Eclectic Instrumental Rock Guitar
Bio / Background
Press Release for "The Dragon"
"Simon has a style of his own and he's breaking new eclectic ground"
Mike Varney Guitar Player Magazine
Simon Gardner is a Brisbane based guitarist who has appeared in the international magazine Guitar Player,national and local street press, has released three albums of instrumental guitar and continues to push the envelope in the genre with his latest release The Dragon.
The Dragon is brilliantly written,virtuosically played and packed full of emotion. Like Simon's previous releases, it is an eclectic recording, ranging from bone crunching rock to blues to country. All of the compositions have soaring memorable melodies and could easily find themselves getting commercial airplay.
Simon's influences are also eclectic.

Gardner unleashes six-string cunning with "The Dragon"HB88 wrote on November 21, 2008
Simon Gardner's "The Dragon" offers a smorgasbord of riffs, tones and licks for fans of rock guitar. A number of tunes, such as the rock ballad "Goodbye" display an apparent Eric Johnson influence here and there; as a matter of fact one might listen to the recording as though listening to one of Steve Morse's "Major Impacts" disks, listening for the various influences. However "The Dragon" puts the influences in a blender. The result is not a homogeneous concoction but a base made up of Gardner's sprawling-yet unified compositions with little chunks of outside influence occurring throughout. The finished product is quite tasty.
