I am an intermediate player and this guitar book is meant for shredders only. If you like poison, whitesnake, or guns n’ roses and want to emulate the intense guitar solos of the mid 80s, then this book is for you. I saw all the positive reviews for this book and purchased it but I must say that I just threw it out because it is just too overwhelming. I know all I would need to do is practice slowly day in and day out but the exercises are all just speed exercises. Granted, I’m sure you will perfect all aspects of your guitar playing, but if you are a beginner or an intermediate player, I think you will find this book just to be too much. That is my opinion.

I bought this for my 14yo, along with Metal Lead Guitar/Book and Cd (Vol. 1). They must be good because he leaves them all over the house after he’s used them. They keep moving around, so he must be using them.

This book is somewhat lame. He doesn’t really teach you much. All he really teaches you is how to hammer on and pull off fast. I thought he was going to teach how to transistion or something. Plus the CD is too damn fast. He tells you too follow along and he’s already 5 tracks ahead of you, so it gets pretty damn annoying having to sit there a rewind the damn CD every 10 seconds. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money on this one.

I play guit since 14 years ago, I made a lot of compo, I learn lead by myself with my own pratical and my own technique, but you know, you cannot recreate the wheel. I bought this book to know If I’m in a good way. When I receive this book, I read the first 10 page, and I didn’t read more, why… Because I got a lot of pratice with my left hand in that 10 page. This book will be the most useful book I never buy.
