THE ALIEN BLAKK guitarist Joshua Craig Podolsky is set to release a new book entitled Shredding Acoustic Guitar. According to the product description, "master shredder Joshua Craig Podolsky covers all the most important techniques and concepts, including shred rhythms, how to develop speed and dexterity, scales and fingerings, patterns and sequences, arpeggios, chromaticism, and tremolo picking. He also provides lots of fun examples, licks, and etudes to play in standard music notation and TAB. Easy-to-read neck diagrams make learning scales and arpeggios effortless.

Shredding Acoustic Guitar is a must-have for any serious shredder and will lead you to pure and straightforward shredding on the acoustic guitar that will impress musicians and audiences alike."
