Album Notes

Walt Powell has a unique style blending elements of Neo-Classical and Jazz/Fusion. He was often compared to the style of Tony Macalpine in the late 80s, but as his career has progressed, his style has diverged significantly from Macalpine's. Powell is from Columbus Ohio, a small breeding ground in the 80s for guitar shredders. He achieved widespread acclaim in central ohio, due to his technical proficiency and fusion of classical music elements with heavy rock guitar.

You got it.
author: CountryBoy
Great sound man, your tempo is perfect for the style you play. Too many of these younger people just can't hit the tempo. And without the right rythym pace no matter how good you are it will come out bad. But you have nailed it man.

Love your style... great melodies and tunes here... you are obviously very technically capable of 'going nuts' but its never at the expense of the melody... lovely tasteful stuff...

A classical melodic sensibility!!
author: Michael Molenda "Guitar Player Magazine"
Walt Powell..perhaps the only shredder to burn on a vintage Fender Mustang, Powell possesses a liquid tone, wicked technique, and a classical melodic sensibility. This adds up to the obvious Malmsteen-isms..so few points for originality, here..but Powell's jubilation as he works over the fretboard is striking, and it's hard to keep his euphoria from seeping into your synapses."
