Staffan Svahn & Mark Galloway - My Friend and I - Original US / Italy Collaboration

This was a fun project.

I asked my You Tube friend Mark Galloway from Oklahoma, USA to do a collaboration with me. I sent him an original fingerstyle guitar piece and asked him to add some tracks to it.
The result is what you hear here. It truly exceeded all my expectations! Mark added so much creative power to it!
He added percussion, bass and several electric guitar tracks. While his electric tone is similar to David Gilmore's, the playing sounds more like him and his electric influences. It has more of a Santana meets Jeff Beck feel to it.
After he finished adding his tracks he spent considerable time working on the mix. He has preserved the feel of the original track while adding movement and emotion to the finished product. I am very pleased with the final mix.
My friend and I hope all of you out there like it!

Mark has recorded a number of great original tunes and many fantastic covers. Treat yourself to his channel at www.youtube.com/user/markgalloway

My guitar is in standard tuning with a Spider Capo blocking 5th, 3rd and 1st string at 2nd fret.

@Bluebuthappy182 Indeed...IT feels a bit like Gilmour tone and bending style...

[Bluebuthappy182]

that was pretty good guys. As was mentioned before I heard a fair bit of pink floyd in the lead guitar. Very nice.
