And here is the official press release for Pete Thorn's upcoming release. Stay tuned:
ACE SESSION AND TOURING MUSICIAN PETE THORN RELEASES MUCH ANTICIPATED FIRST SOLO ALBUM, GUITAR NERD, ON MAY 31, 2011
(LOS ANGELES, CA...MAY 4, 2011) - Guitar Nerd is Pete Thorn’s first all instrumental guitar album set to release on May 31, 2011. Pete’s virtuosity shines through an eclectic mix of high energy rock and intricate melodic compositions. “The goal was to make a great sounding instrumental rock guitar record, with no compromises artistically or stylistically” says Pete. “I didn’t worry about what is “cool” or “not cool”, I just played a bit of everything that I like to play! In short, “Guitar Nerd” is a true reflection of me - I am (and always will be) a guitar nerd!” Guitar Nerd will be available at CD Baby and iTunes on May 31, 2011.
Guitar Nerd was written and produced by Pete and features three mixes from Grammy® Award winning engineer and producer Bob Clearmountain (The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams). Other artists appearing on Guitar Nerd include Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), Jon Button (Roger Daltry, Robben Ford, Sheryl Crow) and Jorgen Carlsson (Gov’t Mule) on bass and Blair Sinta (Alanis Morissette, Melissa Etheridge), Toss Panos (Michael Landau, Steve Lukather, John Scofield, Larry Carlton), and Dorian Crozier (Pink, Celine Dion) on drums.
Pete represents a new generation of talented LA session and touring musicians having performed with Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave), James Blunt, Jewel, Daniel Powter, Alicia Keys, and Courtney Love (Hole). Pete can currently be seen touring with Grammy® Award winning artist Melissa Etheridge. Pete has performed to millions of fans worldwide and is actively involved with millions of online users with his popular YouTube channel demonstrations for fine audio and instrument manufacturers including TC Electronic, Carl Martin, and Suhr Guitars. Pete is sponsored by EVH® Gear (Eddie Van Halen) and plays through the Suhr PT100 amp developed by John Suhr with input from Pete.

1000 Guitar Nerd CD's... sitting in my living room. exciting, and anxiety-provoking all in one, haha! Sending these out to CDBaby and I should have my page up there by mid next week.
Some more shameless self-promo, if anyone's interested, here's my Reverbnation page with samples of 6 tunes streaming on my player, and Perplexed, the 2nd track on Guitar Nerd:

thanks dude! Just finished a 70 minute video lesson, the regular CD/download will be available may 31 through CD baby and all the usual suspects (itunes etc) but on may 17 the CD/lesson pre-release package will go up for sale at CDbaby only. Order a CD between may 17 and may 31, and you get the lesson! After may 31, that's all she wrote... doing it as kind of a special thing.

Hey Pete:
From one guitarist to another, all I can say is THANK YOU. I've been keen of your work for many years now. You've dedicated a lot of your time as a touring pro to help out guitarists of a lesser ilk on these forums -- needless to say, its much appreciated and your insights are very helpful. I am absolutely looking forward to buying a copy of your solo release when it comes out on May 17. Much luck to you this year!
