Known for his amazing speed on the six string through his work with the band Airless, Robert R. Rodrigo strikes back with his 2007 solo album "Half Finger On The Moon". His fleet fingers are showcased on energetic numbers such as "Fury Of The Universe" and "Race In Flames". Entirely self-produced and self-recorded, "Half Finger On The Moon" transcends virtuosity, offering a sonic landscape in which hard rock lovers can surround themselves. Songs like "Golden Tears" and "Three Minutes In San Francisco" feature an emerging sentiment, displaying both melancholy and euphoria. © 1996-2013 Guitar Nine All Rights Reserved http://www.guitar9.com/news2007-12.html
Phenomenal instrumental guitar disc by incredibly gifted axemaster Robert R. Rodrigo from Spain. Featuring 11 tracks of mind-blowing riffage/playing and remarkable bluesy lead solo's complete with super-human technique and feel. Strong compositions, outstanding "tones" and brilliant dynamic guitar playing rule in the world of Robert R. Rodrigo. Definitely, one of the best obscure guitarists we have heard in years, Rodrigo plays with vast amounts of style, class and authority...the sign of a true Guitar Hero. "Half Finger On The Moon" is not your typical, boring instrumental guitar "shred" disc. It is, however, a first-class, intelligent, superb, awe-inspiring 6 string "musical journey" from a gifted, obscure, world-class axemaster who has a lot to say on the instrument. Highly Recommended to fans of Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, Shawn Lane, Michael Lee Firkins and other outstanding shred-masters of the Guitar. © 1996 - 2014 CD Universe; Portions copyright 1948 - 2014 Muze Inc. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7793279&style=music&fulldesc=T
