Shadows and Light - Matthew McGhee - Electronic Music

[beahipster]

This sounds very similar to God is an Astronaut. Have you ever listened to them? I also think alot of your guitar stuff sounds like Explosions in the Sky, except they have 2-3 guitarists and you play it all by yourself :D

Keep doing what you're doing man. I really enjoy everything you've put out so far.

[savagechefdaze]

Nasty as always. Keep it up my friend!

[darkshyne69]

How could anyone possible hate something so beautiful and amazing its pure brilliance and talent plz do more like this as well

[redSG]

Definitely a good electronic piece. You have loads of talent.

[Tears0faShadow]

I think you have captured the title 'Shadows and Light' near perfectly! The way you combine the guitar and piano is brilliant, just keep going with it, am dying to hear more!

[electrolu]

I'm sorry man... I need to sub to your channel. x) beautiful tones around here. really nice! thank you for sharing your music!

[zfeckman2011]

wow man that is actually so good for a first try that music is supposed to bloody impossible to do!!

[arfurlife]

Nice effort fella. You have talent and musicallity.

[HellsGateProductions]

At first I was impressed with the soundscape. Then my jaw hit the floor. Good god, man, this is just beautiful. You are truly an amazing musician.

[faerlocks]

time to run is much much better!!

[straycatsgp]

You keep amazing me...first with the virtuoso 8-string work, and now this!

When will you be releasing a CD with your work? I love it and you are an inspiration for me to venture outside my comfort zone!

[TiimK]

If you haven't, I think you should do an album, I like your music better than most other instrumentalists out there

[StupidHatMatt]

@TiimK Thanks alot man, I released my stuff on iTunes a month or so ago. Check it out if you like :)

[LOTAGuitar]

you have inspired me to do so much more with my music. i have the same 8 string as u but black just by coincidence too lol

Very cool. Fun to see you branch out so much.

[MikaelAvsky666]

Didn't see this coming, but nonetheless awesome!

[Sunfish737]

your first work is nice like other your works. So I think you have the ability and gift from God.

Thanks from Wild Russia!!!

[StupidHatMatt]

@Sunfish737 Thank you my friend, it's truly a blessing the day we met on YouTube. Take care this holiday season :)

[Gecc]

Simply put: AWESOME!

[SownJeeves]

Even though its electronic it still feels organic and fuckin awesome. Great job bro.

[matotuHELL]

good work

[PrincessLilyMUSIC]

The sound you picked for the synth entering at 0:23 really fits, and adds a lot to the atmosphere aswell as the other background synth.

The piano adds a lot of beauty to the atmosphere. Really nice ^^

The sound entering at 2:12(I think it´s the bass)sounds very cool! It fits the tune a lot.

The guitar entering at 2:03 plays a wonderful melody, but I don´t know if I had picked a nylon guitar(as I think it is).Steel instead?

As 'fateuser' said: " Good music for chillin' " ^^

Really beautiful tune!

[funghighlsd25records]

dude youve got to rename the song. as JONI MITCHELL already used the name shadows and light its a name of the title cut and album ,, check it out ..might like it..

[sturm6574]

Wow - beautiful!

[bobthedrummaker]

Very good job, Matt! I liked the sound texture and arrangement.

[williheckaslike]

This is Excellent whether its your first, of sixty first Go at electronic music ! ~ Well done, i enjoyed it ~ All the very best, Geoff

[Beriol9]

Are you kidding me?? Is this your first song of this kind? It's freaking great, I loved it, I wish I could make something like this one day!

[donwhitley]

Awesome music, Matt...very tasteful and to the point. I love your stuff...you're a great song-writer and I hope it's bringing you success. If you get a chance, check out my Hendrix cover video that I just recorded...let me know what you think

[JacoTheSkunk]

Kind of reminds me of those interlude tracks that Linkin Park used to put on their CDs (like, back in the days of Hybrid Theory and Meteora, back before they sucked hog). I really dig the first part - it's very soothing, yet spooky at the same time. For future tracks like this, you might try keeping some similarity/consistency (like, a common sound or riff) throughout the whole song, and really build it up to a climax. You're well on your way man. Keep up the great work!

[TheFruityLoopFactory]

This is awesome! Different, but awesome!

[apollonas70]

Excellent !!!

[loowood2]

Makes perfect musical sence to me. I like it. More please. Maximum Respect

[Flargenyargen]

Not at all what I would have expected when I found your channel and subscribed. But this was a pleasant surprise. Nice work! It seems I won't care what style of music you're making, it's all dripping with heart.

[OZITOMAE]

have to say, please stick with your awesome rock stuff

[joshtits]

Impressive! not the typical Stupid Hat Matt but I'm into this for sure please bring us more! BTW expensive software you got there :) hehe

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

Nice

[mcrfreak94]

You're so talented.

[TheTinapino]

perfect title. that's what the song feels like.

[saurimotox]

Awesome. Nice and slow

[OfficialM8Music]

genius man! Though it might differ, I really like it! I hope it won't be the last electronic one!

[dood210]

if you live in denver you have a spot in my band, where are you?

[TheNotEverything]

Not the sort of thing I was expecting, but it has the same feeling as most other things that I've seen of your. Whenever I did eletronic type stuff it didn't have the same feeling as what I could do on guitar. Very good work. Envious of people who can put so many different instruments together and still sounds good. I usually make a mess of a song when I get past 4 different intruments in a song.

[Chrisleftyguitar]

hey man this sounds really good, very spacey and relaxing, awesome song!

[emptysoul189]

maaaan this is really good. it brings warmness to the soul and your not like every other musician. You play with pure emotions and pride. so well done!

[TheAsclepius]

Smooth song bro, you should consider submitting this to the sirius xm channel "Chill".

[fffreak007]

Amazing :3

[jdems345]

I usually don't like electronica but this actually had some melody and thought put into it, instead of just smashing buttons to make a "wah wah" sound like most I've heard haha. All your music is great, keep it up.

[Darksteelturilli]

Excelente, love it.

[rafalej]

hey man... all your songs are amazing and this is great.. someones are part of my love story.. thanks¡¡

[platinum10000]

wow this new song is amazing, make others like this one!

[platinum10000]

wow this new song is amazing, make others like this one!

[IsaacJ0901]

Why is all of your music so good? It's so unfair I wish I could write music as amazing as this. I love this song and all of your other songs they sounds awesome.

[StupidHatMatt]

@IsaacJ0901 Thanks so much man! I was hoping people wouldn't hate this one but it felt right to write this song.

[dood210]

good job! I am old fashioned and a drummer.... I don't appeal to electric drum's because all they require is pushing a button. For people that don't play drum's drum machines are cool but since i have worked all my life at working all limbs and my voice at the same time I think the discipline in that suits me fine! I absolutely respect any work that involves music! Rap stinks beyond belief!

[StupidHatMatt]

@dood210 Hey thanks, I understand completely as I play a little (very little) drums along with other instruments. But... there is something appealing with this genre and I thought I would give it a try. All respect to you and your craft.

[fateuser]

THAT IS AWESOME! Good music for chillin'

[StupidHatMatt]

@fateuser Haha, thanks again!

[EpicFailSongs]

Sounds really great. Very relaxing, as mentioned before. I also liked this elastic feeling this song has :P

[StupidHatMatt]

@EpicFailSongs I appreciate it very much

[Maxi11able]

WOW VERY GOOD BROTHER :D

[StupidHatMatt]

@Maxi11able Thanks dude!

[LipoLionHeart]

It's very relaxing. I loved it!

[StupidHatMatt]

@LipoLionHeart Thank you :)

[redxile666]

Wow, this is surprisingly good. I'm not a huge fan of electronic music (I don't like it, but I don't hate it), but this is awesome! Keep up the great music!

P.S. - I love the background picture, where did you get it? Or did you do it yourself?

[StupidHatMatt]

@redxile666 Thanks man, I took a stock picture off the net and put an effect on it. I'm glad you like it, it's a little out of my comfort zone to write like this.
