Tom
I like his version when I first heard it and still do because to me he was putting himself into the work as opposed to play exactly as written. It was his arrangement and felt like a part of himself was given to it to make it entirely his own. I liked the gentle treatment and feeling expressed.

After I heard Rob, his version is technically superior to my ear, It was performed as written yet had the artist emotions coming though in the playing . To my ear Rob is a superior guitarist hands down, but I don't really compare them for Qualey was doing more of an interpretation of a work that he was attempting to make his own. Both quite beautiful in their own regard- to my ear anyway.
