Guitar virtuoso Angel Vivaldi has a new music video out for his cover of Joe Satriani’s “Crystal Planet”, which features a guest appearance by As Blood Runs Black guitarist Dan Sugarman. Vivaldi offers on his take of Satch’s track:
“The original has practically no rhythm guitar in it at all. A lot of those progressions were fantastic but were often overlooked by, of course, Joe’s stellar playing. My goal was to make the song groovier and exaggerate the leads with different dynamics/harmonies. I’ve always admired Joe’s ability to say a lot with the simplest phrasing. I wanted to honor these melodies with more dramatic, sometimes even aggressive variations to compliment the feel of the rhythm guitars.”
The song is available now as a digital single on iTunes and Bandcamp.
