Join us for an exclusive UK run of clinics with an Ibanez artist, Wes Hauch, hosting inspiring modern metal masterclasses at guitarguitar!

Calling all metal fans & shredders of Birmingham and London! The mighty Wes Hauch is about to descend on your cities and guitarguitar are buzzing to host him for two exclusive clinics!

Meet the Artist

Wes Hauch is an American metal musician, songwriter, producer and an Ibanez artist currently on lead guitar duty in his own death metal band Alluvial (formerly also in Black Dahlia Murder).

One of the most respected metal guitarists of his generation, Hauch is best known for his insanely tasteful metal technical proficiency and memorable melodies contrasting against extremely heavy tracks.

Wes Hauch is also one of the most in-demand session/live guitarists and his playing has won him a place in the hearts of die-hard Dimebag Darrell fans (no easy spot to fill!). Wes Hauch is undeniably viewed by many as the modern-day metal guitar hero.

What’s This Clinic All About

As a renowned tech death metal guitarist, Wes Hauch will focus on showcasing his extensive picking techniques in the context of rhythm, speed and accuracy. This is a real treat for fans of heavy, 7-string playing!

Attendees will have the opportunity to see a metal virtuoso in action up close and ask questions during the open Q&A session upon the end of Wes’s presentation. Every attendee will also get the chance to meet Wes, take a photo and grab an autograph.

On top of that, guitarguitar will have a selection of Ibanez 7 string guitars and a selection of the Iceman models, including the Ibanez ICTB721 Iceman Iron Label Limited Edition Black Flat 7-String (Wes’ weapon of choice) available for purchase on the night!

Our Wes Hauch Modern Metal Masterclass in Association with Ibanez will take place at guitarguitar Birmingham on Tuesday 22nd September 2026 at 7:00 pm.
