We talk to Thomas McRocklin - Virtuoso Guitarist who shot to fame in the early 1990's after catching the attention of Steve Vai and numerous record labels leading to an appearance in the music video 'The Audience Is Listening', the formation of the rock band Bad4Good and US tours with Joe Satriani. After leaving the guitar scene for almost two decades to focus on music production and mastering, Thomas has returned with a new band, McRocklin & Hutch, and a fresh new focus on the guitar which is once again proving to be a force to be reckoned with. Thomas shares his whole journey from picking up the guitar at 4 years old, opening for Ozzy Osbourne at just 8 and his time both in and away from the USA.
