Autograph Guitarist Steve Lynch Releases New Book "Confessions Of A Rock Guitarist"

Known for their massive hit single “Turn Up The Radio”, Autograph guitarist Steve Lynch is releasing his tell-all memoir. Check out info about the new book below:

In Confessions of a Rock Guitarist, Steve Lynch recounts with humility and offbeat humor the struggles he endured growing up in the Pacific Northwest and, later, when he moved to LA to pursue his dream of becoming a professional musician. At the Guitar Institute, a fateful demonstration accelerates the course of Lynch’s musical development, transforming him from a student into a master who created a cutting-edge style of his own.

Lynch and his band, Autograph, quickly rise to international prominence during the heyday of ’80s metal “hair bands.” However, addiction, personnel changes, and the public’s changing musical tastes threaten to derail his career. Throughout this memoir, Lynch reveals an innate curiosity that takes him around the world as a musician, educator, and seeker of spiritual truth.

Illustrated with photographs from Lynch’s long and illustrious career, Confessions of a Rock Guitarist is a transcendent record of one man’s quest for artistic and personal fulfillment.

About the Author

Steve Lynch started playing bass guitar in 1968 but switched over to guitar the day his hero, Jimi Hendrix, died: September 18th, 1970. He graduated from the Guitar Institute of Technology in 1979 earning the Most Likely to Succeed award. While attending GIT he wrote his first bestselling book, The Right Touch, a book about two-handed guitar playing. Steve’s unique skills launched a storied career participating in a variety of rock bands including the famed Autograph and touring with headliners such as Van Halen, Mötley CrĂĽe, Aerosmith, Ronnie James Dio, Whitesnake, Brian Adams, and Heart. His band Autograph signed with RCA records and recorded three albums, producing the mega-hit Turn Up the Radio and selling more than five million copies. Steve also wrote two additional instructional books, recorded an instructional video, taught 325 clinics in twenty countries, recorded a solo album (Network 23), owned and operated a music school, and is now in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with his band Autograph in Cleveland, Ohio.
