Truth Guitar is a must have "guitar album" with well crafted guitar riffs, beautiful melodies and clever phrasing reminiscent of Satriani. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Michael Molenda of Guitar Player Magazine writes: Revving up with distorted volume swells, ..Aviator.. kicks in the burners with a propulsive and biting groove, and then lifts off with some stratospheric harmony lines. And this ..jet.. must be zooming with the Blue Angels, because there are plenty of shred-powered dives, loops, tailslides, barrel rolls, and hammerheads in this track. Eltringham..s tone is saturated, yet steely, and every note is crystal clear. In addition to being a delicious guitarfest, ..Aviator.. is also a well-written, well-produced song.

Influences: Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, King's X, George Lynch, Alex Lifeson, Neil Schon, Collective Soul
Sounds Like: A perfectly distorted furnace blast of guitar shredding through your eardrums and sending chills straight up your spine.
Record Label: MY CD IS ONLY $10.00 At CDBABY.COM & ON i-tunes!
