Leaving The Scene

A Guitar Nine favorite, New York area guitarist Dave Atherton's Leaving The Scene delivers more of his trademark ripping, squealing guitar style reminiscent of Warren DiMartini and George Lynch. Picking up where his debut CD, "Purist" left off, Leaving The Scene features ten, all instrumental, hard rock tracks full of flying fingers, bellicose guitar riffs and grooves, and gracefully fluid solos. Atherton is one of a few shredders who can convincingly pull off cool-sounding songs in major keys - and his vibrato is a killer. Atherton's musical goals include stressing the melody and the high tech all at once - the fiery guitar work on Leaving The Scene will appeal greatly to fans with the same goals for their listening experience.
