Summary:

Beginning Rock Lead Guitar teaches the essential soloing techniques used by guitarist legends like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Eddie Van Halen plaus many of today's popular players including Jerry Cantrell, Slash, Kirk Hammett, and others. This book is a companion to the Beginning Rock Rhythm Guitar video and features parallel content -- transcriptions of each lick, solo, and exercise played in the video, along with fretboard diagrams, explanations and references.

As the name suggests, it starts out at the beginner stage. But being a true 'Troy Stetina' method, it goes well beyond that and into some reasonably challenging territory before it's through. Therefore, it is suitable for intermediate-level players as well as beginners.

Covers: Minor and major pentatonic scales and licks in several positions, hammer/pull, bending, alternate picking format, accuracy and speed exercises, blending major and minor tonalities, finger vibrato and bending variations, and other secrets to help make your licks come alive.
