    There is a lot of innovative guitar playing coming out of Japan, I don't want to listen to most of it but It's still impressive.

Yeah, people somtimes refer to it pejoratively as 'note salad'.

I think what elevates Ichika Nito's piece for me is that he finds a real strong sense of melody. So no matter how complicated his overall playing is at any one moment, there's still a relatively simple musical idea to latch on to.
