Bruno is a great guitarist, but he's a bit "old school" and almost sounds like he's working too hard when he plays up tempo tunes. It's as if he hasn't made that quantum leap to the "effortless" sounding chops that you hear in a player like Pat Martino (not that many players achieve such heights!). Jonathan Kreisberg is a young player with plenty of tone and chops. There are the chosen few who just "get it" at a young age in regards to solving the technical issues of playing the guitar. The ability to build great chops was easy for them, and they were able to move right on to the music.
FYI - I'm not one of the chosen few! :(
