Metal Guitar Tricks: Techniques for Lead Guitar

If you really want to learn how to play Heavy Metal guitar then you will want to pick up all of the instructional method books by Troy Stetina. From the beginning guitarist to shred monsters, he covers it all.

It unravels a lot mysteries of rock and metal guitar. The chapters on harmonics, right-hand fretting, and whammy bar tricks are my favorites. Highly recommended for anyone interested in shred guitar.

The title of this book is perfect. It is about squeals, whammy bar moves, two-handed tapping, and more. Starting out basic, it covers metal techniques from hammer-ons and pull-offs all the way to tremolo flutters and more. The example solos do not have a backing band, so they are a bit empty; I think that a little more time could have been put into showing useful examples of the tricks, but it's good enough (especially for the price!)

I'd rather have had online access (not CD), like I have with the rest of my halleonard products.

very nice for beginners!

I bought this book thinking that Im going to learn the tricks of the trade about making unique sounds, As i was led to believe that this book has it all, As it was marketed for beginners aswell as advance players. Now Ive been playing guitar for over 15 years. Upon receiving this book and taking a brief glance at it. I realised that i must be a better player than Steve Vai, as I already knew every thing that this book had to offer.In Brief:If your starting to play guitar or just learning lead guitar, this book is great.. But if youve been playing for a while or you are in a band, dont waste your time with this book.

Boom was supposed to be brand new and is clearly several years old.

This cd shows you some nice metal tricks practice makes perfect. Nice guitar book.
