GMC Forum _ Ask an Instructor _ Alter Bridge Style Lesson
Posted by: Rolls Jul 14 2008, 02:40 AM
Any of the instructors into Alter Bridge? I would love to see a lesson in the style of Alter Bridge like this song for example :

or

Anyone else here listen to them at all? I don't think they are too well known but I like a lot of their songs. I think most of the members came from the band Creed.
Thanks,
Rolls
P.S. Some other songs to check out :

There lastest album Blackbird ROCKS from beginning to end 
I know Gabe has said in the past he might do a lesson on Alter Bridge (Mark Tremonti). If any of the instructors did it would be great.

If we talk about new band, Alter Bride is one of my favourites. 
I have many requests to work on and I didn't have enouh time for it... however I'm working in new lessons this week. I'll do a lesson in the style of Tremonti in the future... But it would be great if any other instructor can do it know! 
I'm not sure if you know that we can't use copyrighted songs in our lessons. so it must be a lesson inspired in Alter Bridge... 
We can't tab those songs.

We can't tab those songs. Oh I know. I was just thinking of something in that "style." I have been listening to them a lot lately along with Godsmack.

Awesome, can't wait to see it

Right now I'm listening to those videos, I've to play around a bit to analyze main elements that compose the song, I'll try to be back as soon as possible with a cool lesson

Sweet, I hope they come out with some new stuff soon

I think Alter Bridge is arse. I don't see what people see in it at all 
Posted by: Rolls Jul 18 2008, 03:24 AM
I think people see Mark Tremonti lol. He is a self-taught guitarist that was Guitar World's guitarist of the year 3 times! I'm sure he is a big influence to many guitar players including myself.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jul 18 2008, 09:15 AM
I could be best guitarist in Guitar World magazine
And I'm useless. I was possibly a little harsh with my comment. There are worse bands out there but Mark Tremonti does inspire me to quit because if you can make money off simple stuff like that then what is the point in learning real guitar?

Like the song Ties that Bind, guitar might not be the most difficult but he wrote the music which takes creativity. Music doesn't have to be super complex to be good. I think he is a far better guitarist than what you see in Alter Bridge or Creed, but that is just my opinion.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jul 18 2008, 04:17 PM
Creed are in my worst 5 bands ever lol.
Along with U2, Oasis, Puddle of Mudd and Led Zeppelin.
Posted by: Joe Kataldo Jul 20 2008, 12:28 PM
You really don't like zeppelin? 
WHY!?
Posted by: Joe Kataldo Jul 20 2008, 04:31 PM
WHY!?
Alter bridge style almost done

Along with U2, Oasis, Puddle of Mudd and Led Zeppelin.Having your own opinion is fine but calling that band or guitarist poor i don't think is needed especially if they are certainly not that. How many of Alter Bridge's songs have you heard?
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jul 21 2008, 03:47 PM
Too many
My housemates like them and play them constantly. Drives me insane.

I guess you housemates have better taste in music......LOL.....jk man
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jul 21 2008, 03:55 PM
I listen to Electronica, Jazz, Psychodelic, Blues, Country, Classic Rock and Metal so you're probably right
Posted by: Rolls Jul 21 2008, 04:15 PM
I listen to most of those as well, except Electronica and Country......I just can't get into Country. Partly because I still have my car, didn't shoot my dog and my wife didn't leave me yet.
Posted by: Joe Kataldo Jul 21 2008, 07:19 PM
Too Funny
