Album Review
Pop Music Ranger
Reviewed 2009-05-16
Classical-style guitar soloist using nylon strings and flamenco strums.
Two cover tunes are my highlights (M.J.'s 'Thriller' and the Beatles). and #19
Review by "Ranger" Rick Dickow May 2009
#1 * Cue to 20 Seconds and use for a 1 minute instrumental background
#2 * pretty minor chords make you feel discontent
#3 * dancing across fretboard
#4 * strumming melodic/catchy/cheesy percussive strumming- sounds gameshow
#5 * shorter uptempo strumming
#6 ** major and minor chords uptempo
#7 * on and muffle trick on latin melody plus hot dogging (showing off)
#8 ** dynamic uptempo strumming latin flamenoclassical
#9 Brief Thriller intro
#10 *** Thriller like you've never heard it before or try the Beatles track 18
#11*Like Tim Reynolds solo w/Dave Mathews. Jam, but not catchy + long
#12 ** More repetitive/catchy
#13 Voice Intro for next track
#14 * slow Traditional Japanese Folk Song w/voice intro beautiful melodies and simple for a change
#15 ** Pleasing chords could use a vocal :-( dynamic volumes
#16 ** strumming and plucking and percussive sounds and showing off. A good representation of this album, plus it's short and sweet.
#17 Voice intro how youtube changed his life
#18 *** Blues riffs become classical riffs and strumming flamenco style chords = the Beatles come alive. Best song, & it's good, but not original, and it's 6min long
#19 *** Alive & uptempo. Showcases versatility. Summarizes well, and original!
#20 ** good wrap up slower and driven by emotion
