I have been playing guitar for over 30 years professionally &amp; currently play guitar for GAMMA featuring Davey Pattison. GAMMA was originally formed by Davey and Ronnie Montrose back in the 80&#8217;s and had the radio hits: &#8220;Right the First Time&#8221;, &#8220;Razor King&#8221;, and everyone&#8217;s favorite &#8220;Voyager&#8221;.\u00a0 With the\u00a0 passing of rocks legendary Ronnie Monstrose, there was a benefit concert in his honor. At the benefit Ronnie&#8217;s Manager and Davey Pattison decided to reform GAMMA. Not long after, I got the call to play guitar for the band and as the say &#8211; the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been blessed to share the stage with Boston, Metallica, Quiet Riot, Joe Satriani, Deep Purple, Steve Vai, Journey, Michael Schenker, as well as written guitar music for television shows, video games, and indie films. <strong>SO, the guitar lessons that I&#8217;m sharing with you &#8211; are from <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">real-world<\/span> experience in the industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1441\" style=\"width: 641px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1441\" data-attachment-id=\"1441\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/free-guitar-lessons\/saratoga-with-deep-purple\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?fit=1443%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1443,960\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Saratoga with Deep Purple\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Gamma with Deep Purple Live&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?fit=631%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1441\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitarlessons\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple-1024x681.jpg?resize=631%2C420\" alt=\"\" width=\"631\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?w=1443&amp;ssl=1 1443w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tommymerry.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Saratoga-with-Deep-Purple.jpg?w=1262&amp;ssl=1 1262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tommy Merry performing with Gamma (featuring Davey Pattison) with Deep Purple Live<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This site will always be a great source of free guitar lessons for you.
