Illuminate by Sarah Longfield

Illuminate by Sarah Longfield off her latest release Collapse//Expand :)

[@sushovanshrestha1802]

She just dances around the fretboards man! The melody is S-I-C-K!! P.S.- and the vocals too

[@antondhondt9851]

I liked new Sarah's trend - moving from just metal to ethereal progressive fusion and "Eric Johnson meets Autumn Grey Solace"-style. Thumb up!

[@ecscottindiana]

autumn's grey solace gets an unqualified upvote from me

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Simply wonderful composition!

[@SarahLongfield]

SpectreSoundStudios Thanks Glenn!! 😄

[@atlashorne5655]

Sarah, as a dude whom'st plays guitar decently, you are among my favorites and a huge influence. Love the sound you have. Ignore the videos on my page; I'm not great in those, and they don't represent my personal tastes. You rule!

[@joeblow2221]

SpectreSoundStudios Really. Fuck you're hopeless. So why is it wonderful ? Shes the same as you. Trapped in a box you can't get out of.

[@CoTeCiOtm]

joe blow dude, what's your fucking problem?

[@joeblow2221]

CoTeCiOtm You're the one telling the story.

[@damarilawrence9330]

Vocals illuminating the soundscape like the golden rays of a mornin sunrise...

[@jongomm]

I need a lesson.

[@SarahLongfield]

WHAT no way! I need a lesson! You’re incredible! 😱

[@CarlosNBvs5]

You are both incredible, and I guess this calls for a collaboration between you, guys! We would love it :-D Sarah I learned about recently, while Jon I've known for a few years now, and I even had the chance to see live weeks ago in Nuremberg and go nuts. You are both incredibly inspiring, keep it up!!

[@fredlong1732]

Jon...your marriage of music and percussion is done in a most unique and pleasing way. Lovely ear candy.

[@rickenbacker40011]

Sarah Could you play the secret of learning to fly??

[@idabthereforeiam7479]

@@SarahLongfield you mean fuck you Glenn. 🤣

[@chrisadams628]

Beautiful song by a beautiful soul

[@polyrhythmatics]

This is such a nice bridge between old school prog and contemporary prog metal. Salute!

[@carlosjtorotorres5451]

WOW!!! Amazing Music Sarah; and the fact that you added some vocals to this song makes it more enjoyable to listen, proving that 8 string guitar isn't just for extreme Metal Keep up the good work

[@sryburn641]

Sarah. This is a beautiful tapestry. Thank you so much.

[@flixization]

I love all her music, but this song is my favorite. That part at 2:17 gets stuck in my head in the best way.

[@rva]

Magical fingers. Stan this queen

[@lilybaydoun2804]

My God Sarah is so pretty and talented that she makes me jealous

[@ssj4broly974]

Got almost 2 minutes in, I was loving it, but then thought "I miss her singing voice" I was pleasantly surprised :D

[@BraderGeoYT]

I'm a simple man, I see new music video of Sarah, I hit automatically HIT the Like!

[@Trolldyr]

Came home drunk and thought about browsing on social media and hearing some nice music in the background. Thought about listening to some of your songs. Started this video. Couldn't stop to be completely mesmericed about the way you play and feel this music.

[@GHRiz]

One of the nicest things that Adam Neely ever did for me was to include 8 seconds of you in his 2018 NAMM video, by which I came to discover the wonder of your incredible playing. 8 seconds was all it took and I'm a fan for life. Please keep making this amazing art.

[@PrestonSmithsMusic]

Some friends told me that you are one of the folks coming to my hometown for a show! July 30th! I will be there! Always an inspiration.

[@Edgeof666]

Lush and very serene. Beautiful song, thank you!

[@DerekWiedenheft]

Greatest female guitarist ever hands down

[@Raphael.6]

Your talent amazes me! If tosin abasi, for some reason, couldn't play in a show you could easily replace him... Sorry for my english! Love and respect from Brazil!

[@avjake]

Totally love her sense of melody and harmonic interplay. Looking forward to hearing much more.

[@INDAmedia]

Perfect soundtrack for a space trip! What an exceptional artist.

[@elicalalang-lacroix8673]

This song is so good! The voice blended so well with the feel, and the guitar was incredible as always

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

I'm always just plain wowed by the music you put out there...

[@sidaster2675]

Hi from Saint Petersburg, Russia :) beautiful performance, beautuful Sarah, just as always :)

[@kamallochanbaishya3028]

The tapping monster. She plays the guitar and makes it look so simple but it's very difficult. Thank you Ma'am. Really amazing skills and Composition.

[@StephanieSante]

Fabulous creative spirit. Well done Sarah.

[@kolbykauffman4180]

Sarah owns the monopoly on atmospheric tapping and scales, as far as I'm concerned. And as a guitarist myself, I just LOVE coming to her pieces for inspiration and the good vibes. Heck of a good job! :)

[@SarahLongfield]

Kolby Kauffman 💕

[@GuitarsRockForever]

Indeed she does. I'm more of metal head, but I love her play.

[@91HuNt3rxXx]

The vocals are a marvelous touch, very pleasant and fun song.

[@xragexproblem4817]

It was an awesome honor to see you live at irving plaza opening for wintersun

[@richardt.c.nelmes7254]

Out of all artists, composers, ensembles, genres and musical eras, I can't honestly think of anybody whose work I look forward to, and being immersed in, more than yours. Thank you for enduring.

[@PinoyGuitaristDad]

Great piece it was a wonderful adventure within a song...

[@TheNeokiller666]

[@MrMetalchuy]

[@AriKoinuma]

Man, the music was already amazing but when the vocals came at the climax it just sent it over the top! Really well done.

[@juniorpavon]

Beautiful composition, very powerful.

Bravo Sarah ! et merci pour ce moment "illuminé", ça fait plaisir d'entendre de la guitare huit cordes, merveilleux instrument, hors de son registre métal extrême habituel.

[@sirfred3211]

You are so great - thanks from Sweden!!!

[@zebulonswearingen1593]

This is a breathtaking masterpiece of modern sound performed by you, who are a beautiful, visually graceful, stunning woman. I am thoroughly impressed. I have subscribed. I have been considering it for a bit. I also heard another song of yours, twice. And another one, once.

[@carlosbell1132]

Wow besides that the song is amazing, you really have an eye for the visuals your music needs. Your dress looks amazing on you, fits perfectly to your guitar and your tattoo and it blends perfectly with the lights. You are a true artist. Thanks for sharing your gift :)

[@mr.meeseeks6090]

This song just made my day, thank you very much.

[@VortexBunche]

Superb as always. Outstanding musicianship and a real mood piece. ALL HAIL LONGFIELD!!!

[@franku2011]

[@ripper9679]

Hey Sarah, I don't even know what kinda genre to put your pieces in but I hope you continue to make these unique pieces! Loved it.

[@andyje]

Awesome....hope to see more

[@tylerwoolstenhulme6756]

Absolutely incredible work as always. Watching your videos always makes me set my own bar higher and aspire to be able to play as well as you do

[@geoffpowell3657]

I love this track

[@mafanentertainment]

Where i'd been on my life?? You're back! Gosh now it's chinese theme or what? Oh my god to many question in my head.. Just how amazing you are.. Keep on the track sarah..

[@Steedonline]

Just brilliant, period.

[@LeandroOlavarria]

[@uddipansarkar9629]

Amazingly amazing!!!! One of the best....

[@josemariamartinez1833]

I missed you. Your style is very fresh. I like it so much

[@jaxxax982]

Awesome ghost bc vibes toward the mid to end. Great stuff Sarah!

[@thesilentmordecai]

Love your sound!!!

[@musicocratsplay1368]

Beautiful!

[@Hauntedasylum666]

She's so amazing.

[@SiddharthSrivastava121]

superb playing

[@casperchristiansen2458]

Her slap guitar music should be in a game. It really reminds me of this movie I once saw called "Jesus of Montréal". Sarah, if you're reading this, find a game to put your music in! It would be sweeeeet!

[@notrombones5041]

Good composition. Technique is all in service of the piece.

[@dorukuysal8372]

Sarah for president!!!!

[@ecxpac]

I said it before on another of her vids, but I need that lead tone like AIR; I could listen to it all day, every day, forever. Whilst we have Paul Gilbert going in his no-effects-I-only-play-shreddy-blues-with-a-boring-ass-dry-tone, it's futuristic tones like this and tasteful shred which make me love guitar the same way I did when I first heard it in my Satriani-discovering days.

[@aleatoriac7356]

Wow. Just freaking wow.

[@MrCardman12345]

I don't know what to say but I feel like I should say something after witnessing such a beautiful composition

[@GuitarsRockForever]

Very nice. She perfectly adapted her play style to get around her physical limitation.

[@davidjenson1570]

Very excellent playing ! :)

[@60CycleHumcast]

fantastic!

[@halloween5213]

I love your tone. Obviously your playing is inspired, but the way you manipulate your tone is amazing.
