About the Author

Steve Lynch started playing bass guitar in 1968 but switched over to guitar the day his hero, Jimi Hendrix, died: September 18th, 1970. He graduated from the Guitar Institute of Technology in 1979 earning the Most Likely to Succeed award. While attending GIT he wrote his first bestselling book, The Right Touch, a book about two-handed guitar playing. Steve's unique skills launched a storied career participating in a variety of rock bands including the famed Autograph and touring with headliners such as Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Aerosmith, Ronnie James Dio, Whitesnake, Brian Adams, and Heart. His band Autograph signed with RCA records and recorded three albums, producing the mega-hit Turn Up the Radio and selling more than five million copies. Steve also wrote two additional instructional books, recorded an instructional video, taught 325 clinics in twenty countries, recorded a solo album (Network 23), owned and operated a music school, and is now in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with his band Autograph in Cleveland, Ohio.
