    I honestly believe Misko is one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the face of this earth. The sounds he can produce are not of this world and I would be happy if I could get 1/10 this good. Still so young too, but that being said I’m surprised you’re not known worldwide. I’m sure In out lifetime you’ll be regarded as one of the greats like Beethoven level fame. Truly inspiring and clearly so passionate about your craft, I hope to see you live sometime Misko, you’re incredible!
