The Chapman Guitars "Heart of Fire" Competition - Judged by Misha Mansoor and Eddie Kramer

[boscoboys]

Somehow reminds me of Train of Bullets by Joe Sat. Just ma opinion

[saheltaja]

The main theme reminds me of something I can't just put my finger on.. or perhaps it's just so good, that it sounds familiar when in fact it is not. Either way, absolutely beautiful!

[Jammersis]

Guys who are saying he should've won, they were looking for a Bluesy guitarist! No doubt this guy has talent, but he didn't fit the bill. No point getting a first class motorbike when  you can only drive a car

[bensooty1]

Great piece and nice playing.. well done

[minkorrh]

Nice stuff. Definitely shows the theory behind the fingers!

[MarkdreamtheaterMark]

joe satriani ripp off

[bensooty1]

@MarkdreamtheaterMark dont think so....

[MortenFaerestrand]

@bensooty1 hehe, that's hilarious, I'm being occused of being unoriginal by a person calling himself "MarkdreamtheaterMark". It's almost art!:)

[bensooty1]

@MortenFaerestrand i would say it is due to jealousy my friend... i personally love your playing and your version.. great stuff.. cheers

[j0sHoo7]

for all those who are saying that this entry resembles this song or that, you failed to listen to the original licks he put in their. They are so tasty. imo he should have won.

[djangido]

You should've won!

[DrEviscerator666]

Second Place Man, I still think you should had been #1!

[Twiggyay]

Gotta love how Chappers pronounced Færestrand ( ^__^)

[TEOSATRIANI]

summer song joe satriani same notes..:P

[freiture]

Wich guitar is this? Great smooth tone!

[DaShortyJ]

Congrats on getting top 5 (more like top 3 unofficially)...I think you should have won but hey you got mentioned quite a bit for your great playing!

[vanhalen5150jhs]

hey, on american idol the runner up always seems to be the bigger star anyway. not that i really watch that kinda stuff. just saying. lol

[stebbZv]

congratulations with top 5 finalists (or should i say, 2nd place)! i am sure if Chap was looking for someone with more of a solo style of Satch / Eric Johnson, he would of have picked you definitely! but as he was looking for more of a bluesy player, well... you know :) but you did a fantastic job! take care Morten!

[gkliwinski]

you should have won, js

[XandiUrban]

Very satrianish!

[An1m3Watch3r]

aweasome tone,what pedal/amp are you using?

[gtrchris]

Great tone, love it

[DivjakVlada]

[1coco5]

This hot! I really want to learn guitar now.

[strayd0gg]

[Qiang861]

this reminds me of satriani's "Flying In A Blue Dream," but nonetheless you did a good job man!

[roccckkerrr]

in terms of musicality and sticking to the task you are very up there imo, but leonardogzm went way out there with his entry and perhaps all the effort might best you. you should win!

Grandma Mary

[Junkman2000]

I bought your lessons thinking that I was buying your album! Doh! I'm a huge Metheny fan so if I ever decide to learn to play the guitar, at least I have some good stuff to practice with (as if I'll ever be that good!). I played 13 different woodwinds, keyboards and percussion at one time. Now I'm as rusty as a old door nail. lol!

[Tone5DP777]

Beautiful man! Great feel, tone and playing!

[MrDeamon1]

6 dislikes, the ones who can't play it, lo fin l, nice job, very smooth

Was a nice comp! Hope to see the results soon and you at least in the top 5 :D

[castorman82]

[Fuhgawz102]

You remind me of Shawn Lane a lot. love the tone!

[ben10sk8r]

JEESUS CHRIST!! hope you win man!



[xmusicfeverx]

Awesome job man! What program are most people using to record their part over the downloaded backing track? I'd love to know so I can hopefully join the next competition. Thanks.

[Quitarstudent]

" Summer song " backing track = happy satch mood or at least very similar, great playing

[Duffy370]

I could see this winning, easily

[DrEviscerator666]

Amazing Man! Great Feel Great Technic! Hope You Win!

[DC9990]

Why do parts of this remind me of Dragonball Z lol

[sapandjilo]

This is very nice...Satch-like...and I like Satch, rock on!

[axeofcreation]

nice work. good luck!

[iamajibber]

this was absolutely awesome man!

[aeropagitica]

This should definitely be in the top three - the melody was nice and tasteful all the way through!

[djangido]

Hey Morten!

I think your entry is the best one I saw so far browsing the other contestants. Could you check out mine too?

I'd also like to ask you something.

What do you think about 7-string guitars? You never talk about them and would like to know your opinion.

[supergroove1979]

great playing and tone mate!

[Maladaahn]

Awesome!

[wesmatron]

Your playing has an exciting quality that I can't quite put my finger on that elevates you far above the norm. I've seen a million sweep-picking-scale-noodlers who have bags of skill, but you shame most of them with your choice of notes. Love it.

[sasanoha999]

nice sound～!!　I like it...♪

[lam6gun]

Email me the album that tune comes out on, and I'm buyin. Seriously. Great mechanics, but much more than that...incredible emotion, feel, and unique style. It's all your own!

[VSpacePatrol]

niceeeeeeeee

[hallbergjonatan]

You're great! You're a big insperation to us all, you have a really great and self-confident tone. You're great!

[BuddLightbrain]

Oh yeah! Thanks for the invitation,  fabulous track!

[BuddLightbrain]

Sounds terrific! what is the software used to lay the tracks? Sort of track to listen to at night with the hood down blasting up the M1. Fab!

[JiggleBill]

Reminds of Glasgow Kiss by John Petrucci. Awesome!

[Aymanband]

great entry Morten! The tambourine was the missing sound :)

superb

Cheers from France

[jazzbytres]

Great job, thanks for the invitacion

[ivanporrastrenado]

i like your feeling budy!!!But i would like to know what pick ups you are using for this, please! ????????????Bye

[MortenFaerestrand]

@ivanporrastrenado I'm using a Red Bear, real thick one. I have a complete list of all the grae I use on my web page.

[MatthijsBudding]

@MortenFaerestrand I think you mean picks, he asked pick-ups. But redbear are great picks;-).

[MortenFaerestrand]

@MatthijsBudding ooops.. yes, of course;) Well, I have no idea what the pick-ips are, it's what came with the guitar originally. I would like to know though, because they are really great!

[n64wilbert]

@MortenFaerestrand Hell yea!!!!

[holdsworth1970]

Yeah,I likemixolydian,too. You are great player ^_^

[StarBlues101]

Excellent Guitar Work!

[GuitarsAmSuck]

very nicely played, but too much like "if I could fly" for me. great nonetheless! loved the tambourine :-)

[FredtheShred]

My favourite entry so far! Hopefully, this also serves to show that a predominantly jazz / fusion oriented player such as Morten doesn't necessarily have some sort of tunnel vision when it comes to approaching more direct progressions. :)

[MortenFaerestrand]

@FredtheShred Thank you, glad to hear that!

[Satry5470]

Great work!!!! I love this sound and the way you play!!!! Don't stop playing! ;)

[MortenFaerestrand]

@Satry5470 I won't;)

[MortenFaerestrand]

@lewisfromaustralia Thank you!

[Fr3derick]

Excellent!

Grandma mary

[MortenFaerestrand]

[EnmaDarei]

Well, what can I said that hasn't been said already, that was pretty damn cool!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@EnmaDarei hehe, thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to comment even though! :-)

[gusporot]

wow, great sound, you make me remember Eric Johnson. Nice very nice!!!

[MortenFaerestrand]

@gusporot funny, you're not the only one saying that! something about the dominant "pentatonics" maybe? Anyway, it's of course very flattering!!:-)

[MortenFaerestrand]

[Parethas]
