DAN SINDEL - FEATURED IN APRIL 08 “GUITAR PLAYER” MAGAZINE

Yet another exciting day as Dan Sindel's Symphonic Guitars earn a write up in the granddaddy of them all "GUITAR PLAYER" Magazines April 2008 issue

.

The article reads:
page 36.
Speaking of "The Liberty Bell", Michael Molenda (editor in chief) says:
"A lot of guitarists claim to be "orchestral" players, and the result is often dreadful to my ears, but Sindel is cagey enough to be both hilarious and enjoyable. His reading of this John Sousa march - perhaps best known as the Monty Python theme - is well arranged and goofy. It's whacked out genius!"

Dan states: "I have been reading Guitar Player Magazine ever since I was a kid and to have a mention within its pages is a dream come true, what kid does not grow up dreaming he was in Guitar Player Magazine??? LOL, On top of all that it is a very lighthearted review with a nice sense of humor built in and I am very grateful for the recognition as my honest approach to recreating the Sousa marches was in fact to not be so 'grandiose' but to have a ton of fun and I really think that comes across to anyone who listens to my work on "Marching In", the music seems to transport you back to a time when things seemed perhaps a bit more simple."

Dan Sindel endorses Seymour Duncan Pickups

For Press Release: 02/19/08
Yet another exciting day as Dan Sindel joins the Seymour Duncan "family of artists"..!

Dan states: "Ever since I was a kid I was reding Guitar Player magazine and one day saw I this small little ad that said something like 'send me your pickups and I will give you any sound you want' so without thinking twice I ripped my pickups out of my 68' SG, sent them in and had Seymour custom rewind them for me. Seymour Duncan pickups have been an integral part of my sound ever since 1983 … NO Seymour, NO Me..!

It is an absolute "honor and a half" to be accepted on to the team as there was a pretty tough screening process to go through and the day I found out that I made the cut was quite the celebration..."

AORPETE’S Review of "Marching In"

http://www.myspace.com/aorpete

Your direction with the guitar symphonys is very unique & I am unfamiliar with any other artists that go to such extreme detail in their work to produce this level of high-quality arrangement with such complexities in the performance.

The three tracks from "Marching In" are admittedly not my usual listens in the sense of a 'marching arrangement'... but, that being said - the detail is astounding!!!

All the guitar work sounds so strong & the richness of the harmonies are really pure & brilliantly performed from start to finish completely & convincingly with not even a wisper of fatigue despite the duration & complex attributes of each movement.

Also... the percussion work is really tight giving the piece as a whole a big solid & vibrant sound. So... despite not being my usual listen (marching style-wise) this is a first rate performance & believe it could not have panned out better!!!

"Excerts From Handel's Messiah" on the other hand is definetly in the catagory of my usual listens & as you know already my favorite or one of my favorites of yours (guitar symphony piece).

The level of detail, quality of tone & precision in the replication of orchestral instrumental parts is spot on & combined with the harpsichord part unites old with new all bringing the warmth & depth that makes this an unforgettable arrangement.

Top work on both pieces & movements - I would recommend this to anyone who love's to hear strong instrumental & pure toned guitar work in a modern visualisation of classical architecture. 5 Stars...

Also... the CD, packaging & presentation are first rate in visuals, detail & quality - GO DAN!!!
