A guitar lesson video for Pentagream’s “Walk In The Blue Light” is up in the Free Videos section at PlayThisRiff.com.
Level: Intermediate 5. In this guitar lesson video Russ Strahan from Pentagram will show us the main riffs in "Walk In The Blue Light”. You will learn how to play major chords using only the top three strings. This technique gives you a very heavy sounding chord. Actually, there are some really cool chords in the one. Pretty unusual for this kind of music to play Sus4 chords and Major triads on the heavy strings.

45 years into its career, Pentagram have released their first ever promotional video, for the title track from their album Curious Volume, streaming below.
The video for "Curious Volume" was produced by David Hall, known for his work with The Melvins, Pig Destroyer, Phillip H. Anselmo and the Illegals, Venom, Brutal Truth, Ken Mode and more, with the live footage shot on tour March - April 2016 by Jerry Moore, Chris Navarro, Joe Shuerger and Dan Lively.
Pentagram frontman Bobby Liebling said of the video: "We wanted our first ever video to, in-a-way, be a connection to the past as well as the present. The song can be interpreted as a personal and collective journey that we've been on for close to half a decade. It's a trip that's both physical and mental and I feel that Dave's end result illustrates that for us and everyone. The video stands as both an escape and an introduction to us as artists and people. You can feel the rigors and rewards of tour life through the visuals. We love the stardust and psychedelics as well as the raw rock-n-roll energy felt throughout the song and video alike. We hope you connect with it like we do."
Featuring 11 classic heavy metal compositions with catchy hooks from core band members Victor Griffin, Greg Turley, and Bobby Liebling (Pete Campbell on the drums completes the band's line-up), Curious Volume was recorded with Swedish producer Mattias Nilsson at studios located in Maryland and Virginia. Additional recording took place in Tennessee with Grammy-nominated producer Travis Wyrick, who also produced Pentagram's previous album, Last Rites. The album's cover artwork was provided courtesy of Richard Schouten.
Curious Volume released in August 2015 via Peaceville Records.
