UPDATE: It seems I had my wires crossed as to the instructions on photographing Marty, before the clinic it was announced that no photography or video was to be taken using Mobile phones because they didn’t want blurry crappy footage posted online, cameras however were fine. I however incorrectly interpreted this as meaning that video cameras were fine. I certainly didn’t mean to do something against Marty’s wishes and sincerely apologise for any trouble this has caused ... I realised

Jonas Tamas is very talented guitarist from Hungary and “Sharp Guitars from a Flat Planet” is his debut instrumental release. Jonas’ influences are obviously trenched in metal and instrumental rock guitar. His fast Satriani-esque legato phrases fuse into fast picking sections reminiscent of John Petrucci and Yngwie Malmsteen but Jonas has much more to offer than speedy playing and flashy tapping, Jonas has a some great melodic ideas too. Below is a summary of some of the tracks from the

This DVD slipped under my radar for a while before I noticed it one day on Amazon.com and promptly ordered a copy, I had previously bought and reviewed “Get Out Of My Yard” DVD and also owned his Intense Rock II on VHS many moons ago so I knew what to expect and knew it was going to be worth the money. Thankfully Paul has reverted to his bizarre recording style of using blue screen backgrounds which bleed into the reflections on the guitars and look very cheap and silly, much like the

I’ve had this album for ages and meant to do a review a long time ago but somehow forgot about it, and I can’t imagine why Steffen is an incredible guitarist! I was reminded after seeing the video above posted on YouTube by his record label Candy Rat Records which is an excellent label full of amazing talent such as Antoine Dufour. So after drooling over Steffen’s Suhr and of course his playing I fired up iTunes to listen to ElectricGuitartistry again to see what I’d been missing out on
