2. Toshi Iseda
The official site of guitar virtuoso, Toshi Iseda.
Born in Chicago Illinois, and after being mesmerized by his uncle Jeff Brown playing guitar, Toshi Iseda was inspired to pick up the guitar. A guitarist since the 7th grade, Toshi has become known as THE prominent up-and-coming guitarist in the Midwest. In the "beginning", he was inspired by listening to a lot of different kinds of music, but especially that of KISS, Aerosmith and Peter Frampton (The song "Do You Feel Like We Do?" had a profound affect on Toshi). He then was motivated to practice up to 2 hours a day when first learning how to play.
Toshi's first "serious" influences were guitarist such as Rock greats Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Adrian Vandenberg (when he was in the band Vandenberg), Uli Jon Roth, Jimi Hendrix, and Michael Schenker among others.
After reading an interview with then UFO guitarist Michael Schenker in an issue of Guitar Player Magazine where Schenker spoke of how he practiced as many as 4 hours a day when starting, Toshi decided it was time to up the stakes on his practice regime. Toshi then started practicing up to 5 hours a day in order to play like Mike! Toshi eventually worked his practice schedule up to 15 hours a day!!! This practice schedule also included Toshi's classical guitar studies which he had later taken up after hearing about Randy Rhoads' classical influence. Toshi's classical guitar influences include Christopher Parkening, Andreas Segovia, Liona Boyd, John Williams and Julian Bream. Later his Rock influences would include Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Paul Gilbert (circa Racer X), Jason Becker - basically the whole Shrapnel records collection -, George Lynch, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai ...

The buzz on Jennifer Batten began rising from the guitar underground in the late '80's. The guitar magazines promptly picked up on Jennifer, chronicling her savvy musicianship and highly original approach to the electric guitar in print. On Guitar for the Practicing Musician's premier compilation record, G.P.M.'s editor wrote, "It was Jennifer's version of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" that was considered by her peers the 'scariest'and most requested cut on the disc."
At one point Batten was in 6 different bands at once playing everything from straight ahead rock, to metal, to fusion, to funk. Her video credits have included Natalie Cole's "Wild Women Do", Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker", Sara Hickman's "Take It Like A Man", and a feature interview in Hot Guitarist's video magazines premier issue ...

Classical Guitarist Rémi Boucher was born in 1964 in Rouyn-Noranda (Québec Canada). He studied the classical guitar at the Montreal Conservatory with Jean Vallières and afterwards completed his studies in Spain (with J. Henriquez, J. L. Rodrigo, V. Mikulka, David Russell, M. Barrueco), in Belgium at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp with (V. van Puijenbroeck) and in Switzerland at the Basel Academy with O. Ghiglia. He is now living in Austria. Those travels would not have been accomplished without the aid of the "Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec" and the Canada Council, which not only offered him many grants, but the Sylva Gelber Award, making Rémi Boucher the first guitarist in 30 years to win this honor! In addition to his many national and international prizes, in less than 18 months, Rémi Boucher has conquered Europe, America and Asia winning at the unanimously
the first prize in five of the most important international music competitions. (Alessandria in Italy, Andrès Segovia in Palma de Mallorca in Spain, Havana in Cuba, Mauro Guiliani in Turin, and Fernando Sor in Roma).
With such success, he was invited by many major symphonic orchestras giving him the opportunity to perform up to ten of the greatest guitar concertos and having the privilege to play under the direction of Leo Brouwer, the famous Cuban composer.
His love and relationship with other cultures, and his interest in all kinds of instruments, helped him to discover new technical possibilities which allow him to enlarge the capabilities of the instrument. A pioneer in that domain, he collaborates closely with composers to create a repertory that serves these new musical possibilities. To study those techniques Rémi Boucher has also created a series of his own compositions and a new technical method. His most recent success was the result of seven years collaboration with his favorite composer and pianist Canadian Jacques Marchand ...
