The Guitars That Rule The World vol 1

Guitars That Rule the World may be a dubious title ? no matter how talented they are, it's hard to imagine Richie Kotzen or Reb Beach reigning surpreme over anything ? but for guitar fanatics, the budget-line collection may be worth a look. Each of the guitarists are given leeway to run free, performing their own compositions. Naturally, each takes the opportunity to play as much as possible ? these aren't really songs, they're excuses fo lengthy solos. Each of the guitarists acquits themselves well and the record is surprisingly diverse, ranging from uncontrollable metal and frazzled hard-rock, to blues and lyrical pop. If you're not a guitarist or guitar fanatic, Guitars That Rule the World is bound to sound a little tedious ? after all, it's nothing but a guitar showcase ? but for fans of hard-rock and lite-metal guitarists, this certainly offers some intriguing moments.
