This is a definite must have for the fan of instrumental rock guitar. It is not Heavy like say, Joe Stump and Andy James. I would classify it more along the lines of the better light to moderate, refined technique and composed recordings from Joe Satriani, Anand Mahangoe, and Andy Timmons. You can tell this was a labor of love especially if the review that claims to be from Tim Simmons is true. I'm not saying it isn't, just saying if it is, then he took great care in perfecting the recordings. Read his review to understand what I mean.
My favorites are #1, #2, #4, #5 (if you dismiss the intro which is fine, but not my cup of tea), #8, and #10. I almost took of a star for #6 - Sheer Genius because it is weird and irritating to me, but I didn't because it is definitely original. I don't play #6 but the others I mentioned make this astounding, and a stellar release, so it would be unfair to take off for that 1 song. #3 and #9 have lyrics and are good and #7 shows a bit of humor with a "talent" contest feel to it. If it only had #1, #4, #8, and #10 it would be worth the standard $10 - $12 price IF you can find it!!!
If you get the opportunity to get this for less than $12 you would do yourself a favor to Get It While the Gettin' Is Good!!! And if you were to give $20 I don't think you'd be disappointed. A truly remarkable, hard to find disc!!!!!!!! In fact, at this moment there is only 1 used disc available here on Amazon and 1 used one listed on eBay. Your move!!!
