February 17, 2004Riff Interactive has released Jeff Beck Style (retail $10.95, sale $9.95), a guitar lesson CD-ROM where you'll
learn how to play like the guitar legend, Jeff Beck.
Jeff has a
very unique technique and sound that is instantly recognizable. Jeff Beck
came to the attention of the guitar world after replacing Eric Clapton in
the "Yardbirds". After this period he went on to form the "Jeff Beck Group"
with Rod Stewart, and then the next incarnation of the band featuring an all
instrumental line-up. This era produced some significant milestone fusion
records like "Blow by Blow", "Wired" and "Beck-ola". This lesson series
covers many of Jeff's techniques and signature licks.
The lessons are taught by Storm Stenvold, a teacher and musician. He has studied music
since age 8, playing guitar and bass guitar for the past 17 years. Storm
attended the University of California - Berkeley and graduated with honors
from Musicians Institute - Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT). His
instructors included Scott Henderson, Paul Gilbert, Steve Trovato, Ron
Eschete and Keith Wyatt. He has recorded guitar for Warner Brothers
production team, Mephisto Odyssey, and for his own original bands. Storm won
radio station KSJO's "Best Guitarist" competition in 1997.

- Interactive tab/notation that syncs to the actual guitar audio.
