The Dynamic Soloist Collection

Al Joseph breaks down four different rock and metal subgenres in a quadrilogy of releases laden with the technical and theoretical lessons as a result of 20+ years guitar experience.

The Dynamic Soloist Collection is a chance to tap into the versatility that helps the best players stand out from the crowd. A face-first deep dive not only into lead guitar within different genres, but also the ideas behind that playing and how they can make you a better soloist.

Big Ballad Soloing

Drop the tempo and ramp up the melody. In this release Al takes you through the track “License to Kill”, a James Bond inspired builder that calls on big bends mixed with even bigger shred lines. A titanic track designed to raise your emotive chops from 0-100.

Nu-Metal Soloing

Al Joseph brings solos full of sweep picking and wailing bends to the groove infested water of one of metal’s most loved and loathed genres, nu-metal. It may seem like a big ask, but in “Throwdown” that’s exactly what Al has done.

Prog Metal Soloing

Drill into the signature sound of prog metal and learn to navigate its ever-changing waters. In the track “Make Your Move”, you’ll need to call on alternate picking, legato and a host of phrygian dominant patterns in a workout session designed to improve your accuracy and give you a blank canvas to craft your own ideas.

Tech Metal Soloing

Modern, melodic, musical and sometimes a bit mad, tech metal is a breeding ground for the ideas that require brain power and skill. In the pack’s central track, ‘End Game’ there’s tapping, challenging arpeggios and even some blues inspired bends. For Al, it’s a genre that has helped inspire him, and this pack is here to inspire you.

Each release in the Dynamic Soloist Collection is available as part of the box set or individually and includes:

This is the Dynamic Soloist Collection, a four stop shop aimed to round off those edges and bring versatility to the forefront of your playing. Because if variety is the spice of life, then dynamism is the spice of guitar.
