I'm agree, funk & rock, the best music styles to enjoy.
Fantastic composition as always, Javier!
Thanks mate Poitr, to me you are also a great composer! 
LackingAN24th March 2014This sounds really good! It’d be a great song for an intro to a tv show or presentation to get the crowd pumped. As always your composition, playing, and production are top notch!

Em Dorian (D Major)
Techniques:
legato, picking, bending, slide notes and hybrid picking
Sound:
I used a Gibson Les Paul Gold 74' with a little of delay and overdrive.

Standard tuning: E,A,D,G,B,E
Tempo:
85 bpm (Slow parts at 50 bpm)
