TESSERACT - Calabi-Yau on guitar by Covid Santa James

James has a go at interpreting Chris Barretto's sax solo from Calabi-Yau on guitar. Check out the original on Altered State, which has just been reissued on vinyl:
centurymedia.s...
Using: Ibanez FR, Neural Architype (Plini) & Dark Glass, Focusrite Scarlett, Steinberg Cubase, Bareknuckle Aftermaths, Daddario Strings.
Live drums by Jamie Postones
Christmas jumper knitted by his mum
tesseractband....

Merry Christmas James and everyone at Tess!!!

[@mr.sidecomments9278]

I know that shred-type solos don't really mesh with Tesseract's style but I still wish they would find a way to do so and have James do one in a few songs, much like how their recent releases sparingly features Dan's growls

[@L-TRAIN]

alternately: have more Chris Barretto sax solos

[@Ryan-ke3qd]

@@L-TRAIN or Saxl Rose, he was phenomenal on the Intervals track he was featured on

[@starless1759]

Iirc Nocturne on the deluxe version has a guitar solo at the end. Its a sick one.

[@AllTheRamenOnTheSky]

@@starless1759 It's the instrumental version that has the solo

[@starless1759]

@@AllTheRamenOnTheSky Both versions have it, look again. Deluxe version

[@smegmosisjones5645]

Pleeeeeease make this into a full track or integrate more saxophone in your songs lol

Merry Christmas to you guys. Portals was the highest quality live performance I have ever seen from any band. You guys didn't have to do that but you did and I will buy a Blu-ray if you put it out. I bought a ticket and watched it but yeah I would own this on physical media if you would put it out and gladly pay for it

seconded: motion carried.

[@josephabdalla84]

Please put out a physical copy or another chance to see it streaming. Something!
