Summary: Buy This
Review: I am purchasing my second copy of this book. I had the First edition which had a cassette. I am buying this one for my son with the cd. I learned every song in this book and still it leaves people slack Jawed when I play some of the selections I learned here. I am able to apply the techniques to other styles as well. If you want to learn to play not just fast but tasteful as well then you want this book. If you are willing to do the time to learn this stuff then you will be able to committ the crime....

Summary: great practice book
Review: It's a great practice book, if you want to improve your playing from the blues based style to neo-classical this is the book to study, very direct and simple. the Slow demo on the CD is great not too slow that you'll miss the "feel" but enough speed to play it properly.

Summary: Want to play classical music in heavy metal style?
Review: This book is great! It's played in 2 different speeds and with tablature. Play Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and J.S. Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Many others like R. Furetzer, N. Paganini, and more!

The book is short (46 pages), but you will spend a good amount of time practicing this stuff.
