"Currently I have 4 guitars .. my new Ibanez Rg 2627ZE with active EMG pickups, two of them PGM301 customized and customized 1527 Rg. Recently I changed my pick ups in some of them, I have always used Dimarzio Tone Zone, but from now use Dimarzio D-Sonic, one of the best discoveries I have made on this picks because it gives me the sound is what I always wanted.

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.
