Album Description

Out of this World, by 19-year-old shredder Ryan Formato, is an all-instrumental first offering of highly refined neo-classical compositions that delve into shred and fusion. This is a high-energy up-tempo CD that is full of insane chops, high intensity, speed and true improvisational moments. Having picked up the guitar at age 14, this talented guitarist pours his soul into his playing and delivers a wide array of masterful instrumentals that far outreach his mere 5 years on the instrument. There are 12 tracks on Out of this World that showcase Formatos developing style. For a first offering, Out of this World is a mature realization of music played with spirit and emotion. Formato seems especially at home with all out neo-classical compositions that incorporate strong melody whilst approaching the unconventional. His timing, emotional delivery and high technical skill combine to make all of the tracks on "Out of this World" true shred heaven. At times Ryan reminds me of a young Jason Becker, one listen to the title track "Out of this World or "Purgatory" will confirm this affirmation. Other highlights of this fine CD include my favorite track "Arpeggio Autopsy" where Ryan lets loose and allows his inner sprit connection with the music to guide his thoughtful phrasing and well articulated diminished runs. Ryan has been driven to learn and incorporate as many styles of music as he can into his guitar arsenal. He has a developing sense of melody and drama, which are both displayed abundantly throughout the 12 tracks on Out of this World. Formato is a strong technician with a clean picking technique that adds power to all his solos. Other influences include Steve Vai, Michael Angelo, YJM and if one listens really closely - Randy Rhodes. <P>Drawing heavily from his influences, Formato is laying the blueprint that will one day blossom into a full on recognizable style. What he lacks in maturity he makes up for in passion and desire. I hear the making of a shred monster that over time should put this young gun at the top of his game. <P>This entire CD should send out a wake up call to aspiring shred guitarists worldwide. Ryan Formato has arrived and he's here to shred major butt! A neo-classical lover's shred fest. Formato delves into many styles on "Out of this World" and comes up with a refreshing fist offering of originality.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Great guitarist, but..........2005-09-08

He is an awesome guitarist, but I can't say the same about his songwriting skills. It's nothing really new or original. It's just a lotta balls-out shredding. Which is nice ar first, but then it gets pretty tedious after a while, and yes it does sond amatuerish, but he is an amateur. So what do you expect, and if you listen closely you can tell that he's stolen some riffs. He's plays well, but it's nothing I havn't heard before, and somtimes it's exactly what I've heard before!

4 out of 5 stars Great music........2004-12-11

Ryan Formato is one of the greatest guitarist in along time. I originally heard him on Soundclick with his songs "Arpeggio Autposy II" and "Eternal Promise". Excellent pieces, I suggest everyone search for them. I can't wait to get the CD. I would give it 5 stars, but I havent heard the whole CD yet, but from what I have.. This kid is going to be the next guitar god if things keep going his way.

1 out of 5 stars hmmm.........2004-09-07

This CD can be somewhat impressive at some points, but however the quality is very amature, and the playing could be a little cleaner, and more original. There is note for note "riff stealing" from such masters as Vai, Satriani, and Yngwie Malmsteen....Buy this Cd if you wish to hear a neo-classical fan, try to wirte his own stuff.

1 out of 5 stars Money better spent.......2004-06-30

Your money is much better spent on Mattias IA Eklundh or Ron Thal's music.
