Sounding at times like a cross between Larry Carlton and Carlos Santana, his emotional blues-bebop style incorporates beautifully phrased lines with quick melodic runs." Guitar Player, Octuber, 1985,U.S.A. "Spotlight, Mike Varney, Showcase For New Talent" "Cuando tu regreses ("When you Return") viene a ser el primer trabajo discográfico de este excelente guitarrista.
