For all you \'heads out there, check out Joe Stump. He shreds like Yngwie but actually puts more soul into it, thus making it a tad better. I\'m a huge Yngwie fan from way back in the day, but after I heard and met Joe, it was like a god had come down the mountain to be with his people!! :laugh:
I don\'t have any clips to attach here but check out his site:[url=\"http://www.joestump.com\"]JOE STUMP[/url] for more info with downloads and such.
We have a promoter here in Rochester NY that brings him here every six months or so, under the moniker of \'ShredFest\', bringing together the best guitar talent locally and abroad. I know he\'s tried to get Michael Angelo here, but he wanted too much money and accomodations. Joe comes here in an Enterprise van (which includes the two other members of the band, gear, AND wardrobe) all the way from Boston MA and stays in a Motel 6. And has been doing this an average of twice for the past four years!!!! This guy teaches guitar privately, as well as thru the Berkley School of Music in Boston, so he really doesn\'t need to make the trip here so often. THAT\'S Joe stump, ya\'ll!!! Check him out!!
ok, I\'ll step off my shredbox now. Thanks for all the posts of awesome guitar players. I\'m definitely gonna look more into Michael Angelo and J. Becker.
And EVOL, Doyle is god, just in another way!! ha ha :thumbsup:
BTW, let\'s not forget my \'lil bro Ben, who plays a MEAN ASS blues guitar (when he\'s not pleasing this board constantly with his wicked Fright Rags designs!! ha ha) I can\'t wait to jam with ya again, buddy!!
