Babaw as it sounds, Teddy Diaz's solo on "Enveloped Ideas". I said...hey...I can do this...and everything else was history.
i was about to post my reply and itong song na to ang ilalagay ko. you're right, simple ang guitar solo sa song na enveloped ideas pero timeless ang dating. that song led me to learn all the songs of the first 2 albums of the dawn (the dawn and i stand with you).
the late teddy diaz made such a huge impact in my guitar playing and here are the rest of his songs na im proud to say na up to this day na i can play note for note:
- i stand with you - pinaka favorite kong guitar solo in a song, ever! nagku-kwento yung lines ni teddy... hanep ang timpla ng delay. made me think na parang he gave his all in to this song before he passed away.
- wish you were here - progressive ang bagsakan ng the dawn sa song nato, lumabas ang RUSH influence nila.
- susi - listen to the guitar solo and you'll hear teddy's lines and tone are almost violin-like and classical.
- mad game - A-G-F-E lang ang chord progression sa buong song but the solo's great din.
- dreams - dahil sa song na to na realize ko dati na pwede ka palang gumawa ng adlib na lihis sa chord progression sa body ng song. great lines and this influenced me sa tipla at set-up ng distortion, chorus/flanger and delay.
so guys, how about a tribute to teddy diaz jam in the future?
