By Hasan Faridi<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Renowned guitarist Asad Ahmed<\/a>, has been in the music industry for ages. It\u2019s just that most of the time, he hasn\u2019t had a chance to showcase himself as a sole artist. With an upcoming album over the horizon, Ahmed wants to show what he can bring to the table.<\/p>\n In a defiant stand, Ahmed recently made a clear statement, stating, \u201cI don\u2019t want to do the whole guitar hero thing again. I think, for me, it has always been more about the songs than guitar solos.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And likewise, Ahmed may have just already proved he can create instrumental \u2018songs\u2019 in his new release named \u201cWill You<\/a>\u201d. It\u2019s given to us hungry rockers like a starter prior to the main course.<\/p>\n Upon listening to the track, I was immediately hooked in. Starting off with bunch of heavy riffing and power slides by the man himself, Asad gives us a good dose of his own solo composition. The bass at the bridge drops the adrenaline, but then Ahmed flies in with a fast solo backed up later with the waa-waa pedals.<\/p>\n After repeating the same song many times, I found myself hearing not just music, but the weeping electric guitar. The composition became a song. The guitar was actually singing<\/em>. The voice was recognizable even more at the end, with the guitar seeming to weep \u201cWill You\u201d as the track came to a finish.<\/p>\n The track is as slick as Ahmed\u2019s long hair.<\/p>\n Without a doubt, Ahmed is one of Pakistan\u2019s finest guitarists. Along with many other achievements, Ahmed was the founder of the influential Pakistani band Karavan<\/a><\/em>, and has collaborated with Vital Signs<\/a><\/em> and the so-called \u201cU2 of Pakistan\u201d, Junoon<\/a><\/em>. His guitar skills have benefited many, including Najam Sheraz<\/a>, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan<\/a>, and recently in Ali Zafar<\/a>\u2019s upcoming film, London Paris New York<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Ahmed\u2019s experience in the music industry is of such value that his achievements are somewhat rather unbelievable. You can even find him in various Youtube<\/em> videos in which he performs live without busting a sweat or making a mistake. And likewise, we will see Ahmed\u2019s talent shine in the upcoming album.<\/p>\n Featuring English songs, surprise guest vocalists, and a whole array of instruments to add to the arsenal, the upcoming album will definitely be worth the wait.<\/p>\n
