Editor's review
"Israeli shredator Ilan Ashkenazi has mastered double-tapping, blazing sweep arpeggios, and double-time picking, expressing supreme virtuosity on his axe. Backed by stallion-strength riffs and double bass-pedal drums, these instrumentals are not for the technically disinclined. "
SETTING A NEW BENCHMARK
Bart Hodges
Exertion project
"If someone asked me who I thought was the most impressive or the greatest guitar player, I would generally throw around names like Malmsteen, Vai, and so on. If you were to ask me today, I would immediately say Ilan Ashkenazi, although I would have no idea how to pronounce the name. This artist defies all precedents and preconceptions about guitar playing, expressing to his listeners that shred is not dead; it's alive with new avenues to explore. Taking his technique above and beyond your average "virtuoso" with super-human speed and accuracy, he leaves every other guitarist choking on the dust of his unbelievable sound. The speed and accuracy that Mr. Ashkenazi demonstrates are signature elements of his sound, but he brings together a boundless grasp of musical structure and many other key technical aspects such as impressive vibrato, unrelenting control, perfect rythm, and mastery of dynamics unlike most all guitarists that play anywhere near his level. Not only is this artist a player, he's an impressive composer and has a [neo] classical sense about his music. So to every guitarist out there, this is the man to revere and the player that sets the benchmark and expresses the highest level of virtuosity. "Your musical influences

Hey Ilan, hope all is good. Just back to give your tunes a spin... you are awesome man, still one of my fave shredders !!!
Hey Ilan! I still enjoy your CD from the days when we were on MP3.com... Great to see you're still spanking the plank! Seems you're a lot closer to me now (Israel was a bit far from here). We have to hook up soon... Best wishes to you and yours!

I love stuff like this on the elctric guitar, very clever. Awsome stuff!
Woah! This is great stuff, this is like 100% prime beef! Loving the shredding, sweeping, legato every possible thing that you can do on the guitar! You could give Dragonforce a run for there money;) Keep Rocking!
