Heavy Metal Meets the Acoustic Guitar

Tap into the purity of the acoustic guitar while you put the pedal to the metal and SHRED! Master shredder Joshua Craig Podolsky covers all the most important techniques and concepts, including shred rhythms, how to develop speed and dexterity, scales and fingerings, patterns and sequences, arpeggios, chromaticism, and tremolo picking. He also provides lots of fun examples, licks, and etudes to play in standard music notation and TAB. Easy-to-read neck diagrams make learning scales and arpeggios effortless.
