Scott's New Friend
Scott welcomes his new friend into the family. The addition to the clan is a custom-made Vigier Excalibur Surfreter
fretless guitar with metal fingerboard. We'll be seeing (and hearing) lots of great things from Scott and his
Vigier in the future, so stay tuned!
The Sound
Welcome to the web site of Scott McGill, progressive guitarist. Mixing a complex blend of heavy fusion, jazz, classical,
and progressive rock, Scott sets a new standard for guitar virtuosity not often seen in today's world of overnight "rock
sensations" and studio-born lip-sync teen supergroups. His unique vision reaches far beyond the conventional formula to create
music that is destined to stand the test of time.
Scott and his bandmates, Grammy-nominated bassist Michael Manring and drummer Vic Stevens, create a high-energy,
high-density wall of blistering and
unapologetic jazz-rock fusion, which makes for a challenging and entertaining listen. Their live show retains that energy and more.
