The album also includes a DVD containing videos of him performing album songs identical to the ones on YouTube. I also have its corresponding tablature book, which was published a few weeks ago. It contains the sheet music for every song on the album. Official tablature for ten mind boggling difficult songs is a heck of deal for $16.50 CDN, considering the sheet music for a single piece at Stropes is $12 US.
I would rank Joyland as somewhere between Art of Motion and Gates of Gnomeria, slightly weaker than the former but much stronger than the latter. Thus far I like every single piece on Joyland, except Layover. Joyland continues the trend in Gates of Gnomeria, where some of his pieces on the album have accompaniment, such as his title track Joyland and Never Grow Old. And like with Gates of Gnomeria, I much prefer the solo versions, as seen and heard on YouTube.
Currently I have just memorized and am attempting to master his title piece Joyland. This is the third song I have learned that is written for the baritone acoustic guitar, the other two being Heather’s Song and Ebon Coast. I really need a baritone acoustic…
