true, he may steal riffs from his own idols, and he admits it. pero it's all done not to mock or desecrate those other guitar gods.
think of it this way: he truly communicates using his music. and if he's saying Jimi Hendrix, you hear bits of Jimi Hendrix, or SRV, or Clapton. He's sharing his experiences through music. it's actually amazing how he goes about doing it. ang sarap pa rin pakinggan.
dati na-corny-han ako sa Room for Squares, but then i got into the nitty gritty of HOW he plays those riffs... ang galing! the album feels like driving down the highway at sunrise.
sa Try! and sa Continuum naman, he goes on to explore. they may sound sorta boring at first, pero if you take a closer listen and really let yourself FEEL the music, you'll get to appreciate it more.
fan ako. and that's my opinion.
