Mamoru Morishita, Mike Varney: yes, Mike really is the number one maven of guitar

Ever since meeting Mike Varney after NAMM last year I've known that Mike is the number one guitar fan. His recall of musicians, labels, session players, album covers for the same release was just phenomenal. My flabber was well and truly gasted! His insight into the players on albums uncanny... only Mike Blackburn was able to hold his own against the staggering memory of Mike Varney. When I was asked the big question by Mike Varney "OK, tell me a player I don't know about?"... I paused, I struggled to recall any name... then any name I recall... just anyone, is someone Mike already knows! (Oh for Internet access, google and Truth In Shredding) 

Just to prove my theory right, I thought Mike would not know Mamoru Morishita! But true to form, Mike Varney is pictured with Mamoru Morishita -Lyrical Symphony! That, my friends, means I have to go back to the woodshed and spend more time learning what real guitar knowledge is all about... Kudos to Mamoru Morishita and reigning world guitar maven... Mike Varney!
