    A fantastic performance.  I'm a big fan of classical guitar.  :cheers:

    The guy looks possessed, in a good way. He breaks all the ''rules' for classic guitar -position, posture etc. The way he tunes the guitar mid playing:laugh:. Never seen anything like it, save metal/rock music. He is totally at one with the guitar. Amazing.

    That's a great example of his shorter form solos, as is this one. I would consider this a perfect guitar solo.

     

     

    Another relatively succinct and incredible solo. The tone! Amazing that everyone who listens has a perfect Holdsworth solo, that differ from each other :laugh:.

    New Model Army - Language.
     
    Give me salt, give me sugar, give me what I crave
    A way to see how the animals see
    Give me a story where the good people win at the end
    I want a room with a view over a world on fire
    Never try to second guess the heart’s desires in disarray
    But the words will give us, they’ll give us away
     
    The language of love will bring us love
    The language of war will bring us war
    The way that all the words become true
    The way that all the words become true
    The language of love will bring us love
    The language of war will surely bring us war
    We choose it, we own it, we choose it, we own it
     
     
    Down from the sky they were coming – in this vision of the screaming cacophony of the wild hunt – let them pass, let them go – it would be the worst trip you’ve ever had, because if there’s one thing for sure, it’s that the pursuit of happiness will drive anyone mad. So let them go, careering and screeching through the world with the heads of the guilty on spikes paraded out in front of a sea of waving flags
     
     
    The language of war will bring us war
    The language of fear will bring us fear
    The language of lies will bring us lies
    The language of love will bring us love
    And everything that touches anything makes a sound
    Sometimes all you want to do is scream
    We all had our chances and we know that we blew it
    And so we live with the lie even though we see clean right through it
    And in your beautiful eyes I can see the manifest forming
    It’s the things that you fear the most that you’re going to make happen
     
     
    The language of love will bring us love

    The way that all the words become true
    The language of love will bring us love
    The language of war will surely bring us war
    We choose it, we own it, we choose it, we own it
    We choose it, and we own it

    New album from NMA. Great production, scathing poignant lyrics as expected from them. 

     

     

     

     

    I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong
    I was always straight and honest as the days were always long
    I loved the job, I loved to help the people
    I did nothing wrong, they found me in the morning
    Asleep in a sea of paper, coffee stains and bits of paper
    Failed sums and bits of paper and nothing still resolved
    Tick the boxes only, only ones and zeros
    Only tick the boxes, winners and losers only
    Only right and wrong, innocent or guilty only
    I stare at numbers and stare at the screen
    I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in
    I stare at numbers and stare at the screen
    I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in
    Machines do not lie, machines cannot lie
    The company men arrive, business suits and poker faces
    I offered what I could, but I am under suspicion
    Must be, Somebody knows what’s going on, somebody isn’t saying
    The strategies of money, multiply with others paying
    And everything decided higher up the chain
    I stare at numbers and stare at the screen
    I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in
    I stare at numbers and stare at the screen
    I stare at numbers and stare at the walls closing in
    The circuits, the logic, it follows, it follows, it follows…
     
    That if you like that you’re going to love this
    If you bought that, you’re going to buy this
    If you followed that, you’re going to follow this
    If you agreed with that, you can agree with this
    If you like that you’re going to love this
    If you bought that, you’re going to buy this
    If you swallowed that, you’re going to swallow this
    If you agreed with that, you can agree with this
    And oh, the numbers game and the losers to take the blame
    And the acrid smell of fear, it seeps in everywhere
    I did nothing wrong, I told them in the courtroom
    Now the sound of prison metal, the sound of closing gates
    And worst of all, the sound of footsteps receding.......
     
    Can't understand why NMA are not bigger than they are.

    This is exactly the clip I was coming in here to post. So good.

    I think those who are involved in music it's creation I mean, will appreciate this clip, how it closely resembles the album version. It's a great song too, superb writing and arrangements. Sad to sound so disparagingly, but there are too many flaky fakers into flaky music, Taylor Swift etc.

    Very nice Stephen, great job with the vocal production, you achieved both warmth and clarity....heartfelt message lyrically too.

    Still hearing a hint of The Big O  in your voice which is certainly no bad thing!

     

    Lovely acoustic guitar tone too.

    Thanks for the response Paul. I'll never again do a song like this. It's just too hard to mix. There's so much at stake, as it's bare bones and all exposed. Trying to get the vocals and guitar to sound full, yet right as it's just them, was too much of a pain. I've done lots of other tracks with guitar layers that make the vocals easier to blend for me, that I'll release soon. More rock stuff and not as twee as this, which grates even for me:laugh:. Cheers.
