5.0 out of 5 stars Beginner Metal HEADS START WITH TROY!!!!!, February 26, 2003

By	Raven J. Hagewood "theerave" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is from the Stetina series on Rythm Guitar of Heavy Metal. Beginners in this style should start with This. WHY? You will be playing Metal with in a few minutes. Comes with CD with Examples and full length song with full backing band. NO Mary Had A Little Lamb either. Straight Ugly Twisted Metal. You also teachs some theory painlessly. WOnderful layout and most of all Troy has been teaching for years and you can tell by his chronology and gradual movement of the material. HE even demonstrates different amp settings and the sound different effects give you. Even a glossary. If your like on the outside trying to get in on Heavy Guitar Fast 5 Stars,. Also he has classic books on lead as he is a big shred head with incredibile technique.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great start., April 22, 2005

By	cwats - See all my reviews

This is a great book for a beginning guitarist. I have only been using it for a few weeks, and I have noticed a lot of improvement. As long as you do all the exercises several times until you get them straight, you will improve a lot. Because of this book, I will look into getting Vol. 2, also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Troy Stetina rules!, August 12, 2007

By	K. Wilcox - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Of the 30 or so guitar method books I own, the Troy Stetina collection is by far the most useful. His method is somewhat similar to the musicians institute series of instruction, except that his series tends to focus on a particular style of music rather than just general learning. This particular book is great as it is progressive. Start at the beginning of the book and work your way through at your own pace. That's it -- easy schmeezy lemon squeezy. Also, buy a metronome and you'll get even more out of it.
