Victor Gann is rock / progressive rock musician from
Sanger, Texas,
United States of America. Victor Gann (G.I.T. graduate with degrees in Professional
Guitar and Music Harmony & Theory) released his first
instrumental (self titled) album which is a mixture of technique and feeling
in straight ahead styles.
Victor Gann is a recognized Dallas guitar player
and teacher with over 20 years experience and a student base of over 50 students.
Victor has worked with many
Hollywood and Dallas based bands including: Psychosis, Tripline, LSD, Crawling
to Heal, Drowning Rain, Nobody's Fault and Lacy Jade. He has
also taken lessons from guitar players such as: Andy Timmons, Thad Bonduris,
Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Scott Henderson, Jennifer Batten, Steve Trovato
and Nuno Bettencourt.
In 2006 Victor, teamed up with Alex Gerst, entered the studio
(itrstudio.com) to record, play and
produce an instrumental guitar album. The work that followed showcases Victor's
virtuosity on the guitar while providing
solid
melodies
and rhythms. Victor Gann explained recently: "I teach music privately
and have just finished recording my first instrumental album. Music and guitar
has taken
me all over
the land.
I've heard my songs
on the radio and have performed live on MTV. I have also been able to jam with
many of my "heroes". Life takes us on strange journeys. I've lived
on both coasts and now I am back where I started. Strange indeed."
Review of Victor Gann's CD from Radioindy.com -
Victor Gann's self-titled CD is a collection of instrumental songs that feature
Victor's
excellent guitar
work. Victor shows
his versatility on these songs, which range from full band hard rock ("Four
on the Floor", "Just Another Day", and "Not Now"),
to more subdued tracks, such as the melodic song "Migraine", and
the beautiful "Shannon with Child".
Victor's guitar
playing on the tracks is very clean and impressive. The backing band is very
tight and the recording sounds great. If you enjoy guitar virtuosos such as
Joe Satriani, you will enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today! Review of CD from
Metal Net Radio Full of chops blended with catchy melodies best describes Victor
Gann's self titled 5 song CD. All 5 songs are very strong and demand the listener
to listen over and over again, my personal fav's are track 4 "Shannon
with Child" and track 2 "Just Another Day". What's nice
about Gann's style is that its about the song first not just guitar wizard
insanity
that
plagues
most
instrumental albums. I highly recommend this disc for fans of good solid rock!
