Guitarist "METAL MIKE" CHLASCIAK (HALFORD, PAINMUSEUM) will be a special guest instructor during the Summer Boot Camp program currently offered at Paul Green's School Of Rock. This will be a one day only event taking place on August 3rd, 2009 at the Charry Hill, NJ location. Please note that this event is open only to the School Of Rock students.

"I am happy to come down, bring my flying Vs and talk music with all the young rockers and metallers at the school. Sound like a good time. We'll crank up some amps, share stories and tear up a few riffs. I'll be also playing some tracks from my up-coming The Metalworker album - so one thing is for sure - we'll have a fill of loud music that day. I'm very much looking forward to it", commented Metal Mike.

School Of Rock's Summer Boot Camps are ideal programs for musicians ages 7-18 who want an immersive summer day camp experience. Students spend one to two full weeks working in a hands-on atmosphere honing their performance and ensemble expertise as well as learning valuable music industry-related skills.
