This is the album that made famous. On what was actually his second set of unaccompanied guitar solos ( from a month earlier was released years later), shows that it is possible to play unaccompanied versions of such uptempo tunes as and on guitar. not only performs the melodies and heated solos, but provides basslines and harmonies while using a conventional technique (unlike 's later tapping). would record many unaccompanied recordings and perform at numerous solo concerts during the next 20 years; this is the set that started it all, and it is a certified classic. An essential CD. ~ Scott Yanow
