Silkroad/Kinu-Michi - 1st

Koji Tsumoto
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Silkroad/Kinu-Michi - 1st is actually Japanese guitarist Koji Tsumoto's second all instrumental CD, and this one is billed as "the ultimate modal instrumental progressive rock from Asia" - just the beginning of the 32-Year-Project. Tsumoto uses an arsenal of Ibanez guitars to deliver a wide range of textures, tones and moods within a hard rock context. Exhilarating and packed with interesting guitar moments, Silkroad/Kinu-Michi - 1st has fourteen tracks which place the spotlight on Tsumoto's playing and really show what he can do. You'll hear blazing single string moments, exotic scales, stellar rhythm work and more - all eminating from Tsumoto's blistering bag of tricks. Well worth checking out.
