In a few words:
If you consider that solo guitar albums albums are boring it's time to change your mind! The debut album of this great guitarist is full of melodies, nice song-structures and of course a lot of technique. Technique that only serves the songs not choking them with flat exhibitionism (the major problem of many guitar-oriented albums).

Personal highlights:
"Ner Ner", "Sevens" and "Slidey Boy"
