Kosta Vreto: greek rebel review

Kosta Vreto - Skin On Strings (Steel Gallery)

Who said that only the outer turns talented virtuoso guitarists; Costas Vretos is one of them! First solo work for the guitarist Horizon's End and, like 80% of solo discs circulating out there, and that is a mix of progressive rock elements with jazz and fusion. But that does not do equal and identical with that move out there. Costas Vretos not put a bet with himself about how quickly can play and how many scales can play while scratching his back. All twelve tracks on the disc moving in a medium tempo and generally mildly. That is not to expect throughout the duration of the pro-space to solo more strange scales, but pretty emotional playing that brings speed only when needed. As each progressive album category, so this is accompanied by the necessary keys per occasion before making an atmosphere behind the piece and sometimes they get first place solarontas. And to break the ice the track''Love For Sale''is the only one with vocals from start to finish. But because we have to change a little the scene amid the disk home and found two very beautiful pieces played only acoustic guitar with one of these is the epilogue of the disc. Very good impression on his first job with very catchy melodies and not fetched things but should the next album might give a little more variety in his compositions. If you are a fan of Kiko Loureiro, Satriani and Steve Vai, then do not hesitate to listen to the album.
