My new instructional book dedicated completely to ALL tapping styles for 6 string guitar! Over 60 unique-custom exercises! For those of you that want to learn more tapping licks and riffs in the style of “The Great Plains” and “The Levitated” or want to venture further into adding tapping in your soloing!

“Been a lot going on in the Scale The Summit camp since we got home from our first headlining tour in February! First I’m very excited announce our new “Adventure Metal Across America Tour”! Its our second headlining tour this year for “The Collective”, hitting a lot of the cities we missed on the first one. For those of you who came out the first one one, we’ll be mixing up our entire 80 minute set with different songs! Really excited to be bringing out Today I Caught The Plague, great progressive band from Toronto, currently out on the road with our buddies in Protest The Hero and Periphery!”

“We are also proud to announce Mark Michell (Tetrafusion) as our new full time bassist. Jordan decided earlier in the year he no longer wanted to tour full time so we have decided to part ways. We have had great luck having all original members for the past 3 full lengths and over 6 years! We wish him the best and are really excited to see what Mark brings to the band! So far are first rehearsal went great! Mark’s first show with us is April 21st, in Bridgeport CT for Fauxchella Fest at Gallery 305K. We have also uploaded a play through video for our longest and hardest song off “Carving Desert Canyons”, “Giants” to give everyone a taste of Mark’s playing! Make sure to check
that out via our YouTube channel!”  YouTube Channel

“Lastly, I have a new 6 string guitar instructional book, “Chris Letchford’s Guide To Tapping” coming out in a couple weeks. Over 60 exercises dedicated to tapping.
