They're way better than a lot of the stuff I get that are actually on bigger labels. It's your turn now, definitely so! GREAT!" /Janne Stark - guitarist & journalist "Sweden Rock Magazine" & "Fuzz Magazine"....... "I loved that man. Very cool tones and textures. The intro was killer with those tones and I very much like the sitar melody part. I like real sensitive stuff like that ya know. Thanks for sharing your stuff bro....Keep doing more. I tell ya...If you did a whole song in that style with accoustic, banjo tones and sitar..I would love to hear that. Very unique." /Doug Aldrich - Whitesnake, about "The Little Italian"........ "Very nice stuff. You have a real smooth manner to your playing. Very cool." /Dave Weiner - Solo artist, guitar player Steve Vai & The Breed......... "I love the approach you have in your stuff.." /Joop Wolters - Guitar Wizard...... "Nice to listen to. You play very well, clean & nice. Very impressive. A lot of good ideas in your playing and well performed. I would love to see you perform live, I think that would make me very happy". /Magnus Olsson - Ibanez & DiMarzio Guitar Wizard......"Whitesnake guitarist Doug Aldrich beat Guitar Player to discovering Karlsson, and I agree with Aldrich’s review that this song has “very cool tones and textures.” It also boasts some very twisted lines, intense shredding, and a sitar melody." /Guitar Player magazine sep 2006 about the song "The Little Italian"......
