Based on her harrowing experience with a debilitating shoulder injury, and the long recovery she went through, 7 string guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF has launched a new online course called Guitar Rehab. The course is created for guitarists who wants to prevent injuries, through healthy routines, and for injured guitarists who wants to recover.

When a guitarist gets injured, it is not only the high expenses for treatments with osteopaths, chiropractors, doctors and physios that hits them. It is also the absence of income from having to stop playing. The total cost, both financially and healthy wise can be devastating. The Chief says that she wants to help her fellow guitarists so they can prevent injuries so they do not have to go through the hell she went through.

The Course consists of 3 modules, with more than 20 videos in total, PDFs and checklists.

She shows her fellow guitarists her daily routines when it comes to stretches, exercises specifically for guitarists and also mental training for how to cope with injuries.

She was the first guitarist ever to record some of the most challenging pieces written for violin virtuosos: “Zigeunerweißen Op. 20” and “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso” – in addition to her guitar duel version of Paganini’s “Caprice 24.”

With success in Heavy Metal, being hailed as “1 of 10 modern guitar gods” by Metal Hammer UK, viral videos playing classical music – both playing her 7 string electric guitar, and critically acclaimed albums in acoustic music, playing her 7 string acoustic guitar, she is an extremely versatile guitar virtuoso.

A pre-order campaign for Guitar Rehab has been launched with official release date on October 18th. One of those who pre-order will get a free private guitar lesson with her. The pre-order offer is only €47 for the course.

“When I first worked with “The Commander In Chief” and heard her play the guitar I knew instantly she was rewriting the rule book on electric guitar faculty and propelling this instrument into an entirely different sound world, totally unique and entirely different from what we generally know of the electric guitar. Her unique and classical-esque guitar tone sings and transcends beauty, capturing emotion in such a way that it mesmerizes at every twist and turn of the melody and blends beautifully with the orchestra. 

Simply put, “The Commander In Chief” has given the electric guitar an entirely new and refreshingly different life form, one which fascinates and inspires when you hear it, and one that for me as a music producer is incredibly fulfilling to work with.”  John Haywood – Music Producer

With her stunningly beautiful, catchy, re-written versions of the classical masterpieces “Toccata & Fugue” and “Moonlight Sonata”, 7 string guitarist, singer, songwriter and pianist THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF solidifies her role as the leading trailblazer among electric guitar virtuosos today. The two songs are part of a 13 tracks album – “The Virtuoso” – with release on the 20th of November. 

These two songs are the result of her collaboration with platinum selling, super producer John Haywood (known for his many years of collaboration with leading violin virtuoso David Garrett), who produced, orchestrated and co-arranged the two songs.

In addition to the 2 new tracks from her collaboration with Haywood, the album features 8 tracks from her best selling 2014 album “2 Guitars – The Classical Crossover Album” – which was her successful collaboration with world leading classical guitarist Craig Ogden. It includes their historical guitar recording of “Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso,” in addition to the first ever guitar recording of “Zigeunerweisen Op. 20” and their guitar duel of Paganini’s “Caprice 24.” The music videos for the last two songs went viral. The 8 songs from the collaboration with Craig Ogden were produced, engineered and mixed by James Mottershead, who also engineered the two songs produced by John Haywood.

“The Virtuoso” also includes 3 original bonus tracks, showcasing her incredibly beautiful, bel canto trained, soprano voice, all recorded “live” with no use of auto tune, in addition to her songwriting and piano playing. The three acoustic songs were co-produced, engineered and mixed by “The Commander In Chief” and her manager.

All the songs on the album were mastered by legendary, award winning mastering expert Stephen Marsh.

“Toccata & Fugue” and “Moonlight Sonata” were mixed by award winning engineer/producer Goetz Botzenhardt.

The album will be released on all digital platforms on November 20th, 2020. Signed CDs are available for pre-order on her website,  commandermusic.com now, with 2 FREE ringtones and an immediate download of “Toccata and Fugue” as a bonus for everyone who pre-orders the album.

The 7 string guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter and pianist internationally known as THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF is thrilled to release the result of her very exciting collaboration with multi platinum selling producer John Haywood; her very own, re-written versions of “Toccata & Fugue” and “Moonlight Sonata”, with full orchestration.

Watch below a teaser from the upcoming music video.

These two masterful versions of the songs have been added to the already impressive track-list of the new, upcoming DELUXE version of her best selling album; “2 Guitars – The Classical Crossover Album,” which was the exciting and beautiful result of her collaboration with world leading classical guitarist Craig Ogden. Originally released in 2014, the album charted at number 1 on Amazon, USA, and has gone in and out of the charts in several countries, since then.

With “Toccata” and “Moonlight” added to this DELUXE version of the album , the track-list now includes 5 impressive virtuoso pieces, not normally played on guitar, including the first ever guitar recordings of “Zigeunerweisen Op. 20” (her music video for this instantly went viral) and “Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso.” It also features their much acclaimed version of Paganini’s “Caprice 24,” which also had a viral music video.

In addition to the virtuoso pieces, the album also features several other beautiful tracks, such as their widely praised guitar version of “Por Una Cabeza” and “Una Furtiva Lagrima.”

“The Chief” has launched a pre-order campaign for the DELUXE version of the album, where music lovers can get their name in the CD booklet, if they order before October 18th.

The album will be available on all digital platforms, in addition to her official website. Signed CDs are available for pre-order on her official website now.

As said by “The Commander In Chief:“

“It has taken me 4 long years to get back to playing the classical crossover songs again, after my long period of illness and painful recovery, caused by a parasite infection. No one can possibly understand the happiness I feel right now, being able to play the most beautiful music ever composed again. It was a true honour to be able to work with John Haywood on these two beautiful tracks, and I am incredibly proud of the result.”
