Wow! I Can FINALLY Play Lead Guitar!!!!!!
Don't let the title of this book mislead you. This is more than just Metal guitar...a lot more! It's Metal plus any style of rock lead guitar from the late sixties to the present. Basically, if you have an electric guitar, an amp, some form of overdive/distortion and you want to play rock lead, then you need this book.

Troy's method is unique in that he has developed a notation system that combines guitar TAB with rhythm notation, which makes it very easy to learn what is being shown. All of the material is presented in bite sized pieces along with some pretty cool licks to practice it with. Everything that is in the book is demonstrated on the CD. Each chapter concludes with a complete original song with full band backing. It's played on the CD first with the lead part and then without, so that you can hear how it should sound and then jam along with the band. So at the end of the first chapter you're already playing lead guitar! However, I would not recommend this book to someone who is just starting to learn how to play. If you're a newbie I'd recommend Troy's "Metal Lead Guitar Primer" to learn all of the basics first (written in the same format with licks and songs).

Troy also mixes in a little bit of music theory, speed exercises and improvisational technique, thus helping you to develop your own sound and style.

It's very simple: IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY ROCK LEAD GUITAR BUY THIS BOOK!

Top Shelf learning material.
Before you spend a lot of money on learning how to really make a guitar take off like a rocket, try a book by Troy Stetina. After purchasing this book and "Speed Mechanics For Lead Guitar" I put seven or eight hundred dollars worth of other instructional material on the shelf. The lower shelf. Troy Stetina is not only one of the finest guitar players around, he is also the best teacher I have found. He disproves the old saying "Those who can't do, teach".

Another Great Book from Troy Stetina!
Once again, Troy Stetina has written an awsome guitar book. Metal Lead Guitar skips the small stuff that most guitarists already know and goes straight to the techniques you need! And, this is the first book that I have seen with a section for learning to use the wammy bar! This book is slightly challenging, so I do not reccommend this if you are new to guitar, but if you have the basics down and hopefully a little more, BUY THIS BOOK! You will fall in love with it!
