Assaulting the instrumental rock guitar fan with shredded bliss is Ron Jarzombek's CD Solitarily Speaking Of Theoretical Confinement, laying out 45 songs (and 'songlets') over 45 minute time span. If you remember 4th grade math, that's about a song a minute, with "Snuff" taking long song honors at a whopping 2 minutes and 46 seconds. What you get is a taste of incredible virtuosity that changes emphasis at a dizzying pace - never ponderous or boring, just high-tech, high-energy guitar work and rhythmic intensity. Jarzombek keeps the creative level high by including tracks in 5/4 ("Gimme 5"), 'spelling' out his name using the 'diatonic alphabet' ("In The Name Of Ron"), and two-handed tapping duels ("Battle Of The Hands"). Highly recommended.
