"He has dragged me kicking and screaming from a seat of my pants player to a more technical and skilled musician. The energy he puts into playing has inspired me to translate more emotion and intensity into my own playing. I would not be able to play what I play without his mentoring and inspiration. Don't just be a guitar player, be a musician - Al will help you get there."
