What I would like to ascertain is whether the guy is in fact a genuine creative virtuoso, in the same league as ,say, Tony McManus or Tommy Emmanuel, or whether he is simply an average player who has succeeded in conning the critics by hiding behind a battery of effects.

He really does have some stunningly fulsome reviews, but what do critics know ...

Looks like nobody here has heard of him, maybe I will just have to buy one of his solo CDs and find out for myself.
