Of all the members of Mastodon, I feel like I never really read anything about guitarist Bill Kelliher. He's just the (potentially) quiet dude in the background that apparently writes a whole lot of the band's music. So Fret12 got in touch with him and is coming out with a documentary on the man titled Bill Kelliher: The Sound And The Story.
It seems like it's a pretty interesting watch, from the below trailer anyway. Like Kelliher just sort of does his thing and enjoys what he does, but doesn't make a big fuss out of it at all. The documentary will also include a rundown of Kelliher's gear, guitar lessons and stuff like that… four hours of stuff like that. Which then warrants me saying "Fret12, you have potentially done amazing work here." Specifically, the DVD will contain-
- “The Sound” – Bill Kelliher sits down to teach you his favorite Mastodon tunes, warm-ups and other exercises.
- “The Story” – featuring never-before-seen interviews with bandmates Brann Dailor and Brent Hinds, along with Kevin Sharp of Primate and Brutal Truth.
- 2+ hours of song tutorials, teaching solos, riffs and more.
- 2+ hours of guitar instruction covering guitar technique.
- Live concert footage plus a full rig tour of Bill’s gear.
- Outtakes and blooper reel.
- Downloadable tablature .pdf included.
Pre-order the DVD right here before its release date because you know you're gonna want it.
