Man, if you dig the country shred thing, you'll most definitely dig some Hellecasters! My uncle got me into these guys the same year I started playing and though I turned into a fairly devout metalhead, I still listen to these albums all the time.
This song is somethin' else. John Jorgensen does this one and his touch is just ridiculous, the swelling feedback...the build ups...then that, well, you'll hear it-
Goddammmmnnn Jerry Donahue can tear it up! They all can....but man, that B-bender stuff is slick!
Then of course there's Andy Wood, who is a Fractal boy like the rest of us, but that's literally the only similarity because Andy is on a different planet than everyone else.
