About Flattus Maximus
View Full Biography
Flattus Maximus (Cory Smoot) is a guitarist in the heavy metal band GWAR. He is known by his red face, white dreadlocks, dinosaur-head shoulder pads and reptile feet. The name "Flattus" implies (verified by various concerts) a flatulent character. His speaking mannerisms suggest a childlike intelligence and naivety (until recently; his entries in the current website's blog depict a different, more violent Flattus).
Cory Smoot is also an up and coming music producer and studio owner. Cory's lessons on JamPlay cover 4 Gwar songs. Beware this guy has a ferocious right hand so make sure you have your metal chops up to par before attempting his lessons. Oh and Cory teaches in full Flattus costume so be prepared for some hilarious lessons!

Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Love it. Awesome chord progressions and licks. Don't listen to the detractors, Flattus... you don't need me to tell you that. I had fun watching and it'll be quite a while until I can be anywhere near this capable.
Thass...ummm...one well fed guitar stokin' demon. Flattus may wanna think about drinking lite beer from now on. Oh well, as they tend to say, Rock On!!
