A new tallent I discovered , if you dig neoclassical chek this out !

[Alex-D33]

There's not a lot of info on him online unfortunately, as he's mostly involved in production rather than actually playing guitar. He did a couple of albums for Shrapnel (one solo album, one .00 Spool album, the Eniac Requiem album, and the Crimeny album). He was a big influence on Scott and Brett Stine, Derryl Gabel and Rusty Cooley, who all had lessons with him. Stephan Forte's a big fan as well. Santiago Dobles (Aghorasilat on these boards) also had lessons with him, so he's probably the guy to ask if you want more info. Do a search on his name, as we had a pretty interesting, informative thread on him a while ago.

He developed the legato approach to soloing a lot, particularly the 313 approach to scales and arpeggios, and the 'spocking' technique (tapping with the middle and ring fingers of the right hand). He was also experimenting with super-low tunings and seven strings pretty early compared to most shredders.

It's a bitch to find, but check out the Crimeny album, 'Peat', as that has awesome songs and some insane playing.

Hey ! thanks a bunch DTR sending a PM to Santiago .

actually it was derryl that came up with the 313313 stuff based off of pentatonics.

Derek had more the 3 note per string legato and traveling in octaves, spocking & also great legato arpeggios.


both are insane players and truly pioneers..
