Recent UNTOLD STORIES REVIEWS

”For the Fans of Jeff Beck, Steve Lukather and Gary Moore” -Eclipsed Rock Magazine, DE

"One of the Best guitarists of our time". And even better: "Jartse´s guitarwork can be compared to Al Di Meola, Steve Vai or Steve Morse...and he definitely does not need to hide behind them.” -Nemesis Rocks, DE 22.4.2016

"Fazit: Unfassbar großartig. Conclusion: Incredibly great." -Metalglory Magazine, DE 17.5.2016
"Jartse Tuominen has resolved a mystery of how to create instrumental songs a voice. The greatest difficulty in instrumental albums usually is that the player scales up and down with speed leaving no space to feeling. Jartse quite the opposite gives songs a soul with melody....and plays himself to listeners hearts."

"Extraordinary is the opening track of ´Untold Stories´ and the Finnish Sixstringer can be defined with the same description..... Jartse has an enormous stylistic bandwith in portfolio, which he uses here giving his best on this impressive instrumental album.... ´Metal Heaven´ chose him as one of the Top guitarists in Europe - with a good reason!" -Planet Music Magazine, Austria 2/2016

This album is bound to please fans of both classic and progressive rock. Jartse Tuominen has proven that he is a very talented, highly skilled guitar player and composer. I’d think that any decent classic rock bar or lounge would like to add his new songs to their playlist. -Valkyrian Music, UK 12.4.2016 (4/5 stars)

"Finnish guitarist Jartse Tuominen is definitely "the next thing”, the ultimate star at guitar cosmos!” -German Music Newsletter, DE 14.3.2016 (9/10 stars)

"The Finn is one of a kind and his credits and crown ´The King of Instrumental Fusion´ are well-deserved." -Metal Underground, AT 20.3.2016 (4/5 stars)

”Tuominen is strongest at great ballads Untold and Time to go. Very impressive guitarplaying. If Carlos Santana is called the Master of Magnificent melodies, Tuominen definitely deserves the same title.” -Väylän pyörre, FI 10.3.2016 (4/5 stars)

"Untold Stories provides the listener with a highly entertaining mix of fiddly guitar rock, jazz rock and progressive ingredients. Those who like artists such as Steve Vai and Jeff Beck will definitely like to listen to this!” -InMusic / InHard Magazine, DE. 18.3.2016 (4/5 stars)

"The opener ´Extraordinary´ shows the class which certainly comes close to the performance of Steve Morse, Steve Vai or Al Di Meola.” -Crossfire metal, DE (8/10 stars)

”Definitely this is a well-done instrumental rock album and warmly recommended to all who appreciate the guitar heroics of artists such as JEFF BECK, GARY MOORE or JOHN McLAUGHLIN.” - Prog Archives, Finnish reviewer 16.2.2016

"Whenever you need a session or studio player and Steve Lukather is not available, Jartse Tuominen could be your man!” -Lords of Metal, NL

"His style ranges from complex fusion to heavy rock. The melodies are always the primary focus and his playing shines in typical slow ballads with soaring leads - I say Gary Moore and you know what I mean.” - Lords of Metal, NL

"A guitarist out of the ordinary - usually called Finland 's sharpest guitarist. A mix of hard rock and fusion, a bit like getting Al DiMeola, Scott Henderson and Steve Vai at the same time!” -Tradera, SE
