Eric Maldonado: Hands To The Sky - original composition - promo video


Hands To The Sky • Eric Maldonado (Instrumental Guitar)
I think this is the first full original song I've ever uploaded to YouTube. Crazy to think about! Well, regardless of how long it took to finally get one up, I'm happy to share my music with you now. This one's called Hands To The Sky.

Influence for this one is all over the place. Musically, guitarists like Neil Zaza, Neal Schon, and Andy Timmons/artists like Chris Tomlin, Kristian Stanfill and the Passion stuff come to mind. On a deeper level, it's called "Hands To The Sky" which is a metaphor for praising God. I've made it a staple in my life to make every victory and loss, big or small, positive or negative, a praise to God - with my hands to the sky. Living in the moment, making the best of the situation and not letting the environment dictate me. That's something most people forget to do, so hopefully this song can be a reminder of that :) I really enjoy the chord progressions of this song, though they are quite simple. I have been thinking of doing an acoustic version only because these chords sound great when they ring out. So that might pop up sometime soon.

I played everything on this tune and programmed a fair amount of things as well. If you have any questions about any of that, just ask! :) The guitar in this video is my Fernandes Revolver Classic.

Lastly, if you would like the tab for this song, I will be releasing it once it hits 50 likes here on YouTube. So be sure to like, comment, and share to spread it around and get the tab sooner! :D

Thanks for listening! Expect at least 2 more originals this summer!

Eric Maldonado: climbs into the pulpit to deliver In Christ Alone



Eric Maldonado: Hey folks!!

At last, a new video. I know this is definitely a total change in terms of musical direction, but I feel that this is the road I am supposed to be on. I hope you'll stick with me on this journey and if not, at least enjoy the music. I will go more in-depth on this change in direction at another time. Please like, favorite, comment, subscribe and share!! Thank you for all your support over the years, it means so much. This is loosely based on Adam Young's arrangement and I tried to play it the way players like Eric Johnson, Andy Timmons, or Neil Zaza would go about it.

Eric Maldonado: Christmas Carol Rock 2

 Christmas Carol Rock 2 - Eric Maldonado - Hard Rock Electric Guitar -
Hey folks! Eric Maldonado here with a very special video for you today...my annual Christmas song! I present to you, Christmas Carol Rock 2. A Medley of classic Xmas songs played with loud guitars, big drums, and flashy camera angles - because you really need it. I put together the video through multiple takes as you can see form the many angles, so apologies for some parts not being synced correctly.


A big thank you to Julian Puttins aka PetrucciFever for giving me the inspiration in 2008 to play his White Christmas version. It's all thanks to him that I still do these. Thanks Julian!

Just a little clip I put together for a new song I am working on for my next record. I know it's just sweeping but I love this part a lot and just wanted to share it with you all! This is definitely where my style is headed. Heavy, ambient, and futuristic! :D
This is also my new Fernandes! It's a Revolver Classic model. The tones I get out of this instrument are amazing!
