Guitarist Dave Nassie of Orange County, California's BLEEDING THROUGH has issued the following update:

"Just wanted let all the BLEEDING THROUGH fans out there (who might be interested) know that I am teaching guitar lessons and I am currently taking on new students in the Los Angeles, Orange County, and Southern California areas.

"I have been teaching guitar since the age of 14. I teach all styles and techniques as well as music theory and orchestration. I have done many clinics throughout the world focusing on technique and writing and have worked with many artist in the studio and at home.

"Age is no limit; I currently have students that range in ages from 6 years old to 60 and have recently joined forces with Schecter Guitars and I am excited about working with them on the teaching front as well.

"I can come to you or you can come to me... I have all the tools to make lessons functional and easy and I provide everything!

"In the times when the band tours, I have the capability to do web lessons and keep lesson plans consistent, so there is no break in the teaching process. This has worked well with my current students and proves to be very functional.

"Please contact me at dnassie@yahoo.com if you are interested? $25 dollars a half hour is my current rate.

"I hope to hear from some of you and appreciate your time."

Nassie joined BLEEDING THROUGH as the replacement for Jona Weinhofen, who left the band earlier in the year.

BLEEDING THROUGH recently inked a deal with the Portland, Oregon-based independent record label Rise Records.

The group's latest album, "Declaration", sold around 6,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 101 on The Billboard 200 chart. Released in September 2008, the CD was recorded in Vancouver, Canada with producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, LAMB OF GOD, SOILWORK, DARKEST HOUR) and is said to be thematically the band's most diverse album to date, addressing a variety of topics on tracks like "There Was a Flood" and "Death Anxiety".
