David
Valdes composition is in the midst of his third instrumental.
I am currently working on what will be my third instrumental album, I
think there will be 10 or 13 songs. The issues are some what different from
what I've been doing until now, has long wanted to do something darker and
genres, with more powerful rhythm guitars. In my job, "Imhotep" I used a 7-string
guitar on several songs and I realized that I really liked, so I decided to
make this new album with a rhythm guitar tuned to Bb for all items. As for
the solos, I'm in the same vein of my previous work, besides I'm trying to
play more Tapping technique and introducing many more tunes in dark and
melodic phrases, perhaps I would say that "not have much guitar solo" and I
mix more guitar riffs and melodies deep, for the moment the material I have
is really cool and dark. I think it still will take to finish and publish it
because I have little time to play, but I imagine it will be ready by the
end of this year, or at least I hope so.
