Summary: Worth writing a review for
Comment: I read every review on here and decided enough of them claimed that this book would provide results quickly that I'd give it a shot.
I received it two days ago and kid you not, am amazed at how my playing (speed and accuracy) has improved in that short time. I first listened to the CD and thought 'whoa, it'll be a year before I can reproduce that'. Then I got into the exercises. I put in 4 hours yesterday and 2 1/2 this morning. My arm is sore! More importantly, I'm playing runs that I would not have been able to two days ago. Now, I know I'll plateau, and struggle to improve after a certain point, but even if that point comes in another two days this book was worth the money. It broke me out of the "blues scale blues" and got me to rocking again. And it will only get better. I'm only 4 pages into it! Granted, I've been playing for 18 years, but 8 of those have been stagnent pulling my guitar out from under the bed only a couple times a year. I've got the bug again and this book is just fueling the drive to play better.

Summary: The Ultimate Lead Guitar Book
Comment: I haven't been playing guitar a very long time, maybe 6 years, but with the help of this tactical approach to speed, i am slowly picking up speed (even using my pinky, something i thought i would never do0. repetition and slow practicing is the key, and this shows you the way. don't get discouraged if you can't keep up with troy and his faster versions of each exrecise. keep it slow, work on it, and you'll get it. his view on finger independence is genius, literally introducing it within the first 2 pages of actual exercises. this is a good approach, and gives even those of experience a challange. though the cd is not essential for learning the routines, it does help and gives you an idea of where you are at when it comes to accuracy and speed.
not a begginers book! if you know what your doing and you could get you way around the guitar ok, get this book. it truely is the ultimate lead guitar book.

Summary: the best!!
Comment: i've been playing for 30 years and i've learned tons in the few short weeks i've had this. i use it as my number one teaching tool for my students. the neat thing about it is that it applies to all types of playing.i've even combined alot of hybrid pick and finger techniques to the ideas the author uses to really supercharge some of the exercises. i think the best thing about it, is that you really have to be patient and LEARN everything at a SLOW pace and gradually build your speed. that is the key to being a monster player. also, if you can't use your pinky, you better get ready to learn how to. if i had only one instructional tool to use, this would be it.
