Incredible instrumental rock guitarist Bob Savage.
by Ken on Mar.22, 2007, under Music
A friend turned me onto this guy Bob Savage that’s an instrumental guitarist in similar fashion to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Gary Hoey. If you are a fan at all of instrumental rock or just rock in general then you NEED to give Bob’s music a listen. You can freely download his CD Retrofitted from his website in either VBR MP3′s and Linux friendly OGG file clips at http://www.bobsavage.net. Way to go Bob. We need more people like this to bring back melodic rock music. Maybe there’s a G3 concert in Bob’s future? I know I’d go and see it!!!
Update: Bob told me that he will add full OGG versions as soon as he can.
