Terry Syrek is a guitarist whose fiery solos and intricate compositions have captivated audiences worldwide. A true Renaissance man in the music world, he's not only a virtuoso guitarist but also a talented vocalist, songwriter, session musician, producer, instructor, and author.
His journey began at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he honed his skills and earned a Bachelor of Music degree. Since then, Terry has become known for his passionate and technically impressive playing style, evident in his three solo albums: Obscura (2001), Aum (2005), and Machine Elves (2012). Aum, in particular, made a splash by topping the Guitar Nine sales charts in all four categories it was listed in, including Best Overall Sales.
Terry's musical prowess has led him to share the stage with some of the biggest names in rock and metal, including Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big, Racer X), Allan Holdsworth, John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Marty Friedman (Megadeth), and Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne), among many others. He's even toured with the multi-platinum selling Trans-Siberian Orchestra, bringing his shredding talents to their epic holiday shows.
Beyond the stage, Terry's guitar has graced numerous television commercials for brands like Disney, ESPN, and Olive Garden, as well as television shows like Highlander and various PBS programs. He's also a prolific session musician, lending his talents to recordings alongside guitar icons like Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan.
With over 26 years of teaching experience, Terry is a dedicated educator who inspires the next generation of guitarists. He's a senior faculty instructor at the National Guitar Workshop, where he's developed popular week-long seminars with titles like "Shred," "Rock Fusion," and "The Art of Metal." His passion for teaching also extends to his writing, with credits including the Alfred Publishing video and book Shred Is Not Dead and the instructional CD-ROM Unearthed Arcana for Chops From Hell. He even penned a monthly column for Premier Guitar magazine called "Diary of a So-Called Shredder."
Terry's work has been recognized in publications like Guitar Player, Guitar World, and Premier Guitar, solidifying his place as a respected figure in the guitar community.
