Hey, thanks for clicking on this newsletter, and I'm sure you're very excited about this massive announcement I have, so here goes:
I've decided to stay bald.
I know this must come as a shock to most of you, but what's even MORE shocking is all of the stuff we're doing here on the Patreon and Youtube this month!
FIRST UP:
I am currently in Montreal working on some REAL COOL STUFF with my buddy Greg for our upcoming guitar company: Ethos Guitars! Her...

Hey everyone,
So, you're probably familiar with my band, Archspire.
I’ve been in the band for over 16 years, and honestly it's been the main driving force in my life since day one.
I've poured tens of thousands of hours into this project writing music, planning tours, working with artists for album art and t-shirt designs. From recording rough demos to working with world-renowned producer Dave Otero. From cramming into a van with no trailer to tourin...

Hello, I am Dean. Welcome all new members to the Patreon! Here's what we got goin on this week:
PATREON Q&A QUESTIONS
I'm flying back home from the studio on Saturday, and I want to get some fun questions for an upcoming Q&A video, so please leave something here so I can rely on you to figure out what to say on camera. Sometimes my brain don't work so good.
We have one more week left!!!
Our new drummer Spencer Moore absolutely CRUSHED the tracking session, we are so stoked to show everyone what we've been working on here.
Guitar solos and vocals will be finished this week!
Also tomorrow we're going to go see 28 years later and I'm very excited about it.

Hey!!
It took LITERALLY WEEKS but we uncovered ALL of Dean's lesson material from his old website, just for you guys!
This one's got a few licks that use a whoooole bunch of techniques, and some of it comes from Archspire's 2017 album 'Relentless Mutation'
Have fun! These are tough ones!

GREET
We are gathered here today to celebrate the fantastic production and mixing skills of one David Otero, who has sacrificed his time and sanity to record my terrible, terrible band. I'll be here until later this month, so if you wanna hit me up on DMs about guitar stuff, I'm around and available. We're running free trials all over the place here at the Patreon, and you'd literally be LOSING MONEY not to check it out. 2025-06-12 01:27:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Today marks 11 years with this guy. She looks pretty angry in this photo but I promise she's also angry in real life. Glad to be celebrating our anniversary 2,300km apart from eachother!

We are living like kings here in Denver. First day of drum tracking today and it's sounding REALLY awesome, so we are treating ourselves to way too much ice cream.
Dean "Gains 30lbs in the studio" Lamb
Heyyyy-yyy!
We're officially in the studio, starting drum tracking tomorrow. Here's a photo of an absolutely mangled burrito our producer Dave is... saving for later? Looks pretty awful if you ask me.
Wish us luck!
Dean "I would still eat it" Lamb
Heyy!
We're STILL digging up older lesson packages that Dean had stored away can you believe that?? Dudes keeping all of this stuff for himself apparently.
Anyways here's a slick little package of licks that you can incorporate into your daily warmup routine!
Have fun!

Hey!!
This past week has been insane—let’s jump in.

You heard that right. After over a decade signed to a label, Archspire is officially independent—and it’s all thanks to YOU.
To top it off, our Kickstarter hit its goal in just 12 hours. Unreal!

Hey!!
We're STILL finding old lesson videos from Dean's archives, and this ones pretty fun!
In here is:
1 Alternate Picking Excercise

Hey everyone!
After 13 incredible years signed with Season of Mist Records, we’re now officially independent.
No label means no safety net. We’re now financially responsible for everything ourselves: studio time, vinyl pressing, artwork, videos, PR, distribution, and more.
Independence gives us full control of our future, but it also means we’re relying on our fans more than ever before to make it happen.

We’ve been getting a ton of awesome suggestions for workouts and lesson ideas—thank you so much for sending them in. You guys rule.
One thing that keeps coming up over and over is music theory.
So Dean and I were thinking…
Are there specific theory topics you’re dying to learn more about?
Or are you totally new to theory and want us to start from square one with the...
