Many years ago I listened to a Radio Program on Radio BBC2 called Six Silver Strings - I don't know if anyone in the UK is fammiliar with this show?

This program introduced me to artists such as Rory Gallagher, Nils Lofgren, Vinnie Moore and Stanley Jordan to name a few, However there was one Guiatrist who played a tune called the Magician, it was something along the lines of Yngwie Malmsteem and Van Halen.....Does anyone know or recollect this tune ??

I really would love to hear this again as I remember being gobsmacked by it !!

Is this the Guy? on this website, called "the Modern Guitarist", in a section entitled, "90's Masters", they talk about his 1991 album entitled, "The Magician"

Mario Parga

Mario Parga is a young British guitar player who has taken the creative stylistic likes of Paul Gilbert and Vinnie Moore and clipped, twisted and expounded them to suit his own chaotic musicianship. Mario was brought up on classical music -- Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart -- and was intrigued by the arrival of Eddie Van Halen and his successors. His initial demo recording, made in 1989, was called Fretstalking. He followed this with the more mature 1990 demo full of exciting solos, plus an energetic updating of '89's 'Jane'. It further explored his sometimes neo-classical, sometimes straight rock pretensions and was an important signpost for his 1991 instrumental CD, The Magician. It is the latter which is most of interest to guitar fans. The Magician featured truly astonishing guitar work which complemented the strength of the compositions themselves and highlighted Parga's dextrous style, which included extremely fast picking and tapping, and, most notable of all, an advanced command of sweep-picking techniques. Unfortunately the label, President Records, were not large enough to give Mario the publicity he deserved. Here was a guitarist who had injected an element of excitement back into British guitar playing (the last being John Sykes of Blue Murder fame). Anybody who enjoys the more rumbustious side of 'shred' will love this album. Instrumentals like the title track and 'Silent Seduction' should give many younger players pause for thought.

In between recording the demos and The Magician, Mario played on 4 tracks on Forcefield IV's Let the Wild Run Free album (1990). He has also worked with fellow British guitarist Dave Kilminster with whom he recorded an -- as yet unreleased -- acoustic album; and toured with renowned drummer Cozy Powell on a series of world-wide dates. No doubt Mario's acclaimed skills and experience will be much sought after by musicians, young or old, wishing to employ a highly motivated and inspiring British guitar player.
