Jams all over the place! July 13, 2010

The first tune, Lay It Down, with Ritenour and John Scofield sets the tone. They have a scorching "call and response" that takes up about the lasst two minutes of the song. Gentlemen, would you consider doing a duo project - wow! Each genre of songs is awesome for its kind: the blues tunes are awesome, the rock tunes are awesome, the acoustic tunes are awesome. Fnatastic CD!
Great Production and Crankability, Solid CD July 22, 2010

Everyone needs a few CDs in their arsenal to use as, "Show Off" recordings for their car audio system or home stereo. This is one of them. The mix, clarity and production of this CD is outstanding. Crank it up!
The music is great too. I became a fan of Lee Ritenor after picking up his "Wesbound" CD on which he pays tribute to Wes Montgomery. But make no mistake, this is NOT a smooth jazz recording. It's a mix of blues, jazz, fusion, rock and even classical. There's something here for everyone.
I HIGHLY recommend this record!
AWESOME !!! July 3, 2010

[...]...[...].....The CD is Lee Ritenour's 6 String Theory....anyone who paid attention to the promo's should know that Rit invited many of the greatest guitarists currently alive, over 20 of them, to record a project in complete devotion to teh guitar and several forms of playing it.
The only Cd in recent memory with so many heavyweights was Les Paul's tribute CD a few years back. This CD grooves you, ROCKS like you can't imagine, Moves you in so many places musically that no one "FORMAT" will define this project other than ONE word.....
AWESOME
A partial list of the talent.... BB King, SLASH, John Scofield, Vince Gill, George Benson, Steve Lukather, Neal Schon, Keb Mo, Joe Bonamassa, Pat Martino, Mike Stern, Robert Cray...and there is more...you get the idea
My CD arrived as I had pre-ordered this based on seeing Lee Ritenour live in Santa Monica CA last Feb and at Cap Jazz Festival in Baltimore MD several weeks ago...had no idea what I was in store for....
Simply Put ....this CD has blown me away...it will do the same to you or you are deaf, dumb or have no taste in the celebration of music made with a guitar!!
Outstanding assortment of guitar talent July 19, 2010

This album is a true treat to music and guitar lovers. The assortment of talent, genres and approaches keeps this compelling from beginning to end. Lee Ritenour did an incredible job of assembling this top-flight selection of well-known, lesser-known, and unknown artists into a coherent and polished final product. Highly recommended.
Amazing! July 10, 2010

Wow, what an awesome (albeit unexpected) treat to hear Ritenour return to his fusion roots, joined by a cavalcade of 6 string luminaries! Lee's "smooth jazz" fans will definitely be in for a surprize. A kickin, "must have" record by ANY standard. Thanks Lee!
