Alan Renkl is a progressive guitarist and composer. All of his music is instrumental and his sounds vary from traditional heavy rock to mellow acoustic guitar even with some electronic sampling included in the mix. He was influenced early on by bluegrass and flatpicking guitar and likes to take the opportunity to incorporate that natural, traditional sound into his music.
Just like to say the song balance is "pretty mean" not since the awaking of Joe Sat, Steve Vai, Micheal Angelo and other elite musicians has enyone composed a great melody... Keep it coming, I got my ears open for more...
