9. Osmosis

While performing nightly in Waikiki I developed a friendship with the security guard, who was also a guitarist. He gave me recordings of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, which I liked to listen to on the way to the gig. I never actually sat down and analyzed or played along with them, but when I wrote this song some of their stuff oozed out, like Vai’s use of a harmonizer. My ideas of composition and guitar may seem a bit unusual here, but why sound like what you have already heard? Click/Tap for Video.
