The Commander-In-Chief: talks about Lead guitar and solos


Episode 2 of my Video Blog is out now!

Norwegian 7string guitarist/singer/songwriter "The Commander-In-Chief" plays some of her guitar solos and talks about her approach to writing, playing and recording solos. See below the full statement from Pantera producer Sterling Winfield (Pantera, Hatebreed, Hellyeah) regarding the recording of her debut EP "Evolution" - which she talks about in this episode. This is episode 2 of her new weekly Video Blog.

Full statement from Sterling Winfield:
"I would first like to say thank you again to "The Commander" and Elisabeth Hagen for giving me the opportunity to work on such an original project. It is refreshing to work on a recording that is nothing like everything else that is going on in music currently.

Furthermore, as a producer and engineer for the last twenty-­‐one years, I feel that
the following needs to be said for many reasons:

I am very proud to acknowledge the fact that what you are hearing is all 100% musician played performances! During the course of listening to these songs, you will NOT hear one drum hit that was moved around, placed on a grid, "Sound Replaced" or augmented in any way whatsoever. You will also NOT hear "Auto-­‐ Tuner", "Melodyne" or any other vocal tuning software of ANY kind!

That being said, I will answer the burning question looming in your minds... Yes, "The Commander In Chief" played ALL of the guitars you're hearing, and sang every single note. Not only did she do all of this, but she did it all with more great attitude, and professionalism than a lot of the veteran musicians I know that have been doing this almost longer than she has been alive. All of the musicians that played on this project were truly great! They all performed above and beyond the call of duty and I was proud to be a part of it.
