I was recently requested to do a Jam package for Jam Track Central. It was obviously a great honour for me. If you're into practicing and going further with major scale modes and guitar techniques this could seriously be your thing. The whole package was designed to help you understand the use of mo...

Hi guys, An update on the progress of the album. The release of the album is delayed a little bit.

We've started to work on the so...

Thank you guys! Bryceybhoy: Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the album once you have had the chance to digest it. Thanks in advance!

Haha, thanks guys! I believe all people can have something to give each other. I'm thankful for your comments. Can relate to Rai's comments on being bored of instrumental guitar music. I took a pause on listening to guitar instrumentals in 1998 or something. This pause lasted for many years. But the...

Excellent. Rai, I totally love how you put it "Play everything like it's your last note, and your life depends on it"! There needs to be something new and surprising, with each song on the album and within each song. If you hear the first song and you can guess what happens during the rest of the al...

Not sure if you've heard of him but if you check his websites you get the best idea of this carton character guitarist. My journey with Mr. Fastfinger started as a school project. This...

It's a change to win a G-system

Thanks! I've recieved feedback from musicans of all kinds. It's been very postive. I got me a Evo pass from Mikey. To me it was scary to meet Steve, especially after I knew he had seen Fastfinger. But Vai liked my creation. He told me that Satriani had just e-mailed him about the site the same day w...
