Marcel Coenen - Guitar Talk (1999)

Dutch guitarist Marcel Coenen, winner of the 1998 Best Rock Guitarist award at the Dutch National Guitar awards, talks about the music on his all instrumental shred/metal solo album "Guitartalk", "This CD is the result of years of long hours of practicing, writing, buying a drum machine, learning how to use it, buying a 4-track, learning how to use that, and then recording the stuff. I recorded these songs in order to enter the Dutch National Guitar contests in 1998. Some songs were ready, so I sent them to the organization and won 'Best Rock Guitarist' of the Netherlands. These songs also appeard on the "Guitartalk" demo cassette. Later, I wrote more songs and put them on CD. For the Dutch contest I had to rearrange the national anthem, which I did in a very heavy way. I also got an endorsement with Ibanez Guitars, so I wrote a lot more songs to play during clinics."
