Nelson, who studied with Steve Vai in his Berklee days, jazz fusion great Steve
Khan and Mike Stern has created a tour de force with his latest all-instrumental
rock/fusion solo release, entitled LOOK. - "A very diverse package that takes
the listener on a sophisticated journey through the musical mind of Paul Nelson.
His latest CD exudes boundless energy, and displays ferocious solo sections at
the same time showing us his control over an emotional side of playing all the
while holding it together with a tasteful melodic sense which comes through on
each cut".

"What else can we say about Paul Nelson except - Chops Deluxe." - Guitar World
Magazine -

"An A-List guitar player who is undeniably one of the most technically dazzling
players the world has ever known." - Guitar One Magazine -

"He's a soulful player who has chops to burn. The word 'ferocious' comes to
mind or 'take no prisoners' -" - Vintage Guitar Magazine
