APTV recently sat down with HALESTORM‘s Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger to learn how to play the band’s hit song “Amen”. Lzzy and Joe also told APTV how they learned to play guitar and what they use to create their signature sound on stage. Lzzy said that “you can’t go wrong with a really good guitar and a good amp” while Joe stressesd the importance of a tuner. Check out the clip below.

HALESTORM is currently preparing to record a third covers EP to follow 2011’s “ReAniMate” and 2013’s “ReAniMate 2.0”.

The band’s first two albums, 2009’s “Halestorm” and 2012’s “The Strange Case Of…” were both officially certified gold in March by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for sales of more than 500,000 copies. The certifications came after RIAA started including on-demand audio and video streams and a track sale equivalent in gold and platinum album award.

“Into The Wild Life” debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 album chart, selling 56,000 copies in its first week of release — more than double the first-week haul of their second CD — but has not reached gold yet.
