Jam today, jam tomorrow... enough jam for one and all... Well it's time to jam man!
These jams were recorded in the month of November 2007 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in the house of Atanas Shishkov. The idea was to put the 2 guitar players from Spiraless in one time jam session, so everything is an improvisation. On the left: Todor Peev(Blue2you), armed with Peavey Wolfgang guitar(Van Halen model)+Line 6 Pod 2.0 direct-to-disc recording. On the right: Atanas Shishkov, armed with Tom Anderson Classic guitar+Johnson J-Station direct-to-disc recording. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have.

Background
Atanas was born in Bulgaria and first started playing classical guitar in the early of 90`s. He later moved to playing rock guitar being influenced by Gary Moore and Kirk Hammett.

Having heard Yngwie Malmsteen and Joe Satriani he decided to start his own instrumental music project calld "On the Threshold" in 1994.

His influences included: Greg Howe, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert, Michael Lee Firkins, Steve Vai, Steve Morse and more. Using video lessons he was inspired to play up to 10-15 hours per day.

Since 1997 he has listened to more jazz players like Allan Holdsworth, Pat Metheny, Greg Howe, Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Mike Stern, Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour and George Benson. He hopes to incorporate a more jazz and fusion style.

He is now a big fan of guitar and his current players he listensd to includes:Dave Martone, Joel Hoekstra, Brett Garsed, T.J.Helmerich, Benny Jansson, Prashant Aswani, and Derryl Gabel.

He has been a guest columnist Chops From Hell:
In 2002 he released his first solo CD Flying Colours
