ABOUT this guitar solo:

This melodic, emotional guitar solo is called 'Lost In Thought, ' as it is inspired by how the mind races, brings ideas, and makes us ponder possibilities. The track is primarily a 3chord groove (Am7, Em7, Fmaj7) that builds in intensity and groove during the track. Although it's a slow track, it's definitely not a ballad!

I play the intro with my Gibson ES335 (with effects from the eventide H9 and the XLN Retro Color), the solo with my Suhr guitar.

While the atmospheric groove builds, the emotional solo starts with long notes that follow the chords. Part B is a short break, where I switch to the bridge pickup and add a fuzz (Fractal Audio Systems AX8). This was also the only good place to reverse the tremolo bar on my guitar for an effect that would follow later. Part C is the climax of the track and builds further on the intro and part A chords. After a fancy tapping lick ;), Part D serves as a postchorus where the strings bring the track home. Part E is a short outro with piano and erhu, a beautiful sound.
