Thanks to Matt T McCourt for letting me know about Mikhal Caldwell, who is also on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/mikhalcaldwell his main web site is mikhalcaldwell.net
Background:
Mikhal Caldwell started playing a $19 Decca Guitar in the mirror mimicking Jimi Hendrix at 10 years old. At 12, his grandmother purchased his first "real guitar" and provided him with the encouragement to play. By his early teens he began to transform his Hendrix inspired pentatonic / blues scale style, into a wide range investigating different genres of music.
Mikhal was captivated by middle-eastern music. After several damaged turntables and hundreds of broken strings, Mikhal began to understand the sitar musical style of Ravi Shankar and the important influences of players like John Coltrane, David Sancious,Chick Corea, Jeff Beck, Alan Holdsworth, John Goodsall.
Mikhal Caldwell has 4 recordings released that range from his 2 CD's with The True Stories Orchestra Light of Truth 1999 Balance 2000. A couple of the newer releases are available from http://www.abstractlogix.com/
