All out guitar give an in depth review of the recent Guitar Idol 2008 CD, which again is highly recommended, particularly if your looking to get into instrumental guitar playing. Some funny comments too!



Fernando Miyata: Age... It’s a full on metal assault and has ferocious riffing that would explode your granny. As for his chops ? Well the man is the Maradonna of shred. He truly has the hands of god...


This is an excellent album and I would say that it easily beats other compilations that have come before in this genre. The range and depth of the tracks are superb and the quality on offer is wide ranging. At 78 minutes long it also represents great value for money. Minor quibbles are that the production of some of the tracks have a lot of high end and woofy bottom end to them so you may want to tweak you EQ. I imagine many of the recordings are done in home studios so although very well presented they don’t have the sonic sweep that a full pro studio would offer. Some may also use electronic drums instead of real ones and this is also noticeable. This album sets a great bench mark for the 2009 contest and here’s hoping that this is a regular thing so at least we get one good guitar album a year!
