What I like most about this book, as a guitar instructor, is how the licks here are tasty enough that I steal them for my own playing… quite often. These solos and exercises are crafted with impeccable taste. I’m a jazz guitarist by trade, so I very much enjoy how these “shred” solos and exercises have been thoughtfully composed by the author. Often, licks will have a pattern with some nuance in either articulation or melodic construction that makes it interesting.

The provided videos are very professional and useful as I can typically prep for my lessons by grabbing the licks by ear by using the videos, then checking myself against the provided transcriptions in the book.

I would highly recommend this for intermediate electric guitarists that can already do a little bit of lead work and need help getting to the next level, both in terms of facility and playing vocabulary. Teachers, you’ll have a lot of fun learning these licks in your lesson prep! Great book!
