About Me

Quotes on Cosmic Playground
"There must be a lot of monkey bars and turbo-tube slides in DeGeorge's playground. It's fun to zoom through all the melodies, wah stabs, keyboard flurries, shred bits and harmony solos, and then collapse with giddy exhaustion." - Guitar Player magazine
"If there's justice in the world, Rod DeGeorge will be one of the brightest stars amongst 21st century new guitar heroes. This is one of the hottest guitar instrumental records in the last few years. A must buy, no doubt about it!" - 10 out of 10 points, Gyorgy Danev, HammerWorld Magazine Hungary
"Check out this adventurous young fella:" "his playing is very exciting, and his technical proficiency is quite admirable" - Elliott Randall (Steely Dan/Solo Artist)
â€œAssuming that this is his debut release, it almost frightens me what we may see in the future from this incredibly talented musician. Rod DeGeorge is a player to be reckoned with, and a player to watch. Cosmic Playground is more than a calling card...itâ€™s a full-on statement of purpose that he has arrived and demands your attentionâ€ â€“ Bill Knispel Progscape.com
