The track&#8217;s slow, expressive guitar lines and quite clear\u00a0mastering create an upbeat mood from beginning to end, distinguishing it aside from many comparable tracks in terms of production quality. The guitar technique reminds one of Gary Moore, combining expressive phrasing with technical skill. Layered guitars, possibly a double-track or harmonized parts, are clearly there, enhancing the musical variety while not dominating the mix. This duality offers the piece a powerful sound representative of late 1970s to early 1980s rock instrumentals, in which color and mood were crucial. &#8220;Bliss&#8221; is not about speed or flashy playing; it is about connection. The song develops a soft nostalgia, as if it had been taken from a lost corner of rock history and given new life. Its slow tempo and expressive melodies create a classic vibe that classic rock guitar fans will like.<\/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=\"BLISS\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cNN3JiJ8ut8?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:\/\/tomkatz.bandcamp.com\/\">https:\/\/tomkatz.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Katz&#8217;s &#8220;Bliss&#8221; is a slow\u00a0nstrumental that combines the melancholic\u00a0core of blues rock with an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25150,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[226,4152],"class_list":["post-27314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-classic-rock","tag-tom-katz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27314","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=27314"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27315,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27314\/revisions\/27315"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
