Artist description Tony Harlan is a guitar player who doesn't take himself too seriously. He writes primarily instrumental songs, with plenty of self-indulgent guitar playing, but he doesn't "shred" every chance he gets. Tasty blues licks, interesting phrasing, and yes, some very fast picking make up this artist's arsenal of musical weaponry. If you like the guitar you will LOVE this guy! He plays in a band called 44MAG. Check out their mp3.com site, or click on the link to their official website on this page.
