Bob Ernst is a master craftsmen running the gamut of all out blues
to refined fusion ... emotionally infused
blues / shred soloing ... outside
the box solo flurries ... an unbelievable sense of timing
and melody, very lyrical ... a unique
very identifiable style."

A well rounded Composer and Guitarist ...This CD goes from spacious
light Jazz sounds to Heavy Rock to Electrified Blues ... at times
borrows from the past, while all the time lurching forward, forging
new grounds ! ... a highly tasteful player ... Bob kicks it into
shred mode when needed ... This is the real
thing ! "

"Fans
of guitar instrumental have a new artist to keep their ears on:
New Jersey's
Bob Ernst ... This EP/CD shows some very different sides to the
guitarist - from
near-psychedelia to electric blues to cool
melodic sounds to soaring rock leads
... his talent and his ability to blend style make him worth a
listen. "

Quality Music."

"
HANDS-ON is an anomaly in today's music scene. Here is
an EP that introduces an artist unconcerned with trends or fads;
from the 9th chords and signature motif of the title track to
the ethereal tones of "Desert Flower", HANDS-ON reveals
an artist with real musical vision
and the talent to put it all together ... A noteworthy debut from
an artist whose muse will lead to????... Stay tuned for the next
CD. "
