Damn I'm digging this guy at the moment. Heard of him a while ago & really loved the strat sound that he got, but I've just checked out the demo DVD he's got in the latest issue with Guitarist & it's amazing. Tons of tone & talent to burn, not your usual wanky solo guitar stuff.

You are absolutely right and indeed Hunter pointed out a nice clip of him of YouTube in a thread about Strat pickups and I found myself looking for more of him.His Strat tones stand out. His playing is wonderful.Like you, I wasn't at all familiar with him-makes you think what other undiscovered marvels are out there-isn't it great?

Iv'e just spent the last 30 minutes wondering where I first saw / heard his playing and it was over at http://www.licklibrary.com/TutorialsVideos.aspx?Section=7# (though you may need to register to see the videos, I'm not sure).

Just an aside but the Jonny Hiland videos are even more impressive (though it's wierd seeing a PRS and hearing something very like a tele)

Blug is an excellent player. Reminds me of Eric Johnson a bit, same sort of fluidity in the way they construct solos, and of course tone-wish not a million miles apart either.

Thomas Blug is indeed an axcellent player. I bought his DVD last year at music live and had a chat to him about the Hughes and Kettner amps he was demoing,nice friendly chap. Also check him out on the Hughes and Kettner website some tasty playing on there.
cheers
