WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR / SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW - Xmas Special

This is an Xmas special. Wish Upon A Star was originally requested by sunafukinshin-sama. So here it is. This is for all the people who are alone at this time of year and wish upon a star in vain. And never get to see over the rainbow.

Wish Upon A Star is influenced by Takanaka's version. But I decided to mix in Over The Rainbow because they are similar old fashioned sounding songs to me and it just fit somehow. The Wish Upon A Star parts have Takanaka sounding volume swell licks and the Over The Rainbow part has Jefferey sounding licks. So it's kinda like a Takanaka / Jeff Beck combo but kinda something new too. Anyway it's just me and myself here. Guitar on guitar using the volume swells for orchestral effect.

SPECIAL THANKS - justAaron - for the excellent video backgrounds / motion graphics.

This is a video of one of my demos. I thought i'd edit together clips from here and there into videos to go along with some of my demos, rather than just the sound. Since people often have a limited attention span, thus a video may lure them into listening for longer.

The track is WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR / SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW combined together.
