Neil Zaza- Danse Macabre Neil Zaza 2022-10-18 | Danse MacabreHere’s something to go with your Pumpkin Spice Latte…One of my favorite pieces ever, I’m so excited to do a play through of Camille Saint-Saëns’ masterpiece, “Danse Macabre”. This version is on “One Dark Night...” and we play it at every performance. While it is a classical piece without dispute, the sections move around almost prog-like. It was such a fun tune to get under my fingers and I hope you enjoy it.Backing tracks and downloadable music here: neilzaza.bandcamp.comCDs and merch bundles: merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zazaStream it here: open.spotify.com/track/3K8Jzs0PiFnR9LbTnHf6Tg?si=326ea350e70b4524Interested in web lessons with Neil? http://www.neilzaza.com/guitar-lessonsA little background courtesy of Wikipedia:According to legend, Death appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death calls forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle (here represented by a solo violin). His skeletons dance for him until the rooster crows at dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.Danse macabre, Op. 40, is a tone poem for orchestra, written in 1874 by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. It premiered 24 January 1875. It is in the key of G minor. It started out in 1872 as an art song for voice and piano with a French text by the poet Henri Cazalis, which is based on an old French superstition. In 1874, the composer expanded and reworked the piece into a tone poem, replacing the vocal line with a solo violin part.
Neil Zaza- Beethovens Moonlight Sonata Neil Zaza 2022-10-10 | Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”I couldn’t get more Melodik of a Monday than by interpreting Beethoven’s melodic masterpiece: “Moonlight Sonata”.While it is an incredibly delicate and evocative piece that literally draws you in, the rock side of me always heard the power that this composition thinly veiled with it’s sensitive presentation. There are some incredibly heavy sections boiling underneath just waiting to escape! And let it escape I did on the One Dark Night... A Rock Symphony of the Macabre! release as well as a featured piece in the live performances. What a melodic masterpiece Beethoven has gifted us with!I hope you enjoy the rocked up version (it might not be for everyone, but I had a fun time rearranging it)!Backing tracks and downloadable music here: neilzaza.bandcamp.comCDs and merch bundles: merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zazaStream it here: open.spotify.com/track/3kQYzdDRO874T5pEeVChBG?si=195bc476d3c54c6cInterested in web lessons with Neil? http://www.neilzaza.com/guitar-lessonsSome details on this courtesy of Wikipedia:The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, marked Quasi una fantasia, Op. 27, No. 2, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil Countess Giulietta Guicciardi. The popular name Moonlight Sonata goes back to a critic's remark after Beethoven's death.The piece is one of Beethoven's most popular compositions for the piano, and it was a popular favourite even in his own day. Beethoven wrote the Moonlight Sonata in his early thirties, after he had finished with some commissioned work; there is no evidence that he was commissioned to write this sonata.The name Moonlight Sonata comes from remarks made by the German music critic and poet Ludwig Rellstab. In 1832, five years after Beethoven's death, Rellstab likened the effect of the first movement to that of moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne. Within ten years, the name "Moonlight Sonata" ("Mondscheinsonate" in German) was being used in German and English publications. Later in the nineteenth century, the sonata was universally known by that name.Many critics have objected to the subjective, romantic nature of the title "Moonlight", which has at times been called "a misleading approach to a movement with almost the character of a funeral march" and "absurd". Other critics have approved of the sobriquet, finding it evocative or in line with their own interpretation of the work. Gramophone founder Compton Mackenzie found the title "harmless", remarking that "it is silly for austere critics to work themselves up into a state of almost hysterical rage with poor Rellstab", and adding, "what these austere critics fail to grasp is that unless the general public had responded to the suggestion of moonlight in this music Rellstab's remark would long ago have been forgotten."
Neil Zaza- J.S. Bachs Little Fugue Neil Zaza 2022-10-06 | Bach’s Fugue in G minor, BWV 578 from One Dark Night... Another play through in anticipation of the upcoming “One Dark Night...” shows. This time it’s J.S. Bach’s “Little Fugue” (or more specifically Fugue in G minor, BWV 578). This was originally written for organ during his years at Arnstadt (1703–1707). It’s a blast to play and I hope you enjoy it!Backing tracks and downloadable music here: neilzaza.bandcamp.comCDs and merch bundles: merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zazaInterested in web lessons with Neil? http://www.neilzaza.com/guitar-lessons
Neil Zaza- Mozart Lacrimosa Neil Zaza 2022-10-03 | The Requiem in D Minor, K. 626: Lacrimosa (Mozart)There can be no more melodik of Mondays than when the musical content is from the pen one of the all-time great melodic masters: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! Taken from the "One Dark Night... A Rock Symphony of the Macabre"! release, this piece is featured in the live production that is touring theaters now. I hope you enjoy this rocked up, energetic take on this classical masterwork!Backing tracks and downloadable music here: neilzaza.bandcamp.comCDs and merch bundles: merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zazaStream it here: open.spotify.com/track/73IYDCYvrWiT2netDkge9h?si=664d89f544bc428fInterested in web lessons with Neil? http://www.neilzaza.com/guitar-lessons

Neil Zaza- Purple Rain Neil Zaza 2022-07-25 | Well this is the one that people always request and ask me about, the infamous Prince classic (and perfect in every way), “Purple Rain”. Might there be a better pop/ballad song ever written? I think not!Normally I wouldn’t do a play through of this as the Prince Police would probably have me take it down within seconds, but I figured let’s give it a try and see how long things last. Also, my dear friends Emilie and Pete from Denmark were getting married and it was Emilie’s special request to surprise Pete at the wedding with this song/video to dance to so how could I possibly refuse? (Yeah, I know the video export has a bunch of random pixilation. There was definitely a ghost in the machine with this footage, but in the spirit of loving a good ballad from ’84, please try and ignore it.)Enjoy!Backing tracks and downloadable music here: neilzaza.bandcamp.comCDs and merch bundles: merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza

Neil Zaza- Baroque Sky Crooked River Croove Neil Zaza 2022-05-17 | For this Melodik Monday I’m going to go back to the buzz cut era for me with one of my all time favorites from 212, Baroque Sky. This version recorded in Cleveland, Ohio for the program “Live on Crooked River Groove”, has become one of my favorites to play live as it works its way in and out of my touring set all the time.From a compositional view, I love songs that go from a 1 and end up at a 10 in terms of dynamics and power. Start at a whisper and end with a scream is my motto! 😂You can get the guitar tabs here:neil-zaza-merch.myshopify.com/collections/212-guitar-tabsBacking tracks and downloadable music here:neilzaza.bandcamp.comStream it here:open.spotify.com/album/5FVvszZg7ujHPlZarrOtZz?si=b-K8u1ECSdGTL40ne6HStgCDs and merch bundles:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza
Neil Zaza- Blossom Play Through Neil Zaza 2022-05-09 | It’s time to start breaking out some of the new songs from Vermeer and I couldn’t be more happy to present “Blossom” to you for this Melodik Monday!I know I say all the songs are special to me, but this one really makes me feel something. Maybe it is the simplicity of the melody or the backing chords, but I love playing it and it was a joy to record.For the actual recording on Vermeer, I used my Kiesel raspberry Raw Tone Aries though the Neural Archetype: Gojira for the main lead tone and phase effect. I duplicated that exact rig for this play through.Backing tracks and downloadable music here:neilzaza.bandcamp.comStream it here:open.spotify.com/album/2mQGY5uu3ApikjQE9fHhzi?si=pI3mmWsPTXaeeSACc9JDdQCDs and merch bundles:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza
Neil Zaza- Higher and Higher Alive in Denmark! Neil Zaza 2022-05-02 | Between going crazy prepping to head out on tour in Europe this upcoming weekend, COVID and a new multi-camera setup that I am still figuring out, I’ve been a little delinquent in knocking out a play-through this week. In that, I’m going to go old-school and throw something your way that I’m really proud of and that proudly carries the banner of melody on this Melodik Monday.“Higher and Higher” first appeared on my “Thrills & Chills” album and then later in a more revved up version on “Clyde the Cat”. Always a live staple in my shows for years, there’s just something about this tune and just feels good to play and puts me in a great mood. This version is from our “Alive in Denmark!” Blu-Ray.Of course, the killers of Enrico Cianciusi on the drums and Walter Cerasani on the bass!I hope y’all enjoy this version and I’ll be back next week with a brand new sit down play-through that I am really excited about.You can get the guitar tabs here:neil-zaza-merch.myshopify.com/collections/clyde-the-cat-guitar-tabsBacking tracks and downloadable music here:neilzaza.bandcamp.comStream it here:open.spotify.com/album/2YufeVRdMCmlyipetxwTxf?si=F_s0AUEpRNq08V4rQu-LjgCDs and merch bundles:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza
Neil Zaza- Turn the World Around Live in Celano, Italy! Neil Zaza 2022-04-25 | I’ve got something really special for Melodik Monday this week! In March 2015, we filmed a show at a theater in Celano (AQ), Italy only for it to ultimately get lost on a hard drive until it was recently found. That tour featured songs from the then recently released Peach album and I have one of those very songs for you today that fits perfectly into what Melodik Monday is all about.“Turn the World Around” was one of my favorite songs to play on that tour and as I seem to say constantly, a song that I need to add back into the live set. 😂I also excited to release this new found video to you as it features my long time and highly esteemed brothers Walter Cerasani on the bass and Enrico Cianciusi on drums. Like a fine wine, these gents get better the more years we play together! I’m leaving in a couple weeks to join them in another Europe romp and hope to see you at the show if you’re in the area.I hope you enjoy this special live find and there are some other gems from this performance that I know I’ll end up posting in the near future.You can get the guitar tabs here:neil-zaza-merch.myshopify.com/collections/peach-guitar-tabsBacking tracks and downloadable music here:neilzaza.bandcamp.comStream it here:open.spotify.com/album/3GbSKZUSK9WD7ybitEEZ2B?si=O5WXyVhfReOJfj2j2fBy6wCDs and merch bundles:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza
Neil Zaza- My Dearest Play Through Neil Zaza 2022-04-18 | Let’s go deep into the melodic depths of “My Dearest” on this most Melodik of Mondays! Originally appearing on my “When Gravity Fails” album, this moody and pensive interlude started out life as an intro in my One Silent Night... show. I loved it so much that I knew that it had to have a place of it’s own in my catalog.You can get the guitar tabs here:neil-zaza-merch.myshopify.com/collections/when-gravity-fails-guitar-tabBacking tracks and downloadable music here:neilzaza.bandcamp.comStream it here:open.spotify.com/album/01B2lGjwoTGIqSQIKlES3E?si=WKBikYnYQ4WhRyWDxGREcACDs and merch bundles:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza
Neil Zaza- I’m Alright Live Melodik Monday Neil Zaza 2022-04-11 | Who is alright on Melodik Monday?Let’s make a slight detour on this Melodik Monday and go a bit old-school with a live version of “I’m Alright” from the “Alive in Denmark!” Blu-Ray from a few years ago. Hey, it’s melodic, right? Glad to have my partners in crime Enrico Cianciusi and Walter Cerasani finally featured. We were all sick as hell when we filmed this, but the show must go on and the boys dug down deep, smiled through it and we have something we are still proud of. (BTW, this lineup will be on tour in Europe coming up in May)Happy Melodik Monday, my friends!You can grab the download and backing tracks to this and my other albums at:neilzaza.bandcamp.comGuitar tab:neil-zaza-merch.myshopify.com/collections/guitar-tabsYou can stream the whole album here:open.spotify.com/album/7fCNHzPt7xJJoBAtpMdpVv?si=hPAov77dRK-2BqXVmCQ9UQYou can also buy the Blu-Ray and other killer merch at:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza
Neil Zaza jams with Dragonforce on Farming Simulator! Neil Zaza 2022-04-08 | What an amazing night at the Agora last night with Dragonforce. I not only had a great time watching their incredible show, but got to have a little square dancin’, hand clappin’ fun by two-steppin’ with the gang in their Farming Simulator segment (I’ll stick to guitar, thank you, and leave the dancin’ to professionals). Big thanks to Herman, Sam and the entire fam for a ho-down fun night!
Neil Zaza- Prelude Play Through Neil Zaza 2022-04-04 | Prelude Play ThroughI’ll leave you with a short one on this Melodik Monday with Vermeer’s opening intro track, “Prelude”. I’ve been learning it for the upcoming tour and I realize I love playing it because it has all the elements that I love with it’s half step “singing” stretches and almost freeform time that extends over the bar line. It sort of sets up anything that comes after it and I can already tell this will be a staple in the live set whether I start the show with it or not.Please check it out wherever you get your streams or if you are CD-centric, you can get the CD from my online store at:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zazaHope you enjoy it. I’ve been learning and practicing a few other Melodik Monday pieces that are coming up in the next few weeks that I’m really excited about. Stay tuned.
Neil Zaza- Wild Horses Play Through Neil Zaza 2022-03-28 | Sometimes in instrumental music, the music itself takes you on a journey which tells a story. That story and the plot is to be filled in by you, the listener, as you adapt what you are hearing and feeling into your own personal narrative. I always feel that when I play “Wild Horses” I am telling a story in great detail with the rise and fall of dynamics and the push and pull of the notes. What that story exactly is, is entirely up to you. And that, my friends, is what Melodik Monday is all about!“Wild Horses” has always been one of my favorites off of “212” and it’s in every live setlist that we ever do. Fun fact: Rick Beato (the now YouTube music sensation) mixed this track along with albums 212, Clyde the Cat and part of Peach. The dude is a genius!I’ll be releasing the guitar tab for this soon. You can get the backing tracks here:neilzaza.bandcamp.com/album/212-the-backing-tracks
Neil Zaza- St. Valentine Play Through Neil Zaza 2022-03-21 | Not only is it Melodik Monday, but it’s the release day of my latest album, Vermeer!

Already this song has become a staple in my live show so I can’t wait to play it for you here.Guitar tabs for Vermeer in its entirety will be released later, but in honor of release day of the album and this video, you can grab the tab for St. Valentine here (tabbed by yours truly so you know it is exact):neil-zaza-merch.myshopify.com/collections/vermeer-guitar-tabsI hope you enjoy it and please visit the link below if you want to grab the CD, brand new merch or some killer merch bundles:merchbucket.com/collections/neil-zaza

Neil Zaza- Palladio Main Solo Neil Zaza 2022-03-10 | Fresh off of my Texas tour, I thought I would share a song that’s always fun to play and has a great shred factor: The gothic sounding and always epic Karl Jenkin’s “Palladio”. We tear this piece up at “One Dark Night...” and it has found it’s way into my live set as it never disappoints. This is just the solo section.
Neil Zaza- The Wonder of You snippet Neil Zaza 2022-03-03 | The Wonder of YouBy request again, ask and you shall receive! Today I’m going to leave my beloved Kiesels in the rack and play my Tele to do a quick run though for “The Wonder of You” from the “Staring at the Sun” album. Doing this quick play-through makes me think I need to add this song to the live set! What do you think? Most importantly, though, a guest appearance by my genuine 70’s KISS lava lamp that is never far from me when I record anything. (BTW, Steve Smith on drums, Ross Valory on bass and Tim Bradford on keys for this track)
Neil Zaza- “A Whiter Shade of Pale” Neil Zaza 2022-03-01 | A Whiter Shade of PaleI want to dedicate this to the passing of Gary Brooker last week, the singer-songwriter of Procol Harum that wrote one of my favorite songs ever, “A Whiter Shade of Pale.” The song is a clinic in memorable melody especially with the inclusion of Bach’s “Air on a G String” quote. Sheer perfection on every level. RIP, Mr. Brooker. I’ve played this over the years on many tours and it never gets old for me. (This version features Enrico and Walter from our Alive in Denmark)

Neil Zaza Vermeer: Todd Sucherman Big Rock drum chorus Neil Zaza 2022-01-27 | I’m beyond ecstatic to have my brother Todd Sucherman drum on Vermeer. Aside from being a multiple time/category Modern Drummer reader’s poll winner and drummer in Styx, he’s the coolest dude around. On a personal note, how he approached the songs and his parts throughout the record was nothing short of meticulous and musical. We had discussed that everything that everyone does has to serve the song, not the player. That’s what kind of record Vermeer is. In that, Todd could have just recorded a bunch of takes and let me edit them through, but he didn’t. He actually learned each piece and refined his parts until they were exactly what the song was calling for…then we recorded. He took time and was focused on every detail and facet. I know that you’ll be able to tell when you get a listen to the full album. Here’s Mr. Sucherman playing a little snippet of the first single, “Big Rock.” Thanks a million, bro!Want to take a listen to the full song?open.spotify.com/album/1rAGxz4UMc4jqdlcibxrb8http://itunes.apple.com/album/id/1604539449You can preorder Vermeer here:http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1604085349?ls=1&app=itunes
Neil Zazas One Dark Night... A Rock Symphony of the Macabre! Neil Zaza 2020-03-16 | While we love the Hollywood and cultural monsters that we’ve grown up with, have you ever asked yourself why is it that we are obsessed with things evil, dark and macabre? From art to nightmares to our irrational fears, why are we drawn to these terrifying things that we can’t explain? Maybe it’s our attempt to understand and give our inner darkness a form, personifying the unknown that we can only feel: The true monster exists in us all…WE ARE THE MONSTER!A terrifying orchestral exploration of all things evil and dark from the world’s greatest composers reimagined through the guitar of rock maestro Neil Zaza. This symphony of fear mixes powerful arrangements of macabre classical masterpieces by Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Prokofiev, Saint-Saëns and others with the fury of a rock band and orchestra.This symphonic rock show is a journey to explore man's take on not only what scares us, but to come to terms with all of these terrifying elements that live within us all.For more information, please visit:www.onedarknightonline.comwww.facebook.com/onedarknightwww.instagram.com/one_dark_night_symphonyTo hear the music, please visit:open.spotify.com/album/0PtBKGSPIknUbUa4hhi9AE?si=7K6ruQgdSDqIb-BDbhbX-g
