FRET12 launches Grammy Award Winning Guitarist Mark Tremonti Instructional Video

November 20, 2008

Core Twelve Productions partners with today's biggest artists for its FRET12 line of instructional products. These "total picture presentations" of the artist's stories, compositions and routines, create the most informative and relevant learning experiences possible.

Mark Tremonti was an easy choice for the first guitar release, titled The Sound and The Story. The Grammy Award winning songwriter has spent over 20 years developing his playing style and techniques. As lead guitarist and composer for Creed and Alter Bridge, he has sold over 30 million records, played thousands of shows and has signature products from PRS Guitars, Morley Pedals and T-Rex.

In The Sound and The Story, Mark Tremonti shares his experiences as a self-taught guitarist who has made it to the biggest stages in the world. From techniques and exercises to writing and performing, Mark gives a comprehensive look at his playing and the ways he pushes himself to continue developing as an artist.

Some of the key video features include: Introduction by Paul Reed Smith, Mark's story as a guitarist and songwriter, breakdown of solos from Alter Bridge's Blackbird album, live concert footage, original compositions, 40+ exercises, 3 hours of footage, live rig and guitar tour, alternate camera angles and tablature book. Also included are in-depth guest lessons by Myles Kennedy, Michael Angelo Batio, Troy Stetina, Rusty Cooley and Bill Peck.

"This DVD is packed with great instructional material. But it goes far beyond guitar technique, with in depth interviews that give you great insight into the psychology of guitar, the personalities and even career development in general. The Sound and The Story is groundbreaking in terms of its breadth of content and presentation," said Troy Stetina, author of Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar, Fretboard Mastery and the Metal Lead Guitar series. "While it has something to offer music fans and players of all levels, this video is of exceptional benefit to intermediate and advanced players."

And the story continues on the FRET12 website, where Mark and other artists post updates and participate regularly as their careers advance. The site features a social networking platform with behind-the-scenes video, instructional content, photos, and information to create an immersive experience that gives musicians and fans access
