Mathisen, Stig
Guitar

Stig’s education includes a PhD and Master’s Degree in Studio/Jazz Guitar from University of Southern California as well as six years of classical training from Tromsoe University College in Norway, where he taught studio technology and guitar from 1999-2006. In 2007, Stig was tapped to join a reunion of the seminal band Alcatrazz, which launched the careers of former guitarists Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai, that resulted in the 2010 album Bleed Like Me (released under the band name Ashdown). His recent projects include an album recorded at Conway Studios with a band fronted by singer Paige Williams and his debut instrumental solo album, set for release in 2012, featuring three-time GRAMMY nominee and Emmy Award-winning bassist Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai) along with drummer and LAMA instructor Sandro Feliciano. At MI, Stig teaches Open Counseling, Private Lessons, Single String Improvisation, Rhythm Section Workshop, Theory, and Ear Training.
