About Me

...what Guthrie Govan has to say: "What Thomas does with an acoustic guitar probably shouldn't be legal. Not only does he elicit a wide variety of sounds from the instrument which the rest of us simply can't find, he also manages to utilize this unique vocabulary in an incredibly musical way. His pyrotechnic playing style has to be seen to be believed, but perhaps the most impressive thing about his technique is that it's never used gratuitously; it always serves a musical purpose. Getting that balance right is one of the toughest challenges facing any serious musician... but Thomas always makes it look effortless. Highly recommended! -G .."
