha-nandi-124733328/lovers-prayer
--------------------------------------------------------
When I first listened to Lisha's this work, I was completely fascinated by it. I think the vocals, lyrics, composition, and performance are all excellent, and the balance between them is wonderful.When I suddenly returned to myself, I was holding my Les Paul, and have started recording with it.

The original work released by Lisha can be thought of as a completed "acoustic version".If I think the purpose of adding and releasing my guitar playing to it is to promote and disseminate the existence of that wonderful "acoustic version".

＊If you are practicing playing the guitar, please use it to master the performance of "C # m Pentatonic Scale".I think there are several ways to practice playing the guitar with this song, this time I mainly played and recorded it using the "C # m pentatonic scale".

If the foundation is neglected, there will be no future development. Those who neglect their proficiency in the pentatonic scale and act as if they have mastered not only the pentatonic scale but also the blues scale will most hope that listeners will misunderstand that their guitar playing is good. .. It's a very dangerous adventure.

I eagerly want anyone to get out of that dangerous situation as soon as possible.Any guitar player who hasn't mastered it can't get out of the "beginner". I think.

If you know that it is used in the following representative songs, everyone who has not used it before will surely say "Oh, is that a pentatonic scale?"

The Beatles --Let It Be
This song has different solo performances on the single version and the album version, but it is a guitar solo called "A minor(C major) pentatonic scale textbook" from the time it was released.

Led Zeppelin --Stairway to Heaven
Even in this song, a guitar solo will appear at the end of the song. This is a solo performance using the "A minor Pentatonic Scale", which is a little more difficult than the above.

Eagles --Hotel California
A very famous guitar solo will be developed at the end of this song as well. Since it is a twin lead, it is a more difficult solo performance. The "B minor pentatonic scale" is used.

The guitar playing that I layered on the original sound source is very simple. Some may say it's too simple.However, it doesn't make any sense to crush the sound of vocals and other instruments to make only the sound of the guitar.

There is no guitar solo in this attempt, and I didn't play the chords and tried to accompaniment phrases. This is because it is meaningless unless the listener can easily listen to vocals and other performances. Therefore, I think it is easier to practice the scale using the guitar.

PS
There are quite a few artists I would like to collaborate with someday. Lisha has long been one of the representatives, and I have long waited for the opportunity to come. Recently, I have actually had the opportunity to dramatically improve the collaborative environment. Even with an already completed sound source, it is impossible to completely separate it for each instrument, but now it is possible to separate files into several major parts. 

In this work, even if the volume is set a little louder to maintain the sound quality of the guitar, the vocals are cut out from other parts, so the volume and sound quality of the vocals could be sufficiently maintained. That is one of the major backgrounds that made it possible to release this recording
(I've uploaded a version here that matches the genuine Apple earphones for the iPhone, so  it's a good idea to set up an equalizer for your listening environment).

Lisha approved my this attempt to be published here. I thank her sincerely for her generosity.

This piece is based on the original by Mrs Rhymes introduced above, with my guitar playing overdubbed.
A big thank you to Mrs Rhymes for agreeing to release this recording :)

Some time ago, I needed to do some thinking about my DTM system and was reviewing my music data.  At that time, I suddenly noticed this song by Mrs Rhymes.  About a year ago, I think.  I had a preliminary recording of my guitar to go along with this wonderful piece.  Remembering that, I played it back and listened.  I didn't like my guitar playing, even though it was just a temporary recording for notes.  I don't think the sounds and phrases I used at that time match the original song.  Compared to that, the original song is still great.  So I grabbed my guitar and started recording.  A few hours later, I was in the process of uploading my freshly finished work here.

The key of this song is C#, and I think that what we should be aware of as a performance style is "B♭m/C# pentatonic".
I do not mix tapping, sweeping, or other fancy playing techniques in my guitar playing with this outstanding piece. I tried to keep the accompaniment very simple. This excellent piece, which I picked up as an example this time, will be finished with two things in mind: "B♭m/C# pentatonic". However, in a blues scale song, one song uses four pentatonic forms. Therefore, first of all, I believe that it is very important to be aware of "two things" on a daily basis and to practice guitar playing repeatedly.

And before we understand it in words, what we value most is the encounter with works and artists that we can continue to enjoy playing along with our favorite music as many times as we want, even ten times if necessary. Right?

This recording is a completed work of Wild Christopher's work "Jolene (Ever Find Your Forever Man)" with my guitar playing. "Jolene" is based on "Let Me Know", one of the "Paploviante Open Collab" pieces.
I received warm compliments and words of welcome from both of them. I am very grateful.I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart for including me in their wonderful work.

This work is over 6 minutes long. My guitar playing starts with a low volume and rhythm. About a third of the way through, my guitar starts playing to complement Christopher's great singing.

Below are links to each work.

"Let Me Know" by Paul (one of the "Paploviante Open Collab" pieces)
A few days after the release, he received a number of really excellent works. I was really surprised by the ability of the artists to finish such amazing works in such a short period of time.

Results Offer Open Collaboration Let Me Know(Paploviante)
https://soundcloud.com/paul-racle/sets/results-offer-open

Chord= A ,E
Key = E

After listening to the above works, I realized immediately. Simplifying the scales that form the melody, assuming the case of playing the guitar, it was divided into the case of  Cm/E pentatonic, and the case of  Cm/E and Em/G pentatonic. I thought, ``This is a great exercise for me. For example, putting four songs together on one track, listening to them all in order, and playing the guitar along with each scale is a very useful daily practice. I could imagine that this would be useful not only for myself, but also for most people who are learning to play the guitar.

For example, alternately play the following:
1)Cm/E　Pentatonic scale(Key = E)
2) Cm/E, Em/G Pentatonic scale(Chord = A7,E7)
2) '  Am/C,Cm/E,(Em/G) Pentatonic scale

It's easy to envision it that way, but first, what do I do with the first one? So I started playing guitar while listening to Wild Christopher's "Jolene".
I found it possible to use two chords, A and E7, and finish off with some rock'n'roll backing, but it's too simplistic a way to spice up Christopher's cool and passionate vocals. 

So I took the plunge and tried using the A7 and E7 chords to make a blues rock song. And I was convinced that depending on the way I played, I could proceed without discomfort. An image of the rough blues rock of the early 1970s came to mind. However, I was conscious of keeping the taste of the country blues that was popular before that.

I thought that Wild Christopher's wonderful singing voice would suit slightly rough guitar playing based on precise rhythm composition. A playing style that many great guitarists and predecessors have developed over the decades. I hope that people who come across this piece will want to listen to it again and again :))

Run Away

Run Away (Remix)

Lyrics:
Trying not to trip upon my insecurities..
Refraining from a conditioned place where I used to 'people please'
In you I saw a woman in me I hid from society
To think I had forgotten that it's safe to just be me
You've lit a spark, sunshine in the dark
Shining so bright, lighting up the night

To fall from grace there I land gently on my feet
Where there's no judgement, shame or fear
Your gorgeous energy 
Peeling off the layers from my soul so we can breathe
The water that we carry, long journey to the sea
You've lit a spark, sunshine in the dark
Shining so bright, lighting up the night

I don't need you to save me
Because you understand me
I don't need you to praise me
Just please don't leave me
I want you in my life in whatever way or form

Peeling off the layers from my soul so we can breathe
The water that we carry, long journey to the sea
Spill over me let your heart be free x 5

Heart  Be Free

Lyrics:
There was a halo around her head but now it's too exposed
When she's ignoring who she knows
The chemical feeds what does not belong to me
You'll take what you need, abrasion of reality
Tangled up like a puppet on a string
Please remember an angel should never lose her wings

The snow falls so slowly on the floor
But when it stops the angel starts to thaw
mmm mmm mmm mmm

Floating fast like a dark cloud in the sky
Wait for the rain for when you get too high
Thunder shakes your body and your mind
Lightening strikes another chance to shine
I miss you, I miss you
I know what you've been going through
Your trapped under your own skin
Under the surface I know what lies within

There is a halo around her head and now it's time to go
The halo is now yours to grow

The ending on this version is slightly different from the track on the album.

Lady of Fire Poetry original poem:

Wake the Children Sleeping

We are the ones
who have slept
eyes. open
sleep walking
awake
in daydreams
We weep and wail
to be without the bliss
of not knowing
to exist in the harsh
world but the earth
needs you awake while
you're here
to tread gently upon
the earth
to give yourself time to
unfurl from the
brutality of this modern world
to stop Her destruction
by being mindful
of everything you do
you have arrived at your destiny
Awake child awake

I recommend that anyone learning to play the guitar listen to this piece over and over again, playing the Gm/B♭pentatonic scale in various ways, and trying to find a phrase that you like.

The volume adjustment during mixdown is optimized for the environment when using the earphones that come with the iPhone. If you feel that the volume of the guitar playing in this work is low, please use earphones and check the volume balance of this recording. It seems that earphones other than those that came with the iPhone do not have any problems. When using an Android device and when connecting an audio interface to a PC, I connected inexpensive earphones and confirmed that the guitar volume can be heard at a roughly appropriate balance.

There is another way. I have embedded a SoundCloud player on my blog to introduce my works, but I noticed that this work sounds harder (mid-high tones are clearer) than when played directly in the browser. If the guitar volume seems low or the sound quality sounds cloudy, please open the following and play this recording with the SoundCloud player embedded there.

South Side

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar on the work "Taking It Back feat. IPG" of "Paploviante".
https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/taking-it-back-feat-ipg1

When I first heard this work on the "IPG1" page, I still didn't understand how wonderful it was. I realized that when I heard "Lillithe" make it into a work. I once again admired the musical talent of "Lillithe". I thought there was no room for me to get in there. But that wasn't the end of the story. This is because "Paploviante", a partner of "Lillithe", finished it in another work. The work was also a wonderful finish. As I listened to it many times, one day I suddenly began to wonder, "I think this is blues." I chose a blues three-code that matches the work of "Paploviante". I checked whether the scale derived from it fits the Vocal of "IPG1". It matched exactly. The three chords are introduced below, so if you are practicing playing the guitar, please play the guitar with our recording.Please take this opportunity to check the relationship between the blues chord progression and the blue note scale.
