Rusty Cooley is arguably one of the world’s most famous shredders in 2008 thanks to his classic debut album and band works in Outworld. Being a frequent columnist in numerous guitar magazines worldwide and a perpetual fans favourite on thousands of guitar websites and forums online; with one listen to Rusty’s self-titled solo album its easy to hear why.

With a technique that can only be described as flawless across not just 6, but 7 and 8 strings, Rusty takes the shreds foundations as laid down by the likes of Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhoads and Edward Van Halen and overdrives the intensity throughout a myriad of complex progressive arrangements all of which will have even the most hardened guitar fan scratching their head in amazement.

Yet the Rusty Cooley experience isn’t just about technique, Rusty is able to lay down his formidable fretboard skills into strong song frameworks that maintain the listener’s interest and hold up to countless spins. Its little wonder that high profile guitarists such as John Petrucci (Dream Theater) who stated, "There is a guy who kicked my ass in a major way – Rusty Cooley who I have become friends with. He is an ultra technical ultra shred monster man, a real kick in the ass. As I’ve said, it’s like you really think you can play and then you hear that stuff!" - (www.alloutguitar.com interview) and Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge) "When you hear Rusty Cooley's ability you will swear he wasn't human") hold Rusty in such high regard.
