The electric guitar is the main instrument on this piece, while the classical guitar adds extra textures and a contrasting but harmonizing layer to the song. One of the track&#8217;s strongest features is the way the electric and classical guitars interact. The two guitars don&#8217;t compete; instead, they wonderfully complement one another, creating an atmosphere that reflects the skill of musicians like Vinnie Moore and Yngwie Malmsteen. The electric guitar provides the strong, catchy rock sound that serves as the track&#8217;s backbone, while the delicate tones of the classical guitar provide a laid-back, almost cinematic vibe. The song unexpectedly changes at 2:39 as piano notes bring in a jazzy part. This sudden change provides the work a new depth and shows Andreas St\u00fcrz&#8217;s flexibility. The elegant, rhythmic touch of the piano improves the track&#8217;s dynamic flow without detracting from its overall unity fitting in well with the rest of the music. The composition ends with the electric guitar making a reappearance, providing a pleasant musical journey. This song is an excellent illustration of how to combine genres well thanks to the contrast and harmony between the electric and classical guitars as well as the surprise jazz-infused piano part. For lovers of catchy rock and avant-garde instrumental music, it&#8217;s a must-listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"State of Mind\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vDPPlg4ntIY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Stuerz.Music\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Stuerz.Music<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stuerzandreas\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stuerzandreas<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andreas St\u00fcrz&#8217;s &#8220;State of Mind&#8221; is an interesting\u00a0instrumental that\u00a0combines cinematic and classical themes with melodic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[4069,2015,317,465],"class_list":["post-24768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-andreas-sturz","tag-cinematic-music","tag-hard-rock","tag-jazz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24768"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24770,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24768\/revisions\/24770"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
