Steemit Music League Challenge S2:R8 - Original Music by Darren Claxton - Nesecito La Playa -
Nesecito La Playa - 'I need the beach' is my musical offering for the Steemit Music League Challenge S2:R8 Latin Music. I'm loving the challenges here which really gets my many musical juices flowing, because I don't just write vocal songs you know? I have other sides to my creativity.
I wrote this track a while back with images of Latin America and the beaches of Mexico and Brazil.
I'm a huge fan of Santana's early music like the classic album 'Abraxas' which kind of inspired this instrumental of mine.
When I'm not singing, I like to use the lead guitar to convey my feelings.
I hope you enjoy this Latin sounding tune for this week's contest.
Thanks to @chiefmappster and @prc for continously supporting us musicians here. Without kind people like yourselves, our community just wouldn't be the same.
Cheers
Darren

This is some insane guitar playing you display here @darrenclaxton! Highlighted on our Daily DSound & DTube Discoveries :-)
Thanks for the compliment and review of my instrumental 'Necesito La Playa'
It was an improvised composition off the back of that opening guitar riff... I then hooked up the drum kit and played along to the bass line. I layered it as I went along using only 6 tracks on my Porta-Studio.
Cheers again!
Darren
Well, it worked out perfectly man. Thanks for sharing this awesomeness with the community :-)
Cheers!
Cheers man! I love playing lead guitar!
Yeah the Santana trademark sustain coming in at 1:20 sets it all off. Nice picking at the end, too!
Cheers for dropping by for a listen mate!
Appreciate it!
Darren
Sure, any time! I'll catch you on SMA - Radio this Wednesday, I presume.
powerful guitar playing, yo tambien necesito la playa ahora :D Love the mid track acoustic plateau . Superb.
@davenavarro Cheers mate!
It was fun creating this track!
I was going to edit out the acoustic transition but thought I'd leave it.
Thanks
Darren
O myyyyyyy what an epic entry.
This guitar is out of this world especially that segment starting at 1:17, Santana would be proud.
And love the progression around 1:58-2:19 yessssssss.
And 2:44 o myyyyyyyyy melting our faces with that guitarrrrrr.
Love how you let us catch our breath around 3:26 and hit us with soulful guitar. And then take us on a ride with that Santana-esque guitar and then slow down again around 4:45. What a way to keep the audience involved and fully in the moment.
Appreciating you taking the time and effort to create this high-quality 7+ minutes of beautiful audio. Medicine for the ears and soul right here.
Hey @chiefmappster
Wow man! You really did listen intently man!
It was a pleasure creating this piece for your Latin Music theme contest.
I hope I captures the essence of that Latin vibe.
Cheers again for your review.
Thanks
Darren

Cheers
