NOTE: Users of this book should follow the "Practice Guidelines for Speed Mechanics" This is an excellent book for the serious rock/metal guitarist. Troy Stetina has put together a series of exercises designed to develop all the essential techniques used by the virtuoso electric guitarist. If you want to be blazing like Kirk, Eddie, Steve & Joe, this is the book for you! Scale patterns, tremelo picking, you name it, its in here! As usual, Troy provides an organized, systematic and progressive approach to technical development. For instance, you will develop alternate picking on a single string, in a variety of exercises, before going on to picking involving adjacent strings. This kind of approach prevents a haphazard training of the reflexes that results from randomly working on songs you happen to like. The student will gain, over time, an intuitive understanding of the logic of picking, which is an enormous help in learning new material on your own. (see "The Importance of Fingering"). Many of the exercises are actual licks from your favorite solos, such as Randy Rhoades (Ex. 38 Suicide Solution), and Malmsteen (Ex. 33). All of the material is directly usable for rock soloing.
