I often think this guy's influence on modern guitar is extremely underappreciated...probably because his albums are such a bitch to find (if anyone has a copy of the Eniac Requiem album they'd be happy to sell then PM me...). So many of todays top guitarists admit to having stolen a lick or two from him though (Rusty Cooley immediately springs to mind).
Has anyone else heard his new band, Stara Zagora? Not bad in a radio rock sort of way, although I really miss the Crimeny days...

I agree.....his legato was incredible before it was trendy...Crimeny was really good to Falling in on the Alice in Chains style vocals really worked for them. He and scott stines solo sharpnel Cd's are Killer....stara Zagora is really good at what they do...sort of like aeon spoke with all the Cynic guys tons of talent but missing soul....

[distressed_romeo]

Not just his legato technique...his phrasing was really unique, and his tone and rhythm playing kicked all kinds of ass...

Santiago, didn't you study with DT at one point? What sort of stuff did you cover with him?

I would talk on the phone with him and he would send me Licks and a cassette with him playing on them for $20 back in that day (94ish)

I studied with him that way, & Derryl Gabel and another cat who also rocks Paul Aldanee.

They all had almost the same methodology. DEREK IS AMAZING AND BACK THEN he smoked everyone with the exception of holdsworth ofcourse....

[distressed_romeo]

Yeah, I've got some instructional stuff I ordered from Derryl that really helped me out (mainly ideas for playing over changes and 313-based licks). He's another insane player.

It's a real shame Derek doesn't seem too interested in lead playing anymore...

Jerich,

WOW I wasn't expecting that. Thank you man! I appreciate that especially coming from you. I am very glad you enjoy the new album

Mine (Formless) is sitting under a pyramid next to my bed collecting positive Orgone/Chi untill I am ready to hear it again and enjoy it for myself. It was such a piece of work that I decided to let the world enjoy it and stay detached from it for a bit until after the waves hit.

For now I am focused on learning Cynic Focus (A.K.A BACH INVENTIONS FOR METAL) And getting Aghora Tight for upcoming Tours & Gigs.

THANKS DUDE!

And yes for the record Derek Taylor is the MAN! I would not be playing like I do if it weren't for him. There is a solo he did on Crimeny that always gave me chills!
Derek in his peak =

PEace and Jerich see you at NAMM.

Laters

Santiago

That solo wouldn't be the one on 'Trust' would it? That one does rock very very much...

Can't wait for my copy of 'Formless' to arrive...
