Last Friday’s performance was interesting  as each performer was very different in terms of the genre, musicianship and approach.

We had Prakhar Sood on the console who did a commendable job and as usual we had Frank on the judging panel, all by himself this time.

First up we had Jared Tasho who played the Mike Stern tune ‘Chromazone’. The song started off smoothly with a fast groove. He had a  saxophone player playing in unison with his guitar lines which was new territory for him and the coordination between the two was commendable. As the song progressed, he chose to improvise and came up with very nice phrase in the middle section of the song. It was very well appreciated by the audience and added true entertainment value to the song. However towards the endof the song, the band had trouble perfecting the obscure fills of the drummer but were able to pull it off at the last moment.

Our 2nd Performer for the evening was Nick Hogan, who was attempted to sing and play guitar for the first time. He chose to perform ‘Stop this train’by John Mayer.It was a very good effort on his part and we would love to see him grow in his new avatar.

Next up was Khai-Meng, a talented musician on bass.It was a surprise for some as he played the piano for his last performance. Nevertheless , he came up with a good performance playing a Japanese pop song.

Muhammad Husni was the 4th performer who played a Marty Friedman track. He had a nice tone and played with good taste. However, some of his technical skills let him down but he pulled it off in the end. A good effort  on his part.

Last but not the least was Rohnie Tan, He played the violin accompanied by only an acoustic guitar and came up with the best performance of the evening. He had great tone and played some nice lines which got the crowd into the act.

It was no surprise when Rohnie Tan was declared the winner of Week 6. We hope to see better and  more entertaining performances from him in the near future.
