Voyageur Press has announced a new book, AC/DC – High Voltage Rock n’ Roll: The Ultimate Illustrated History, the first complete illustrated history published about AC/DC.

Here’s what the publisher has to say about AC/DC – High Voltage Rock n’ Roll:

This heavy duty 224-page volume follows AC/DC’s long-and-winding career, from the early days as a bar band in Australia, through the tragic passing of singer Bon Scott and their massive comeback success with one of rock’s all-time classic (and best-selling) albums, Back in Black.

Featuring over 400 illustrations (including handbills, posters, backstage passes, and vinyl from around the globe, as well as rare candid and performance photography), and a special “spinner” cover image of Angus Young, AC/DC – High Voltage Rock n’ Roll: The Ultimate Illustrated History is sure to appeal to both the longtime fan and the newcomer.

Sidebars by rock’s finest journalists weighing in on various eras of the AC/DC are included throughout the book, as well as an album-by-album analysis, and info on the guitar gear championed by the Young brothers.

While many AC/DC fans have heard and experienced the group live on stage numerous times over the years, there has simply never been a book which has chronicled the group’s entire history as vividly as AC/DC – High Voltage Rock n’ Roll: The Ultimate Illustrated History.

Metallica Guitar Lesson

via KristoferDahl:

Heya, Kris here! If one were to describe Kirk Hammett’s soloing in a few sentences, I would say he uses rock cliche licks over strong metal/rock riffs (depending on which decade we are speaking about!). So let’s dive into some typical rock cliche licks and investigate how we can make use of them. I am not a fan of trying to copy other styles/guitarists to 100 %, that’s why I try to “steal” as much as I can from others – but eventually I’ll do my best to throw it all in the bin. What I am trying to say is: Make sure to learn the techniques you are working with perfectly, once you master them – alter them to the point that no one will recognise them. Do that for a couple of years and you will proudly be able to announce “your own style”! Oh, I included a little bonus clip in today’s video, featuring me and my student Jimmie Nilsson jamming over this lesson’s backing track. I have had him for three years, and he has been extremely serious about practicing – and now he rocks! 🙂 Remember this could very well be YOU in a couple of years (regardless of your age). The trick is to take every little detail into consideration when practcing (cleaness, timing etc.) – if you are gifted with discipline don’t throw your time a way, practice as correctly as possible! This lesson is inpired by the Kirk Hammett style lesson at WWW.GUITARMASTERCLASS.NET . The site also features a daily free video-lick-lesson, which you might want to check out. As soon as you get any of the licks down …

Steve Vai style solo techniques, by Kristofer Dahl.

via KristoferDahl:

Few modern rock guitarsist have had such a major impact on the guitar community as Steve Vai. Mr Vai’s musical ability comprises of strong, unpredictable compositions – as well as a technical driven guitar style with innovative techniques and melodies.

In this lesson lesson we will approach Steve’s pattented tones and techniques by analysing “Vai slides”, whammy-bar tricks, lydian mode and plain shred! The backing tracks should allow you to start practicing these techniques slowly – and gradually work your way to the top! As always, if this feels way to difficult for you – just focus on nailing one single lick.
