  2. He's a such a smooth guitarist. His transitioning of notes efficently make him that much more unique. His hammer-ons and bending of the strings make his music very nice to listen to.

  4. I like his style of music because it is very up beat and because of his clarity when playing notes you can actually hear a melody in his pieces. He also plays his notes pretty fast on the left hand.
