For me it has to be Jensen. There’s something about the way that Jensen plays that just looks effortless. I don’t think anyone else demonstrates such a level of control and ease that Jensen does when he plays, it’s like it’s just second nature to him.

Gentry Stein. I just saw his steady progress, and always saw it in him. So, it was nice to see it happen for him. I’m still celebrating about 20 Shutters later. 😃 ---
