Satch

WTF? Cheesy 80's guitar hero makes music I really dig. Obviously, chops out the wazoo, but believably in the service of music. Great way with his newer melodies; simple yet sophisticated, leaving the response to the mind of the listener, a la Wayne or Miles themes. Wonderful tone. Newer tunes have short, discrete solos; the older ones have themes that are not as satisfying, but he really owns them and the solos build beautifully. Rhythm is great; they don't freelance much, but kick butt and are tasty.
