"Esteemed Music Journalist Adam St. James" – Jeff Schroedl, Editor, Guitar Edge magazine

Hi, I'm Adam St. James, author of Logical Lead Guitar, and I've got an incredible vault of guitar knowledge I'm eager to share with you. Let me explain:

Millions of guitar players have read my guitar lessons, how-to articles, and celebrity interviews on Guitar.com, Musician.com, MusiciansFriend.com, GuitarVision.com and BluesQuest.com. During a 20 year music journalism career I've contributed regularly to such publications as Guitar World, Guitar World Acoustic, Frets, Guitar Edge, Guitar (for the Practicing Musician), Guitar Shop, Bass Player, Maximum Guitar, and dozens of other major magazines, newspapers, and websites around the globe.

Along the way, I've had the great pleasure to personally interview B.B. King, Jeff Beck, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, the Allman Brothers, Buddy Guy, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Ritchie Blackmore, Robin Trower, 3 Doors Down, blink 182, Disturbed, Slipknot, Soundgarden, Pete Anderson, Kenny Burrell, George Benson, and hundreds of other major guitarists in the genres of rock, blues, jazz, folk, country, and classical.

I've discussed guitar techniques in detail with these greats and, in many cases, had them personally demonstrate – just for me – much about their styles of playing guitar. I've even produced instructional videos with many of these inspiring musicians, and continue to do regular video production with rock stars and guitar virtuosos to this day.

Maybe You've Read My Books

Perhaps more importantly, however, is the fact that hundreds of thousands of practicing musicians already have purchased my books. You'll find them on bookshelves in thousands of locations, including Guitar Center, Barnes & Noble, Musicians Friend.com and music and book stores worldwide. My titles include:101 Guitar Tips: Stuff All The Pros Know And Use, 101 Recording Tips, 101 Singing Tips, Incredible Scale Finder, and Picture Chord Encyclopedia. In addition I have edited many great guitar instructional books for the world's largest music publisher, Hal Leonard.

But I Play Too!

I've been playing guitar for more than 30 years, teaching for 25, and as of summer, 2007, still perform regularly in one of the hottest bands in Chicago, The Almost Brothers Band, a top-notch Allman Brothers and Southern rock tribute band. As I write this (July '07) I'm getting ready to boogie off to Rock-Fest in northern Wisconsin, where we have a gig this weekend with Kiss, Collective Soul, Three Doors Down, Third Eye Blind, and Gov't Mule. I also regularly play acoustic solo and duo gigs, and I regularly sit in with a wide range of incredible musicians, including many of Chicago's best blues players, of course. Basically, I live to play guitar!

And here's a few other guitar-related events, jobs, and experiences that have increased my knowledge and understanding of the guitar, music, and the music biz:

• As a performer, I've shared stages with artists as disparate as Slayer, Megadeth, and Motorhead, to Reggie Wooten and Rik Emmett, to Tinsley Ellis and Robben Ford.
  
• I've performed at the Fender Catalina Blues Festival, the Coral Gables Blues Festival, and the Buffalo-Niagara Guitar Festival, among others.
  
• I've traveled with and guitar-teched for Sammy Hagar and his Waboritas – even wrote Sammy's tour programs.
  
• I've been to almost every NAMM trade show since the mid-'80s, and worked or reviewed guitar shows nationwide.
  
• I ran online guitar magazine Guitar.com and vintage guitar shopping mall Gbase.com for years.
  
• I edited and oversaw the entire printing process for Fender Frontline magazine.
  
• I've spent days and weeks in guitar factories and string factories and Custom Shops for numerous manufacturers, including Fender, Washburn, D'Addario, Gibson, Planet Waves, Randall, Matchless, B.C. Rich, and more?
  
• I've judged annually at the North American Rock Guitar Championships along with fellow guitar experts from Guitar Player, Guitar One, MTV, VH-1, and Gibson guitars.
  
• Sat in countless recording studios and watched the likes of Collective Soul or famous producers such as Tom Dowd lay down their magic.

I'm Eager To Share What I've Learned

It would be fair to say that I know and understand the guitar to a degree most players will never achieve, and I'm eager to share my knowledge with you, starting right now! My techniques, exercises, and fretboard concepts have proven overwhelmingly successful with countless private and group guitar students in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami.

Now I'm ready to show you the exact riffs, musical moves, and even shortcuts that will make you the best guitarist you can be, possibly the best guitarist your friends and audiences have ever seen – and if you put my techniques fully to work, perhaps even one of the best guitarists I'll ever interview!

I'm putting all this information together now in a new course titled "Logical Lead Guitar," and I'll begin sharing it with you for free right now! Just use our convenient form to opt-in to my mailing list, and you'll be burnin' up the frets in no time!
