he really underrated players of the guitar instrumental scene are scattered so far and wide throughout the world that it shouldn't surprise fans of the genre to discover a major new talent deserving wider recognition. One such guitarist is Colorado-based Dave Beegle. When he isn't recording as a solo artist, Beegle can be found performing and recording with his band Fourth Estate. Both Clear The Tracks by Beegle and Fourth Estate's "See What I See" offer a sonic spectrum of sounds for fans of hard rock instrumentals and prog-rock. Recorded a few years back, the second album from Fourth Estate, "See What I See" clearly falls into the instrumental prog-rock genre, yet there's certainly enough diverse material on it to make it of interest to jazz-rockers and heavy metal jazzers alike. Like the astounding cover art, the music on "See What I See" is like a roller coaster of progressive sounds with Beegle getting prime support from band mates Fred Babich (bass) and Dave Spurr (drums).
