A pretty good artists actually two of them. Sort of like an acoustic Spanish mix. I would compare them to SRV or Santana only acoustic. Very good and warm music. Should check them out.

    I have been curious about this artist - have heard a couple of their songs on XM recently. Might have to get one of their CDs.

    They are not bad...I like the percussion use on the guitar bodies while they are playing. BUT, they - contrary to popular belief by certain FYE employees - do not put Santana "to shame"!

    They're nothing like SRV or Santana, but they are very good. They play classical spanish guitar with heavy metal influence. Think Metallica meets mariachi.

    I agree but I do not listen to Metallica so I would not know if they are like them.

    Well, since they were both in the same heavy metal band it would make sense for some influence :) They are superb, but for FYE to say they put Santana to shame is pretty lame as they have totally different styles. On their self-titled album they do a version of "Stairway to Heaven" and "Orion" :D

    I saw them live a couple years ago, and have all of their recordings. To see them live it's just great, not only are their guitars used as stringed instruments, but percussive as well. They beat the hell out of them =). Nothing like SRV or Santana, but I'm not sure what I would say it IS like. Rodrigo was a guitarist for a mexican death metal band before he started this project with his (now) wife. I love it and would recommend it to anyone!
