Get to Know Ewan Dobson

Canady Rat records artist Ewan Dobson has created a massive following for his virtuosic and unique fingerstyle technique.

It’s easy to hear the influence of classical, heavy metal, trance, techno and video games in his playing. It’s an unlikely combination, and bewildering to imagine how he translates all of those influences to the acoustic guitar. His playing simultaneously represents all these influences with ease.

The first time I saw him perform was at an open mic of all places. It was at Covernotes Tea and Coffee House in Richmond Hill, Ontario, his hometown. Nobody had any idea what they were in for. I had never even heard of him at the time. I happy I was introduced this way, because it was shocking.

Ewan knew what he was doing. He stepped onto the stage and set up his digital delay pedal with his acoustic guitar. He wasn’t wearing his signature hat though. As soon as he started playing, the audience was mesmerized. I don’t use this term lightly, and I’ve been to a lot of concerts. We were almost hypnotized. Why was this happening at an open mic?

At the end of his 5 song set Ewan mentioned he had CDs for sale. I’ve never seen an audience flock to this request before or since. But I swear, each person left with 2 CDs.

When he introduced the tune The Legend of the Brown Goat I was thinking, “Seriously??? Really??? What is this about?” It turned out to be my personal favourite.

Q&A with Ewan Dobson

Luke: What are you looking forward to the most about you upcoming European tour?

Ewan: The most important thing is to deliver performances to the best of my ability. The audiences in Europe support what I do and I am no longer simply playing to satisfy myself. I am more concerned than ever with not letting down my patrons, who are spending their hard earned dollars to come hear a night of guitar music. I look forward to giving these shows the best I have to offer.

I always have some nervousness, but it helps keep me grounded. The nervousness is something that can be channeled into awe, or respect, for the tasks at hand. Being too sure of one’s self in the face of obligations can cause complacency. In other words, I see the importance of focus and the necessity for respecting the audience that wants to hear a good show.

I am also looking forward to visiting these countries that I have never been to or played in before.

Luke: How do you come up with song ideas?

Ewan: It either starts with a chord progression and out of that progression emerges a melody to match, or a melody comes first then I must find the appropriate progression to fit underneath it. Other times, it is a riff that I come up with and I expand on it the best I can. Sometimes the songs are shorter because I can only come up with so many developments. In other cases it becomes a longer song if I can develop it further.

Luke:   How do you translate those ideas into compositions, do you have a method to the madness?

Ewan:  As I touched on in the previous answer, I will expand on an idea until it is clear to me that it has reached its limit for development. I sometimes use a bluegrass or traditional melody approach to writing music, having A and B sections with a variation to keep it interesting.

I prefer to call them musical ideas rather than compositions. I find the word “composition” so very formal and I imagine it being more applicable to writing music without an instrument in hand, on a 12 staff score with a fountain pen. I am just coming up with ideas on guitar, putting them together in a format that I think works, and playing them the best I can.

I don’t apply the same seriousness that is found in classical study to what I do. A lot of it is done in the spirit of fun and experimentation. I very much enjoy simple melodies and embrace them without worrying. I convey the simplicities with intricate techniques in some cases.

Luke:   Of all the guitars out there, what led you to use Stonebridge Guitars?

Ewan:   I was fortunate enough to win a Stonebridge guitar at the 2009 Canadian Fingerstyle Guitar Competition. I primarily use the Stonebridge for my flatpicking acoustic metal/rock. The D23CR I have has good string spacing and neck size for the material I play with the flat pick. The tone is perfect for my heavy acoustic picking.

Luke:  Tell us what Stonebridge models you own?

Ewan: I have two Stonebridges, a D23CR 6-string and a SJ24SR 12-string.

Luke: One of my favourite tunes of yours is The Legend of the Brown Goat. Tell me the legend in your own words.

Ewan: It is open to interpretation and imagination. Perhaps it has something to do with the attempt to be sure-footed in the mountainous ups and downs of life. It is often the case that my whimsical song titles are questioned for their deeper meaning, where in most situations there is no deeper meaning in the title itself.

Ewan is heading out on a European tour this February with dates in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Czech Republic, Austria, Turkey and Slovakia. Check out the dates here: http://ewandobson.com/shows.html

Acoustic Metal: Listen to Ewan Dobson’s “Condemnation”

There is no double kick drum or even distortion, but this is still about as metal as it gets.

With his new single “Condemnation,” could guitarist Ewan Dobson be helping to usher in a new genre of acoustic metal ?

Recorded in complete isolation in the backwoods of Canada just after completing his tour of Europe, CandyRat Records artist Ewan Dobson’s upcoming album Acoustic Metal II features multi-tracked acoustic guitar played with a flat-pick.

The album releases July 4 and is the follow-up to 2013’s Acoustic Metal .

On the Acoustic Metal II , Dobson shifts the melodic and heavy-rhythmic aspects of metal into the realm of clean acoustic guitar. Having multi-tracked his playing, the sound at times comes across like a heavy acoustic guitar trio or quartet.

Can acoustic guitar be metal? Listen to “Condemnation” and decide for yourself:

Acoustic Metal II ups the game from the previous Acoustic Metal , bringing with it heavier riffs and more evolved songwriting. With 14 tracks, Acoustic Metal II is played entirely with a flat-pick and does not contain any fingerstyle guitar, unlike its predecessor.

In February 2015, EWAN DOBSON embarks on a 3 month coast-to-coast North American Tour, hitting all major markets!  North America is big, so Ewan Dobson will release not one, but two new albums to support his North American tour.  ACOUSTIC METAL II is the first of these two new releases and is the follow-up to the Acoustic Metal 1.  12-String Guitar includes 12-string versions of material from Ewan´s previous albums along with 5 new unreleased songs.  The show will include material spanning Ewan´s entire catalogue performed fingerstyle and with flatpick. ACOUSTIC METAL II On Friday, July 4th, 2014, guitar virtuoso & YouTube sensation EWAN DOBSON releases his 9th solo album, Acoustic Metal II.  Recorded in complete isolation in the backwoods of Canada just after completing his tour of Europe , Acoustic Metal II is the follow-up to Acoustic Metal (CandyRat Records, 2013). and features multi-tracked acoustic guitar played with a flat-pick.  With Acoustic Metal II, Ewan shows that acoustic guitar can definitely be metal, and you don´t necessarily need distortion.  "Think Spanish Flamenco in a head on crash with a bus filled with Kerry King, Dave Mustaine and Dimebag Darrell! It’s when you listen to this record you can easily understand why ex-Megadeth guitar virtuoso Marty Friedman selected Ewan to play the acoustic parts that appears on Marty Friedman’s latest album Inferno. Friedman was even quoted saying ´Ewan played the parts so beautifully and with so much expertise and flair that Jason (Becker) and I were in awe of his performance.´ Lets be fair, that statement alone deserves a round of applause."

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.
