Comments from great guitarists

I first heard Satoshi Gogo play a few songs in Yokahama last year and was very impressed. Now I have listened to his first cd and all I can say is: Make more! This cd is filled with beautiful melodies...Satoshi is a very gifted guitarist and I think we will certainly hear more from him in the future.
I hope so...

Stephen Bennett


Satoshi Gogo plays with a sensitivity and musicality of a type that is rare among guitarists, and even more rare for a guitarist 16 years of age.

Muriel Anderson


Satoshi's debut recording is quite impressive, he plays with a technique and finesse of one well beyond his mere 16 years.

Alex de Grassi


Satoshi Gogo is an inventive young guitarist who plays with passion and energy. He has an appealing melodic sense, yet he can be funky as well. This debut recording shows tremendous potential. I predict Mr. Gogo will appeal to fans of fingerstyle guitar around the world.
