20th CENTURY GUITAR
Great classical music masters of the past have always been admired by rock fans. Now California-based guitarist Danney Alkana puts a new spin on the term classical rock. Arranging 10 memorable themes of Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Paganini and more for Stratocasters and synthesized strings, Alkana fearlessly fuses the realms of classical and rock. Even more amazing is that Alkana performs all the instruments himself – from multi-tracking the guitars to playing keyboards, bass and drums. With this much talent and musical know-how, it's hard to believe that the all instrumental "Rock the Bach" is Alkana's first major project. In the interesting liner notes, Alkana admits he's a confirmed rock fan, who bought his first guitar after hearing Jeff Beck's "Truth" album. On "Rock the Bach", Alkana expertly blends his knack for playing heavy metal guitar with his love of timeless Baroque and Renaissance music.

Dear Danney, I am afraid you are wrong on She's Got It / On The Run. I took Randy's original rhythm guitar off and re-did it myself. This is Bob at his best on Rhythm Guitar. However, you play one burnin' solo! First song on my profile now.
Just like I said - Ritchie is always great live. Got move up to the 3 minute position to hear him as the video guys moves to his side of the stage. LOVE IT!
