Regarding George‘s approach to instrumental albums, the virtuoso states: “I always focus on creating guitar-driven music that delivers something outside the realm of what most people would expect, coming from a semi-redeemed ’80s hair shredder. I want my instrumental records to be challenging, but not exhausting; personal, without being belligerently self-indulgent, include a fair amount of guitar histrionics, and pay tribute to the masters without making it sound like I’m competing to be the end-all summation of all guitar legacies that preceded me. I also wanted the underlying music to be more than vehicles for solos, I want the compositions to stand on their own.”
