“Cool Exposure” is another
masterpiece by one of the world's greatest solo guitarists. I
cannot imagine anyone not loving this recording and playing it
over and over. Listening as a guitarist, it is dazzling how easy
Masa Sumidé makes it sound. His technique is overwhelming,
yet it always serves the music. Listening as an engineer, it is
a truly outstanding recording of guitar. Listening as a lover
of music, it is just a sheer pleasure to listen to or groove to.
If I were a DJ, I would put it on to blow everyone's mind and
get them off their feet for the first time to solo guitar. My
words do not do it justice. Truly an accomplishment!”
— Tuck Andress.
Masa Sumidé declared his great find in Alchemy™:
“Your new line of strings are amazing!”
“What I like about Alchemy™ (other than its longevity) is that they are so smooth (because of the coating?) and my fingers run easily from the first fret to the 12th fret without much squeaky finger noise. Looks like I don't need to use finger-ease anymore! My biggest problem is that my hands sweat a lot and I have to use finger-ease (like it or not) during performance. Now I've found the ultimate solution — Alchemy™! In my opinion you've succeeded in killing two birds with one stone, and I congratulate you on coming up with these magic strings.”
Masa uses Dean Markley Alchemy™ GoldPhos™ strings.
