Roseville, CA (prHWY.com) August 14, 2012 - If you went to Music China 2011 in Shanghai, the Frankfurt MusikMessa in Germany, or just tuned into his YouTube channel then you've already had your mind blown by the electrifying, lightning fingered virtuoso guitarist, Metal Method Guitar instructor and international performer Dan Mumm. Now, Dan is preparing to go into the studio to produce his first full length studio album of neoclassical rock and metal music. To help him achieve that goal, he is turning, as so many musicians, artists and filmmakers do these days, to the website Kickstarter.

Dan combines neoclassical with modern hard rock and metal stylings to create a hard hitting and highly melodic musical blend. Dan has taken a wide variety of popular Classical pieces from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras and arranged them in his own style. His goal is to maintain the beauty and complexity of the pieces, while bringing new elements into the mix to create a hybrid sound that is both epic and infectious. Dan's original songs maintain a clear Neo-Classical feel, while frequently crossing genres and bringing in unexpected hints of other styles including Fusion, Rock, a variety of Metal and modern Metal subgenres, Jazz, Blues, and others. Whether it is one of his arrangements or one of his original pieces, Dan is known for his precision, seemingly impossible guitar techniques, and feeling in his playing.

Aside from his countless live shows and performances, Dan has already made a name for himself as a guitarist and musician through a variety of avenues. He has released three advanced instructional DVD programs for guitar with legendary instructor Doug Marks' Metal Method series. His program 'Sweep Pick Mechanics' was one of the top selling programs for Metal Method upon it's release. Dan has also garnered much attention on the popular video site YouTube.com, with rapidly growing views, currently over 425,000, from his music videos for his original songs and arrangements of popular Classical pieces.

Michael Angelo Batio (voted "No. 1 Shredder of All Time" by Guitar One Magazine, and one of the "Top 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists of All Time" by Guitar World Magazine): called Dan "one of the best guitarists in this new generation of players".

Kickstarter features artistic projects that come to fruition because of donations from internet surfers, from those who are long time supporters of the arts to those who contribute just once because they've stumbled onto a project that captures their imagination.
