The song "Silvia" from focus was one of the first songs i learned on the guitar. He is indeed an incredible player. He's not only able to play pretty fast but he also has a great feeling for timing and phrasing. One of the best players ever! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But I have to see more videos of him. My dad also wants to check him out in a concert (with me). and I cant wait You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
