Mattias IA Eklundh – "Acid Spit" (Freak Guitar: Growing Your Own Moustache Vol. 12)

Track & Commentary Overview

"Acid Spit" is a featured track from Mattias IA Eklundh's twelfth instructional and performance package, Freak Guitar – Growing Your Own Moustache Vol. 12 (released via the Freak Guitar Camp vaults). Known for his unorthodox phrasing, complex polyrhythms, and boundary-pushing guitar techniques as the frontman of Swedish progressive metal/rock trio Freak Kitchen, Eklundh describes "Acid Spit" as an intense fretboard workout designed to push finger dexterity to the limit.

"Acid Spit is a great song to play if you feel like your fingers need a little grinding down with its manic shifting of positions up and down the neck. (After a while, it really feels like your fingertips are starting to smoke). Pseudochromatic melodies and almost passively aggressive, feather-light, offset fingerpicking create a special groove.

Despite a kind of 'hollow space' in the arrangement between the heavy bass and all the beats across the song's different themes, the overall vibe really grabs me. Sometimes combining instruments and sounds that don't normally go together turns into a minor (or major) mess. In Acid Spit it worked out just fine. I dig it." – Mattias IA Eklundh
