Let’s explore for a moment this miraculous poster print. This is called “Guitar lessons: A series of master classes” as given by the biggest and best guitarists in history. This illustration is set down on paper by swankmaster draw-artist Maxim Dalton (more on the physical manifestation of this poster below.) Dalton’s got a hankerin for a rock and roll shred-a-thon and he’s invited quite a few WFDJ’s favorites!

Get personal lessons in the art of picking the right strings from all of your favorites! Frank Zappa, George Harrison, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Johnny Ramone, Jack White, The Edge, Chuck Berry, Angus Young, Pete Townshend, Tony Iommi, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, Ace Frehley, Ritchie Blackmore, Duane Allman, Kirk Hammett, Carlos Santana, John Frusciante, Yngwie Malmsteen (arpeggios from hell!), Kurt Cobain, Mike Bloomfield, Jerry Garcia, Ry Cooder, Bo Diddley, Jeff Beck, Tom Morello, Brian Setzer and Peter Green.

There’s good ol’ Ace.

Notice the excellent method with which these characters are brought to life. All of their eyes are closed. They’ve each got their poses on, where applicable of course, and without too much of a trained eye you can see that Dalton’s done his homework on the guitars.

Pretty nice detailz.

+ As with everyone else who’ll ever look at this poster, I’d like to make some suggestions for the next set you make, mister Dalton: Kerry King, Buckethead, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell, Jeff Hanneman, and oh my god where in the raspberry beret is PRINCE?

This project will be available soon as a giclée print – 19″ x 25″, limited edition of 50, signed and numbered by Maxim Dalton himself. If you want in on this bad boy, email maximdalton@gmail.com for information on pre-ordering! Somewhere around $51 shipped to the US or Europe. Killer!
