The much-anticipated release of Sam Yelda's "My Revelation" is finally here.
Sam's original compositions are influenced by classical masters such as J.S.Bach and Tarrega.
His melding of improvisational skills, classic harmony and complex orchestration counterpoints make this recording a unique listening experience.
Sam's mastery of picking is evident as he effortlessly shifts clean classical lines to full out Neo-Classical shredding.
"My Revelation" displays Sam's varied musical sensibilities ranging from romantic atmosphere to new world.
The haunting melody of Gypsy Sketches for example takes listeners on a musical ride to days long past punctuated by his precise guitar mastery.
All of Sam's life experience musical and otherwise are captured in this debut CD.
Fans should take note that Sam also played all the stringed instruments on the CD such as mandolin, bass guitar as well as the Roland GR1 and GR20 guitar synthesizer.

Sam Yelda - My Revelation
author: Mikolaj Furmankiewicz
If you'd like to stroll along the Palace of Versailles, meet Louis XIV himself and feel the fragrance of flowers there, you are spot-on! The ideal atmosphere was ensured by Canadian guitarist, who absolutely can't be accused of cloning neoclassical masters. There are mid-tempos superiority on the album, but I noticed some moments of guitar "galloping". The greatest advantage of "My Revelation" is its diversity. Aside from neoclassicism, here we find progression, shredding, improvised parts, unconventional acoustic interpolations (by guitar and mandolin), references to Gypsy music and classical output of Tarrega and Segovia. Mark DeBlock appears in "The Storm" with his interesting vocal, making me think of the likes of Goran Edman and Rob Rock. Sam Yelda showed himself as a great specialist on staccato technique and a purist, polishing each composition to the smallest detail. I do recommend his album especially to Katsu Ohta's fans.

Strong arrangements, solid production
author: Edward Acorah
This album, compared to other Neo-classical artists I have listened to, has a very polished sound. The songrwiting has obviously involved some serious effort. This CD is not just some bed tracks slapped together with some beligerant shredding. My Revelation has been well composed, well arranged, and well produced. The music and the guitar performance compliment each other nicely. It's clear to me that Sam has put some major effort into every nook and cranny of these tracks. I'm looking forward to his next CD already.
