Gonçalo Pereira - Nenufares Cintilantes


Found this original guitar improvisation by Gonçalo Pereira, a Portuguese guitar virtuoso. The title is Nenufares Cintilantes (Google translation: "Sparkling Water Lily", not sure how accurate it is tho).

I really hope Gonçalo Pereira has recorded a studio version of this melodic guitar music, which I couldn't find further info on the internet, it's just so amazing! I'm not gonna talk about his guitar skills and techniques, no one's gonna question about that.

The elements that made this improvised instrumental music sound amazing are his musical vocabularies, and great sense of music, the other thing that I'm not sure is that my guitarist friend said his "big hand" is part of his great music creations because it can stretch so wide to play something impossible to be done by guitarists who have relatively smaller hands... hmm......

Enjoy~

Steve Vai - Being With You (In Paris)

It's Christmas~ and I wish I were in Paris (nope, I've never been to Paris) now listening to this sweet waltz music by guitar great Steve Vai, imagining myself walking down some Parisian streets or sitting in some quaint cafe with someone "special" :-)

*From Steve Vai's live album "Alive In An Ultra World (2001), featuring Scott Palacios on Accordian, and John Pustai on narration.

Merry Christmas!!

I'd like to take this chance to wish everyone in this world a very joyous, peaceful Christmas & New Year.

And not forgetting about a daily dose of feel good music on this Christmas Eve:
This is not your typical Christmas music, it's Steve Vai's jazzy rock version of "Christmas Time Is Here"~
(From Steve Vai's "The 7th Song" album & Merry Axemas: A Guitar Christmas compilation)
