Summary:
Learn the trademark riffs and licks of the world's heaviest modern music! In Guitar Signature Licks, each song excerpted section is transcribed note-for-note and performed on the CD at both full tempo and in a slowed-down version. In addition, the CD is mixed with the featured guitar part isolated on one side so that you can use your stereo's balance control to hear just as much or as little of that guitar as needed.

The Best of Aggro-Metal includes:

• Southtown (P.O.D.)
• Sugar (System of a Down)
• From This Day (Machine Head)
• Faith (Limp Bizkit)
• Spit It Out (Slipknot)
• Denial (Sevendust)
• Bleed (Soulfly)
• Loco (Coal Chamber)
• Edgecrusher (Fear Factory)
• Come Original (311)
• Pardon Me (Incubus)
• Testify (Rage Against The Machine)
• Welcome to the Fold (Filter)
• When Worlds Collide (Powerman 5000)

Signature Licks books are a good way to get an informed "snapshot" of a band's style, as well as an effective learning tool to hone your playing skills and learn difficult stuff.
