Shern Wong @ Esplanade
Managed to catch Shern Wong at Esplanade yesterday night.
Shern Wong was performing as part of Esplanade's INSTRUMENTALly ROCK! event. Shern Wong plays instrumental rock in the likes of John Petrucci and Andy Timmons.
The few originals that he played had a strong John Petrucci influence (though not a total rip off), especially his opening track, which had riffs that sounded very similar to Petrucci's Glasgow Kiss.
In addition to his original tracks, he played 2 covers from Andy Timmons, namely Electric Gypsy and Super 70's, which happened to be 2 of my favourite tracks off Andy Timmons' discography. One notable song that he played was a cover of local guitarist, Rosli Mansor's song, as a tribute to a great local guitarist.
Though not the best guitarist around, I have to admit that Shern plays an awesome style of instrumental rock, seeing that his influences are some of my favourite guitarists. His originals also showed that he put quite a lot of effort to make the overall sound of the music move interesting since, as Cynthia mentioned, the drums were actually not just the standard rock beats but actually had a some thought put in them.
Overall a pretty enjoyable performance for a person who's a fan of instrumental guitar rock music.
