About the Instructor

Gus G.

For many, Gus G. may have seemingly come from nowhere to land the job as Ozzy Osbournes
new guitarist; but the truth is, Gus is already a true phenomenon in European metal circles.
His undeniable work ethic and his instant likeability won the Greek guitar god a raft of admirers
throughout the industry.
His career includes stints with Arch Enemy, Nightrage, Mystic Prophecy , Dream Evil and of
course the hugely successful Firewind. Gus s singular playing style and ef fortless ability has
garnered him a legion of fans across the globe.
He knew from a young age that he wanted to make music a career and at 18 years old he made
the trip from his home in Greece to enroll at Berkley College of Music.Although Gus was only at
the college for a short amount of time, the knowledge he gained serves him well.
Working with melodic death metal act Nightrage let Gus show what he could do and it wasnt
long before Gus was one of the most talked about guitar players on the Euro-metal scene. He
then hooked up with famed Gothenberg producer Fredrik Nordstrom to form power metal legends Dream Evil. The band quickly signed to Century Media and soon hit stages around the
world, opening for fellow power metal bands Blind Guardian and Hammerfall.
After three successful albums Gus chose to dedicate more time to his true love, his band Firewind,
a project hed been working with since 1998.At this time, he also ended his working relationships
with Mystic Prophecy, a band he also made three albums with.

Gus G. - Lead & Rhythm Techniques


Firewind signed with Leviathan Records who put out the bands f rst records, Between Heaven
and Hell and Burning Earth. The band began touring the world, including a Japanese run with
Rob Rock and a worldwide deal with Century Media was soon signed. The f rst album as part of
that deal (Forged by Fire) further established the band; but, it was the follow up Allegiancethat
really put the band on the map.
For the next two years Firewind toured in support of Allegiance (opening for Dragonforce and
All That Remains) in three continents and clocking up thousands of miles. The hard work paid
off as both Allegiance and the acclaimed follow up The Premonition albums made it to the
Top 10 in Greece and the Mercenary Man single became a Top 5 hit. The Premonition also
charted in Japan.
Despite the bands success, Gus was always ready to get back out on the road so when Arch
Enemy needed a temporary replacement for their guitarist MichaelAmott, Gus was f rst in line. it
was on Arch Enemys 2005 Ozzfest appearances that Gus f rst caught the eye of the Osbourne
camp.
Four years later Gus was invited to audition for the guitar role in Ozzy
s band. He was then asked
to perform with the band at Blizzcon 2009, where he ripped through Ozzy classics, remembering to stay faithful to the original songs but adding enough of his own individuality to ensure that
his appearance was met with a unanimous thumbs up from the fans.
The end of 2010 will be an equally busy year for Gus with not only the new Ozzy Osbourne album hitting the shelves but theres also a brand new Firewind CD, the eagerly anticipated follow
up to their highly rated The Premonition release due at the end of 2010.
