For ALL aspiring HEAVY guitar lead players...rock OR metal!

This is the BEST! I held off starting my studies due to the title of this book. Being a ROCK player, not true "metal", I let the label steer me wrong. However, this book is FANTASTIC for ANYONE wanting to learn lead guitar in almost any genre.

Very well written, excellent examples. When you finish volume 1, you WILL be a lead player!

Thanks, Troy!

Another Great Book from Troy Stetina!

Once again, Troy Stetina has written an awsome guitar book. Metal Lead Guitar skips the small stuff that most guitarists already know and goes straight to the techniques you need! And, this is the first book that I have seen with a section for learning to use the wammy bar! This book is slightly challenging, so I do not reccommend this if you are new to guitar, but if you have the basics down and hopefully a little more, BUY THIS BOOK! You will fall in love with it!
