Welcome to the Church Of The Downstroke

Stefan Weber

On this holy ground...

... we worship the downstroke as the most essential guitar technique that gives our playing the power, the precision and the tightness to master any riff.

Let me give you an introduction to the place and tell you what to expect.

At the heart of my playing stands the downstroke which my music heavily reflects. This is true for my techniques in general, but also influences significantly how I compose and play guitar. Because I hold it in such a high regard, I decided to build this place around it and this is how it was named.

The main focus of this page will be about guitar lessons and new music that will not be released through one of my bands. All news about me, my bands and projects I am involved in will go online here and you’ll find regular updates to my live schedule.

There will be a whole section with instructional videos and courses where I’ll try to share some of the guitar techniques I use and how to approach practicing for the best gains.

I write a lot of music that is not intended for any band I play in but until now never had a place to see the light of day. All new stuff of mine will be released here and you can expect a somewhat different style from what I do with Rage and Scanner.

There will be tons of additional content as well. Backstage videos, nerd stuff, outtakes and behind the scenes material and much more.

Join me in the Church Of The Downstroke for an exciting journey!

Stefan
