'Willie Adler' History:
BiographyWillie Adler (born 1976) is the rhythm guitarist of the metal band Lamb of God, and is the younger brother of bandmate Chris Adler. Willie joined the band after Abe Spear, the first guitarist (alongside Mark Morton) left the band. He is well known for an unconventional style of playing which includes odd chord shapes, unique timing patterns, odd rhythms and high usage of his fretting hand pinky finger. He plays mostly the jagged staccato riffs in Lamb of God's songs while Mark Morton plays more of the groove-oriented rhythms. He is described by Lamb of God bassist John Campbell as a "good time guitar player." Adler has written the songs "Hourglass", "Blood of the Scribe", "Beating on Death's Door" "Ashes of the Wake", and "Again We Rise", among many others in Lamb of God. Adler leaves most of the guitar soloing in Lamb of God to co-guitarist Mark Morton due to his vast knowledge of scales, keys, and modes. Adler is completely self taught at guitar. source: Wikipedia |
