These guys have been around for a few years and you may know that the 4 piece is made up of 3 humble guys from the 90's famous band "Creed" and another very humble guy name Myles Kennedy (the humbleness is probably why they get along so well lol). Along with the down to earth attitude comes some incredible talent. Alter Bridge is about to release their 3rd CD in a few months. Right now the guys are busy with different projects. Creed is now touring and Slash wanted Myles to sing on his CD and was so impressed he asked him to front his tour.

Here is a great song from Alter Bridge's last album. Someone was inspired by the song and put a very meaningful slideshow together.

Hey Denise,

Just got in from cutting the grass and my rock hill and then using the weedeater to get the weeds on my boulder hill I created in front of the house. wacko.gif Funny thing is I have always loved stone (just the past 15 years it has been Hardscaping with boulders). Now I am delving into the small ones like I was into when I was a kid! sweet.gif

Awesome you are into Mark! He is such a fantastic guitarist and a rarity in that he is a rock star who still makes sure he practices at least 5 hrs a day, and it shows! Some of his good friends are well known shred guitarists and he has come such a long way with his lead playing. Despite having great technical skills, his focus over the past few years has been more on playing for what the song needs and he and Myles are into some wicked blues guitarists. My favorite guitarist growing up was George Lynch from Dokken. His melody lines were always so catchy and great even back in the "Breakin the Chains" days. Then shred came out in 1985 with Yngwie and Paul Gilbert and George listened to all the shredders and got better and better technically because of what the new guys were doing.

It's not that well known that Myles can play some wicked shred guitar and was in a few fusion bands along with rock bands like Mayfield Four. He just doesn't show off. Myles was a guitarist and guitar teacher who also sang a little. Here is clip when Myles was 19 or 20 winning some guitar contest.

Denise do you like technical guitarists? If you do, I have so much stuff for you and a lot of it would be awesome to cab to!
