If you haven't heard the Helecasters (AKA Jon Jorgensen, Will Ray and Jerry Donahue)you're missing a treat. Variety and talent. Jerry plays cool country chicken pickin' stuff with tons of massive bends, Will plays slide and banjo style open position runs and stuff and Jon plays rock guitar stuff. They're all massively talented and gel brilliantly as a team to produce entertaining sparkling music. I recomend Hell III new axes to Grind, much ass is kicked.
