Confessions of a Rock Guitarist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964686325)

In Confessions of a Rock Guitarist, Steve Lynch recounts with humility and offbeat humor the struggles he endured growing up in the Pacific Northwest and, later, when he moved to LA to pursue his dream of becoming a professional musician. At the Guitar Institute, a fateful demonstration accelerates the course of Lynch's musical development, transforming him from a student into a master who created a cutting-edge style of his own.

Lynch and his band, Autograph, quickly rise to international prominence during the heyday of '80s metal "hair bands." However, addiction, personnel changes, and the public's changing musical tastes threaten to derail his career. Throughout this memoir, Lynch reveals an innate curiosity that takes him around the world as a musician, educator, and seeker of spiritual truth.

Illustrated with photographs from Lynch's long and illustrious career, Confessions of a Rock Guitarist is a transcendent record of one man's quest for artistic and personal fulfillment.
