StradaLunii's style expresses a lot on melody build up and articulate song arrangement and progression.
This is a 100% instrumental, no spoken words or whatsoever, lots of solos, riffs of a mixed genre.
"Very surprising intro... you really had me fooled there.
What follows after this is a very original moody song, built around an excellent lead guitar. There is a lot going on but you manage to keep things sounding relaxed, it's complex playing but still sounding easy!
Wow... what a sound and performance! Sounds a little bit like Jeff Beck... those overtones... incredible!
Nice composition...And a surprising intro demands a surprising outro...well, it's there also! Great song, very original, my compliments"
"This was so cool...Nice movements....Really great song!!...Really great transitions, the guitar playing is superb!!...This rules!!Great song!!"
"A lot different composition from you.... it's softer in the soft parts, really a sweet ballad kind of feel. The energy is great when you kick it in. This is a fitting one for dedication, one of your best I think. The soloing is outstanding, not just technique-wise... it really has a good feel to it. great stuff and I love all those changes, perfect outro"
A self taught musician/home musician, its more by heart than theoritically exposed. SL started playing with the school brass band, hammering the snare side drums, turned to full drums with a makeshift five piece band during the same time, gain interest in playing the bass after listening faithfully to Iron Maiden. Discovered that cant play much alone with either bass or drums, and got hooked with the guitar in the late teens. Been with some college bands, playing all either bass, guitar or drums. Currently stuck with home based recording and playing, guitar based instrumentalist.
