Sarah Longfield can probably beat you up on guitar – and will use two more strings doing it. Since starting on the piano early and switching to guitar at the age of 12, Sarah’s interests have widened to include drums and keyboards. After learning the basics on 6-string guitars for a couple of years she transitioned to 7 and finally 8-string guitars as her musical interests turned toward heavy, down-tuned metal.

As the blistering guitarist for for the progressive metal band Conducting From the Grave, Jeff is known as a guitarist that will rattle you to your bones with his barrage of frenetic riffs that also features stirring melodic harmonic content. With an…

It’s O.K. to make a mistake, but if the tone’s not there, then everyone goes home with a headache and nothing more.
