He laced the likes of 'De el pobo' with improvised, speedy solos way up into the wailing region of the fingerboard..." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "A modern master of the classical guitar... David Rogers has a remarkable grasp of 16th Century Baroque guitar music 20th Century Guitar “He plays incredibly well” Paul McCandless, OREGON
