Metal Lead Guitar Primer [With CD (Audio)] (Troy Stetina) Paperback – 1 Jan. 1992

Troy Stetina has been a foremost figure in rock and heavy metal guitar instruction for many years - and his book series is exactly where any aspiring rock or metal player should start! Metal Lead Guitar Primer is a brilliant, comprehensive and easy-to-follow entry level lead guitar book, but don't let the term 'entry-level' fool you - because even intermediate to advanced players will find knowledge in here.What you get is a whole host of techniques and basic theory, along with two exercise tracks to build and craft your lead skills - and trust me when I say, Troy knows how to keep things fun! Good job, Mr Stetina!

good book for lead guitar beginner, and the condition is brand-new

I have bought Troy Stetina books (many of them) and wanted to learn to play the guitar from beginning. The books looked by the content and text that it is a good idea. It wasn't. These books are excellent as supplement books learning material. On its own, if they are used as main, and the only source of information, they are lacking basics so much that it becomes a problem later. In my opinion, based on my own experience, it is best to use different book(s) by different authors to make sure to have different views and approaches, different learning materials to learn basics first and then go back to Troy's books and then they are excellent. Simply, for beginners as it says, yes, however not that this book will teach you that much that you will go out of being a beginner. Other books by the author won't do it either. They will become too advanced and you will still be missing the fundamentals. Again, my opinion only - maybe for other people it will work differently.

I purchased this to assist with my journey into rock god heaven,but soon realised my limitations as this book was in my opinion not for a newbie fret slayer (ideas above my station).There is plenty of good tunes to play but i soon realised it was too advanced for my limited playing ability might suit someone more advanced or someone who picks things up quicker.
