Thank you for writing Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar. I have had the book for 2 months and my playing has improved more than it had in the last year! I recently auditioned successfully for my first band and I have you to thank.

It's the best book available!

It's the best book about guitar playing I ever read, the first time I thought I could pay ten times more for such information. As a player, you're in the same rank as MacAlpine, Morse or Vinnie Moore. Your detailed analysis, inspired greatly my playing and musical understanding.

Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar has changed my life! You are truly awesome. Not only as a world class player, but as an excellent teacher! I've improved my playing abilities in exponential amounts. Did I mention you were awesome? To me your book is worth a lot more than what I paid for it. I've learned that the skills and inspiration come from my fingers and my brain, not from Fender or Les Paul!

I recently purchased Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar and was totally knocked out. The material itself is awesome! I've just started practicing and already feel a difference in my fingers. It is amazing how thoroughly you covered the ingredients of soloing. The exercises are killer! Your playing on the CD is phenominal!

I love your book! It's considered a Bible!

Troy--I really like your book Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar. It's the most exciting thing that came along next to my new one-year-old boy.

Your book is a prize winner!

Finally an instructional book and cassette that has made me see the light. I've been in a major rut for about 9 months and in that time period I must have invested over $200 in video tapes, books, etc. I saw your book in a store and my first thought was "another book" but to my surprise this is "the book." I definitely worship it and hide it from my band mate (just joking). Thanks again.

I just bought Speed Mechanics and I can't tell you how impressed I am. It is awesome. Not only does it give you chops from Hell! It gives you a real sense of direction. This one really separates the men from the boys.
--J.C., Louisiana
I have to tell you that your book Speed Mechanics is, without a doubt, the best guitar instruction book. I've had it for only 2 weeks and already my playing has improved at least 50%. Keep up the great work!!
--P.A., Alabama
I'm very happy buy all your books - especially Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar. It's the cool book!
--W.H.C., Hong Kong
Troy, I'm sitting here practicing your awesome cyclic patterns from Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar. They kick ass! And I'm improving more than ever.
--T.A., New York
Your style is excellent and your abilities are downright awesome. [It] is the most inspiring instructional book I've ever seen. The way you start out slow and then speed up to blitzoid is amazing. But what I like most is the book's purpose. You are the best of the best!
--T.L., Maine
You are a very impressive player. Why aren't you with Vai and Malmsteen in the Guitar Hall of Fame?
--L.M., Nebraska
Your Speed Mechanics book is a huge help to me!! Hearing you play, you are the one I want to be as good as.

I'm usually not a person who writes companies, or someone how comments on peoples' products, but I absolutely must tell you what your book has done for me. I have been playing guitar for about 4 years, since I was 14 years old, and about 6 months ago I joined a band. I was a rhythm guitar player, because I couldn't play a lot of fast solos, as a matter of fact I couldn't play any solos. I bought your book about 3 months ago, and it was the answer to my dreams. Now I've had 5 offers from people in the last month to teach them for money, people that were at the same level as me a year ago, people that have been playing for five years. I knew I was getting really good at lead when I went to take my first guitar lesson ever - about 2 weeks ago - and I just blew away the teacher! Thank you again, I owe my success to you and your book.
--T.F., Virginia
I have never come across a book so intense and imaginative. I can't thank you enough for all the great ideas you've put in. Thanks for the cool lesson and book, from a truly hardcore disciple.
--D.S., Michigan
I purchased your book Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar and it was the best purchase I've made aside from buying my first guitar. I can always count on it to give me a good workout and it sure beats those other books that are full of aimless exercises. Thanks.
--A.H., Pennsylvania
I have recently purchased your Speed Mechanics. In three words- "I love it!"
--S.J., Ohio
I have had your book Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar for about two years now. As far as I'm concerned this is one of the best books out, and I'm not just kissing ass! This book has helped me immensely!
--E.C., Iowa
Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar really opened up a lot of doors for me. It's the most thoroughly covered book on guitar technique that I've ever come across. Most rock guitar books just show you how to play fast and flashy. But yours not only shows how to play fast, but also playing in time, with dynamics, and most importantly, how to get the most out of your practice time. That book is my main first book that I teach out of to my students, because I know just how much it has done for me.
--B.D., Michigan
I purchased your book over a year ago and my playing has come on a tremendous amount. I couldn't believe your playing on the cassette, its absolutely fantastic! I always recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their playing.
--J.M., Scotland
Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar is the best, most informative book I have yet encountered. Very well done, Troy!
--R.F., England
I never thought a book could be so fulfilling.
--M.C., Texas
Great book! Within 2 weeks it had me playing as well as I did when I used to practice 8 hours a day a dozen yours ago (I'm 34 now). [In 4 months] your book so far has given me greater results than I've had in years! I'm playing sixteenth notes at 160 without aggravating the tendonitis I developed years ago trying to get myself up to 126 bpm!
--G.E., Massachussetts
Thanx very much for your contribution to music with your book. It's great and very easy to apply even for a beginner like me. I can't suggest any additions or extractions. It's complete.
--J.J., Florida
I would like to thank you very much for your book Speed Mechanics. Some incredible stuff on that book. I have played guitar for 10 years, but when I was reading about your book I knew this was it the proper way of ripping the frets! This book has helped me incredibly!
--G.Q., New Jersey
I have found your book Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar enormously informative and helpful. Although I do not play professionally by any standard, I can hear an improvement in my playing after only a few weeks, it has really increased both my speed and accuracy.
