Igor Paspalj (World renowned guitarist) - 'I love Samuel's playing, especially his sense of melody. His instrumental works have beautiful lyrical touch to it, with some great climaxes and transitions between thematic and more improvised material'
Trev Wilkinson (Wilkinson Guitar Hardware) - I have worked with many guitar players in my 35 years in the music business. The majority were unbelievably good but usually in a specific "Genre" Sam is exceptional on many fronts. He encompasses so many styles and is a true "virtuoso" He can "shred" with the best but more importantly he knows when to stop ! His rock playing is world class, as is his Jazz ( both traditional and gypsy) He understands melody and not only can he write, he can arrange, produce and perform. Rarely do you get all these attributes in the one "Package"He is a multi instrumentalist and his understanding of guitars and how to get the best out of them as a musical instrument is a rare asset to my business. Take a listen and be "Amazed"

Paul Rose (Gerry McAvoy Band of Friends) - 'Sam is a very talented and hardworking professional'
