   About Lorcan Ward
My name is Lorcan Ward and I have being playing guitar for 5 years and 5 months now,its a way of life for me more than a hobbie although I don’t get to play as much as I used to. These songs are old and don’t really reflect my playing ability,I will have new songs recorded in the summer so be sure to check back soon. I’m 19 years old and started guitar when I was in my 2nd year or secondary school at the age of 13,I started off on a nylon/spanish guitar and got my first electric on Christmas 2002,in October 2004 I bought a Washburn Dime 333 and joined my first band "Ethereal",we did some school concerts and played a gig in town,we wrote some material,my song "Guitar solo" is an excerpt from one of the songs we wrote,we broke up in 2006, I bought my BOSS 1600 recording studio in the summer of 2006 and have recorded a lot of tracks on it,the tracks above are some examples, I’m constantly putting up videos on my you-tube,anyway check out the music and drop a comment. I’m always glad to answer any questions you might have on techique/guitar/music/recording/etc

My Guitar videos on:


Luca Turilli guitar solo medley

Guitar Solo:
This is a solo from a song by my old band. I was very influenced by Paul Gilbert,Kirk Hammett,Steve Vai,Jim Hendrix,Joe Satriani and Sam Totman on this one. I used a ton of different scales for this such as,
Penatonics,blues,Major,minor,cromatic and Hybrid scales,
I go further and use the major and minor 3rds/7ths but lets not make it to complicated and leave it at that;)
Hope you enjoy!!!

Frost Shards:
This started off as a Luca Turrili(Rhapsody) tribute,but then I changed the song around and recorded it under this name. It is mainly based around arpeggios and has about 13 key changes in it, i dont know how or why there are so many but thats the way the song wrote itself. The intro riff is based in an eastern scale using micro-tones in parts to give it an exotic sound. Also the traditional Celtic influences are in there at the end. Recording Quality is’nt to great as it’s one of my first recordings but I’m planning on re-recording it with more keyboards as soon as possible.Hopefully in the next week or two

Gargoyles,Angels of Darkness:
This is the Classical guitar intro section of a Rhapsody song. It was written by Luca Turilli and played by Sascha Peath(Heaven’s Gate). I changed it around,added some licks in,some keyboard ideas I had in mind and an alternate ending.

hi!
iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape.
we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try.
but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band...

H. Jackson Brown:
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

kind regards!

hi!
iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape.
we recorded 5 cds in 22 years with 3 different singers.
maybe because of this answers:

Q: How do you tell when your lead singer is at the door?
A: He can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in.

Q: Why do the singers rock left and right while performing on stage?
A: Because it is more difficult to hit a moving target.

Q: How many lead singers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One. He holds the bulb while the world revolves around him.

@all singers: no offense! ;-)
kind regards!
