PRESS RELEASE
Rock House Releases Two Alexi Laiho Instructional DVDs
April 10, 2008
Advertisement Rock House announces the release of two DVDs featuring Alexi Laiho, the highly acclaimed guitarist and front man of the band CHILDREN OF BODOM. The DVDs are titled "Metal Guitar, Melodic Speed, Shred & Heavy Riffs" — Levels 1 & 2. In Level 1, students will learn the single note riffs Alexi uses to create songs and the favorite scales he uses for his signature melodic and shredding leads. Alexi also shares his personal tricks for speed, sweep picking, pivoting and pick harmonics. He reveals the chord voicings he uses to create his powerful guitar progressions and a whole lot more! In Level 2, Alexi encourages students to push the limits of speed and technique. He walks step-by-step through many of his leads and teaches his mastery of five and six string arpeggios, string skipping arpeggios, chromatic scale patters and more. "Alexi is a true virtuoso who is inspiring a new generation of guitar players," said Joe Palombo, executive director, Rock House. "The release of these two DVDs puts Alexi and Rock House at the forefront of teaching the techniques and providing the tools to develop this new generation of players." Alexi has his own signature Model ESP guitar. He has appeared on more than 50 magazine covers around the world, made Guitar World's list of the top 100 metal guitarists of all time in 2004, and appeared on the cover of Guitar World in January 2005 with Steve Vai and Zack Wylde. His technical mastery of the guitar has propelled him into one of today's most noted guitar players. Alexi's instructional DVD will be available at MI retailers around the world for $24.99. This DVD and all Rock House instructional products are distributed through Music Sales Corp. 1-800-431-7187. Alexi's DVDs will come with a FREE lesson booklet and membership to Rock House's lesson support site at: http://www.rockhousemethod.com./. This feature, exclusive to Rock House and its partners, offers students supplementary support for the lessons featured on the DVD. Once registered, students can interact with the community, utilize the additional learning tools and access the special features. The release of Alexi Laiho's DVDs comes on the cusp of the release of "Blooddrunk," CHILDREN OF BODOM's widely-anticipated new full-length album. The record is said to be the band's strongest and most advanced recording to date and features a cutting edge take on COB's enthralling mix of modern metal, melodic hooks and guitar acrobatics. Rock House has developed an accelerated yet easy-to-use system of learning that utilizes the functionality of DVD and Print, integrated with the accessibility of the Internet. Aspiring musicians who have a product produced by Rock House receive free membership to www.rockhousemethod.com for 24-7 lesson support. Students use this fully interactive lesson site along with their product to enhance their learning experience, expand their knowledge, link them with instructors, and connect with a community of people around the world who are learning to play music using The Rock House Method®.
