Summary:

The Thrash Guitar Method first takes you through a series of full band jams which teach the techniques and build the endurance necessary to play the most aggressive speed metal. This is stuff like early Metallica, Slayer, White Zombie, Prong, Pantera, and more. Part Two puts you to the test with three full-length instrumental guitar tunes written and performed by Troy Stetina and co-author Tony Burton. Mixed by Don Dokken and Troy Stetina at 710 Studios, Redondo Beach, California.

Includes: Power muting and accenting, speed rhythm techniques, thrash scales and theory, shifting time and shifting accents plus other rhythmic devices, and more. Recommended for graduates of Metal Rhythm Guitar Volume 1 or 2, or any intermediate-level guitarist with a death wish!
