Gus G. - Lead & Rhythm Techniques

For many, Gus G. may have seemingly come from nowhere to land the job as Ozzy Osbourne’s new guitarist; but the truth is, Gus is already a true phenomenon in European metal circles. His undeniable work ethic and his instant likeability won the Greek guitar god a raft of admirers throughout the industry.
His career includes stints with Arch Enemy, Nightrage, Mystic Prophecy , Dream Evil and of course the hugely successful Firewind. Gus’ s singular playing style and ef fortless ability has garnered him a legion of fans across the globe.
He knew from a young age that he wanted to make music a career and at 18 years old he made the trip from his home in Greece to enroll at Berkley College of Music. Although Gus was only at the college for a short amount of time, the knowledge he gained serves him well.
Working with melodic death metal act Nightrage let Gus show what he could do and it wasn’t long before Gus was one of the most talked about guitar players on the Euro-metal scene. He then hooked up with famed Gothenberg producer Fredrik Nordstrom to form power metal leg-ends Dream Evil. The band quickly signed to Century Media and soon hit stages around the world, opening for fellow power metal bands Blind Guardian and Hammerfall.
After three successful albums Gus chose to dedicate more time to his true love, his band Firewind, a project he’d been working with since 1998. At this time, he also ended his working relationships with Mystic Prophecy, a band he also made three albums with.
About the Instructor
Gus G.
Gus G. - Lead & Rhythm Techniques
Firewind signed with Leviathan Records who put out the band’s f rst records, ‘Between Heaven and Hell’ and ‘Burning Earth.’ The band began touring the world, including a Japanese run with Rob Rock and a worldwide deal with Century Media was soon signed. The f rst album as part of that deal (‘Forged by Fire’) further established the band; but, it was the follow up ‘Allegiance’ that really put the band on the map.
For the next two years Firewind toured in support of ‘Allegiance’ (opening for Dragonforce and All That Remains) in three continents and clocking up thousands of miles. The hard work paid off as both “Allegiance” and the acclaimed follow up “The Premonition” albums made it to the Top 10 in Greece and the “Mercenary Man” single became a Top 5 hit. “The Premonition” also charted in Japan.
Despite the band’s success, Gus was always ready to get back out on the road so when Arch Enemy needed a temporary replacement for their guitarist Michael Amott, Gus was f rst in line. it was on Arch Enemy’s 2005 Ozzfest appearances that Gus f rst caught the eye of the Osbourne camp.
Four years later Gus was invited to audition for the guitar role in Ozzy’s band. He was then asked to perform with the band at ‘Blizzcon 2009’, where he ripped through Ozzy classics, remember-ing to stay faithful to the original songs but adding enough of his own individuality to ensure that his appearance was met with a unanimous ‘thumbs up’ from the fans.
The end of 2010 will be an equally busy year for Gus with not only the new Ozzy Osbourne al-bum hitting the shelves but there’s also a brand new Firewind CD, the eagerly anticipated follow up to their highly rated ‘The Premonition’ release due at the end of 2010.
