Rock and metal's finest are uniting for the 'School's Out' intiative Some of rock and metal’s leading musicians are offering online lessons to music students who are self-isolating due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The ‘School’s Out’ initiative is organised by Megadeth bassist David Ellefson’s own David Ellefson Youth Music Foundation, which is an affiliate of the Grammy Music Education Coalition, and is aimed at high school students and younger.
Ellefson’s Megadeth band members Dirk Verbeuren and Kiko Loureiro are among the musicians teaching lessons, as are Alice Cooper guitarist Nita Strauss, former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal, Five Finger Death Punch bassist Chris Kael, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and more.
