This July, guitar masters Steve Smyth (Nevermore, Testament), Doug
Doppler (Guitar Hero), and L.A. fretmaster Adrian Galysh are bringing
Shredstock to venues across California. Six guitar filled nights
featuring a 45 minute set from each artist are guaranteed to satisfy
the guitar fanatic in you. And if you’ve got the goods, you could open
up the show if you’re a winner in the the Shredstock Viral Video
Contest!
About Shredstock: Shredstock’s roots lie in guitar legend Uli Jon Roth’s Sky Academy Concert series, where Steve, Doug, and Adrian were invited to join the founding father of both the Scorpions and Neo-Classical Rock on stage. From there they joined forces and created Shredstock. According to Doppler, “The impact of Guitar Hero has been nothing short of amazing in terms of inspiring multiple generations of guitar players. There are so many players at home chomping at the bit to jump up on a real stage with a live audience. Steve, Adrian and I decided it was a great time to hit the road to promote our discs and to give guitar fans a different kind of guitar tour – one that they could actually be a part of.”
About the Shredstock Viral Video Contest: Three winners for each city on the tour will have a chance to open the show with a solo or song of their choice. Contestants simply need to visit http://www.YouTube.com/Shredstock, upload a of video of themselves playing, send a link to friends and family, and he or she with the most plays wins!
