On "The Earth Says Hello...", Texas shredder Doug Stapp combines solid melodies, heavy riffs, fast licks and lots of squeals to form the basis for his debut for the Progressive Arts Music label. The album features the blistering single "Frankenstein", which features him dueling with former Haji's Kitchen guitarist Scott Stein. The track can also be heard on the release "Guitar Masters Vol. #1", along with Steve Morse, Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, John Scofield and others. CD comes with a bonus DVD that features a clinic performance, in-studio feature and more. CD is enhanced with lick transcriptions in both PowerTab and PDF formats.
