Rodrigo Y Gabriela

[Carnage]

So.. I was passing by sounds on Cuba Street on Friday and called in for a look. Some wicked sounding acoustic guitar tunes were playing in the background. After hearing two songs I HAD to buy the album: Rodrigo Y Gabriela. Listened to the whole thing that night and was blown away. There are a couple of really nice covers on the album (Stairway to Heaven like I've never heard it, and Metallica's Orion).
Anyone looking for something a bit different, with some amazing guitar tunes should check it out. The bonus for me, was the free dvd that came with it with a full live concert and guitar tutorial. Check it out here:
