"Behind the Player" DVDs with ESP artists

There's nothing wrong with learning how to be a better guitarist, and a new DVD series might help you on that path. Alfred Music Publishing has released a collection of "Behind the Player" DVDs from IMV that include such ESP players as Galder and Silenoz from Dimmu Borgir, Dan Jacobs of Atreyu, and the ever-amazing George Lynch.

In "Behind the Player: Dimmu Borgir", guitarists Galder and Silenoz bring you an intimate behind-the-scenes look at their lives as professional musicians, including rare photos and video footage. They also provide in-depth guitar lessons on how to play their songs "The Serpentine Offering" and "The Chosen Legacy". The VideoTab system shows exactly how Galder and Silenoz play their parts in the songs.

"Behind the Player: Dan Jacobs" is an up-close look at Atreyu's shredder, and his unique style and fresh approach to classic shredding. Dan gives in-depth lessons for how to play "Becoming the Bull" and "Falling Down" by Atreyu — then jams on those songs with Atreyu drummer Brandon Saller. The DVD also includes a behind-the-scenes look at Dan's life as a professional musician, talong with tab that shows exactly how to play his part in the two songs, and exclusive bonus features.

"Behind the Player: George Lynch" features the virtuoso guitar player from the bands Dokken, Lynch Mob, and Souls of We, and the unique melodic style and technical mastery that have influenced countless fans for decades. George gives in-depth lessons on how to play "Mr. Scary" and "Tooth and Nail" by Dokken, jamming on the songs with bassist James Lomenzo and drummer Ray Luzier. The DVD also includes an exclusive look at George's career as a professional musician, along with tabs and bonus features.

The "Behind the Player" DVDs by IMV are now available for $14.95 each, and are available at music stores or online at alfred.com/imv.
