ALTER BRIDGE guitarist Mark Tremonti sat down and talked with Music Radar recently about his approach, from a guitar perspective, to new album AB III.

In the interview, he talks candidly about how he is perpetually the student- always keen to learn new skills, new approaches and address his weaknesses. “I‘m not afraid to admit my weaknesses – everybody’s got ’em” he says, “…any guitar player I sit down with – known or unknown – I always try and ask them a question like, What are your three go-to licks? What are your three most useful licks? That’s always a big one for me. And I’ve done that with Myles, I’ve done that with Clint Lowery, Eric Friedman, with tons of guys. I’m a student forever, you know?”

Mark even discusses the guitar skills of Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy, saying “His guitar playing is severely underrated. He’s a world class guitar player. He’s got the best vibrato and feel of just about anybody I’ve ever seen. His style is just pure class.”
