Tremendous Instumental Guitar CD!
author: Keith Hancock
Jonas has put together a fantastic group of tracks for us Shred Monkeys. I keep it in my Car's CD player for my very long commute to and from work, and the miles fly by! Very eclectic mix of styles and techniques, and memorable melodies, that will get stuck in your head and influence your fingers. He is also an incredible teacher, who is always helping out guitarists on his social pages and on instruction sites (such as Shred Knowledge). Great CD from a great guitarist and human being. BUY IT NOW, you won't regret it!

Progressive guitar palying at its best
author: Francis Voignier/guitarist
It is rare when a guitarist reaches deep into the fundamentals of music and stirs the kind of emotions Jonas Tamas's album "Sharp Guitars For A Flat Planet" brings out of me. The playing is fluid, precise and soulful, at times delicate, at others fiery... Every piece is awesomely executed and produced. The compositions convey landscapes and transport the listener into uncharted places... A masterpiece!

Great Sounds
author: Angelo Demello
This album is the reason why I love guitar instrumentals. Jonas really knows how to create catchy melodies to keep you wanting more, solos that compliment the songs and at the end of it all you are wanting more. This is a very good debut solo album from a creative and talented musician!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

"Sharp guitars" is far from a generic shred cd. Yes Jonas can pull rippling arpeggios out of nowhere and treverse the fretboard in fluid and melodic fashion, but it's his compostional flair that makes his music stand out. An usual cocktail of sounds is another factor, very crunchy rhythm guitars, celestial sci-fi string washes and soaring vai-esque lead tones... lovely!
