Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Play Metal Guitar: The Basics and Beyond (How to Play Series) (Guitar Player Musician's Library) (Paperback)
My teenage son ordered this book, he received an electric guitar for xmas. I can say I can hear a difference from before he had the book to after, he says its very easy to follow. He seems to be picking it up pretty fast. I think using this book is a good start for anyone.
