Neal Schon
Electric World
The Story
Joe Cefalu of Guitar Player Magazine explains, "For nearly three decades, Neal Schon and his guitar have generated an unrelenting lexicon of heartfelt, soul-stirring music. Over the years, the relationship between the two has grown increasingly vital and musically fruitful. On this, his second HIgher Octave release, Neal broadens his musical focus on a global scale and creates a myriad of soundscapes as vastly inspired as they are diverse - welcome to Neal Schon's "Electric World"." On this all-instrumental release, the guitarist powerfully illustrates his ability to paint musical images as vivid as those of any vocalist. Guest musicians include Michael Carabello, Zakir Hussain, Alphonso Johnson, Igor Len, Walfredo Reyes Jr., Steve Smith and Kit Walker. Now, this "Electric World" is yours to explore.
