Yeah I agree with Marius. This guy plays good, hard stuff, his own style. Music does not need to be mary had a little lamb simple to be "good" or have lasting value. Try to hum a Bach Fugue. There can be beauty in complexity. But I don't consider this guy to be amazingly complex or technically advanced comparing to guys from Spain. He plays with a lot of aggression, no doubt, which is a "feeling" whether we like that or not. That feeling is transmitted in our faces. He is who he is, and it comes through, you dont' confuse his playing with Tomatito for example. I feel his relation with other players in US like Chuscales, Pedro Cortes, Castellon, etc, is obvious, so if you know those guys you see where he is coming from with this "macho" style. Also he is from Texas, and texas if full of bad ass macho guitar monsters. Ever see Shawn Lane? Pantera? Anyway, Doitsujin, last time Tino Vandersman performed in Sevilla, the bienal. He is from Holland. So, yeah they do let you play if you are really good. Although, his concert was booked the same day as Paco de Lucias Still....

still i thought he was going to snap all his strings at the end, kick his accompianist in the shin and dive into the crowd. I thought this guy sounded great, i like his aggression and modern feel. I definatley prefer the modern sound. But i still respect the old school players too.
