about

Dave’s international debut, widely regarded as a guitar album ‘classic’ by critics and fans alike.

PRESS REVIEWS

"Young Dave Sharman, is for my money the best guitar player I have heard since Vinnie Moore and Sharman’s debut, ‘1990’ is infinitely more pleasant on the ear than Vai’s ‘Passion and Warfare".
- Paul Miller, Kerrang Magazine

"Dave Sharman, with his instrumental tour-de-force, ‘1990’, may single-handedly redress the international balance, carefully blending solid song writing skills with a knock out hammering technique. ‘1990’ cooks from start to end".
- Pete Prown, Guitar For The Practicing Musician

"Dave Sharman’s ‘1990’ is one of the most audacious and appealing rock guitar instrumental albums heard in a long time. Sharman is a self-taught guitar whiz, who is unimpressed by most rock guitarists. ‘1990’ shows him to be a strong, lyrical player, with an innate sense of how to mix articulate speed runs with mature theme lines and cutting melodic solos for maximum effect. Witness a cut like ‘Borrowed Time’ which develops its mood with a huge dose of speed tapping, that swarms about your head like a cloud of belligerent gnats, before exploding into a rocking solo that serves as an emotional release before Sharman returns to that intense tapping theme, like on the following ‘Forgotten Souls’ a mysteriously developed melodic tale, Sharman impresses both with the scope of his guitar skills and his well conceived yet free spirited tunes. With a personal touch, he boldly jumps from blues to funk to metal without losing his voice. Sharman’s a true monster, and one of the best of the new breed".
- Buzz Morison, Guitar For The Practicing Musician

FAN COMMENTS

"My brother bought me a copy of the album 1990, and we were both completely enthralled! Lightning fast playing with utter precision, but more importantly, amazing and beautiful songwriting!"
- Michael Durham

"Spelbinder is the Greatist guitar shred Track of all time".
- David Corrigan

"My friend who worked for A&M records gave me a tape and said check this out you’ll appreciate this as a musician and guitar enthusiast, I listened to it and had a new guitar hero added to my list".
- Sy Hewitt
