An awesome shredder, a down to earth man, Mihir Phukan is one of those guitarist who can freak you out with his skills even while trying the guitars and amps. Check this video out if you don't believe me! He nailed technical difficulties in it! His career started out as the lead guitarist of Eclipse, one of the pioneers of Assam's rock scenerio. He got the best guitarist awards continuously for 5 consecutive years before he left Eclipse in 2007.
