To listen to any guitar virtuoso tell their story through mastery of their instrument is awe-inspiring. To hear guitar virtuoso Walt Powell tell his story through his trusty Ibanez is to experience a musical tour de force. Walt Powell serves up his technical chops with the kind of musical chutzpah reserved for those technicians at the top of their game. Listening to Walt Powell's album "Fire From The Fretboard" only further solidifies that fact.Powell leaves no doubt with the listener as to his pedigree both as a shredder and a composer as he lures us to incredible heights with his solo "Neo-Classical Dreams". He holds us aloft in an electrically-charged atmosphere with his incendiary brand of fretboard pyrotechnics, and keeps us captive until the final refrains of the song. Then and only then does he let us go. It is this level of skill and ability that cements him firmly in the star-studded company of guitar virtuosos like Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani and Eddie Van Halen, to name a few.
