graduate of the G.I.T. in L.A., guitar ace Dave Odegaard takes the guitar scene by
storm on Second Attention. An impressive mix of weighty progressive rock and heavy
guitar ballads, the all instrumental CD pairs Odegaard's electric guitar with the
bass and drums of Wade Biery and John Cardoso. According to the guitarist, "What I
went for was a reckless abandon attitude towards playing." Odegaard's free-spirited
guitar work is reminiscent of the flashy, innovative metal-rock work of Steve Vai
and even the melodic, pulsating, instrumental techo-rock of Jan Hammer. Loaded with
an abundance of sonic surprises, Second Attention is a fine showcase for Odegaard's
formidable fretboard expertise.
