ATR’s Oli Herbert Releasing Instructional DVD’s

All That Remains Lead Guitarist, Oli Herbert Is Releasing Instructional DVD’s ON Rockhouse. About a year and a half ago, maybe more, I got tired of hearing the name All That Remains. I saw it in magazines and on the web and I finally told myself that I had to find out what all the hype was. I think the first cd I bought was Behind Silence And Solitude. It was heavy and I liked it but it lacked something. The fall Of Ideals was the newest album so I picked that one up next. I loved it. The guitar work and solos floored me and I liked Phil’s voice. Ask anyone that’s been visiting for over a year and they’ll tell you that I used to post quite a bit on ATR. This Darkened Heart remains my favorite though I don’t listen to them much anymore. Oli Herbert’s guitar work is catchy and simplistic on his rhythms most of the time but when he rips in to a solo you can hear a lot of classical influence and the solos sound great and always fit the song well.

Rock House, sells a load of different instructional DVD with various artists. One of the new instructional sets is with Oli Herbert.

Metal Guitar Heavy Rhythms, Leads & Harmonies Levels 1 & 2 are jam-packed with the fundamental techniques that have propelled Oli into one of today’s most influential guitar players. In Level 1 Oli gives aspiring Metal guitarists insight into song writing and lead playing. He reveals the chords, inversions and voicing’s he uses to create rhythm progressions and write songs. Expanding on the techniques developed in Level 1, Level 2 explores Hungarian minor scales, scale runs and patterns, chromatic passing tone technique and many complete leads shown note by note. Oli shows students advanced lead guitar techniques and how to write a two-part harmony guitar section heard in many of his Metal compositions. Each level includes backing tracks from original All That Remains recordings to put users at the center of the band’s ground breaking sound.

The DVDs’s come iPod ready, with 32 page lesson booklet and backing tracks to play long to. You can pick up the DVD’s individually or together for a slight discount. There are other packs that includes the DVDs, the Overcome CD and some stickers. You can preorder it now but I don’t see a release date.
