Welcome to “Symphonic Guitars” podcast#9 – The “Marching In” Sneak Preview Edition! Today’s featured tracks are a brief introduction to my upcoming Independent CD release “Marching In - A tribute to the March King” John Philip Sousa. In keeping with the spirit of the 4th of July, I thought it would be fun to share these tracks with you while they are still in their ‘rough mix’ status and give you a quick glimpse into my recording project which has a scheduled release date of Dec 07’! For those of you not familiar with my “Symphonic Guitars” concept, what I like to do is transpose and transcribe Orchestral Scores to fit the guitars tonal range, layering guitar tracks creating a massive electric guitar "Wall of Sound". First up is “The Stars and Stripes Forever” This most famous march was composed by John Philip Sousa on Christmas Day, 1896. This was a grand undertaking in my development while learning about home recording. 4 weeks later and nearly 370 multi-track overdubs... I can proudly say "have a listen"! Then after that is the John Philip Sousa arrangement of "The Star Spangled Banner" circa 1892 which was written and performed at the Chicago Worlds Fair.... At any given point in the song you will be hearing a culmination of at least 70 tracks of guitar..! Both tracks feature Professional drummer extraordinaire "Rick Shlosser" who helped me along in the studio! I am also proud to give a VERY SPECIAL Thank You to Visual Sound, GHS/Rocktron, Peterson Tuners and Godin Guitars for believing in me as an artist!!
