Guitar Heroes--VA (2007)

11 of the most respected and talented Finnish heavy metal guitarists gathered together into the studio to record a killer album for everyone who loves virtuous playing and guitar solos from outer space. With internationally acclaimed shredders like Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala (Children of Bodom), Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius) and Emppu Vuorinen (Nightwish) showing their skills, the album will certainly attract every metal fan and guitar enthusiastic all around the globe.

All of the 11 players composed a new, instrumental song for this album and for this album only. On top of that, there's one "battle song" where each fastfinger has a solo spot to show off his skills. Even though the album is based on heavy metal and hard rock, it is quite amazing to notice how many different styles are represented, and how much the songs differ from each other. Every single guitar player was free to express his creativity with no limitations. You can really hear it on the tracks how much fun guitar playing can be when freedom of creativity and virtuosity are taken to the highest level.

Shawn Lane--Powers of Ten

Shawn Lane's solo debut, Powers of Ten, showcases a phenomenally talented guitarist and musician who, unfortunately, doesn't seem to understand his own limitations. Emerging from digital silence with Steve Vai-like drama, "Not Again," the opening song on the record, is typical of the fusiony guitar-driven instrumentals that make up the bulk of Powers of Ten. These tracks, when not veering dangerously close to soap opera land, are pleasant enough, with just enough slippery lines to keep the listener interested. As Lane himself provides all the keyboards, basses, and drums, Powers of Ten is an impressive solo statement. There are shades of Vai and Eric Johnson in his guitar playing, to be sure, but overall he definitely has his own sound and his own vision.

This live performance was recorded in 2001 by:

*Shawn Lane - guitar

*Sean Rickman - drums

*Barry Bays - bass

*Todd Bobo - saxophone

David Russell--19th Century Music

When David Russell made this debut CD (he had done one LP earlier), he was a young musician on his way up. Now, he records for Telarc and is quite well known. GHA, a Belgian label specializing in guitar music, has done well to keep this CD available. The music has more substance than you will find on the average collection of guitar miscellany (especially Mertz's Elegie, quite a touching piece), and the congruent yet varied romantic program makes for good listening. Russell plays superbly, making sure that the pieces sound different from each other, and his guitar is realistically captured by the recording.

Tracklist:

1. Andante et Rondo
2. Introduction et Polonaise
3. Elegie
4. Fantasia
5. Fantaisie Hongroise
6. Leyenda
7. Aire Vasco
8. Reverie

Secrets to Writing Killer Songs--Troy Stetina

Secrets to Writing Killer Songs gives a look inside the process of song creation. Troy Stetina and co-author/vocalist Shauna Joyce lay out the inner sequence of events in the creation of their 1992 CD, Set the World on Fire which is included. Part One is a "no rules" approach to get you started writing and refining your own songs. Part Two features detailed form charts and analysis of the compositional ideas hiding within the demonstration songs. The style is basically melodic hard rock, leaning toward metal and progressive at times. However, the practical songwriting tips are equally valid for any style accross the rock/metal spectrum.
