Giants of Metal

With nu-metal stars Limp Bizkit, Korn, Staind, and Linkin Park beating the drum for real instruments once again and the old guard of metal -- bands like Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath, and Metallica -- still filling stadiums, learning to play heavy-metal guitar has never been more popular. By looking at the styles and techniques of 20 of the world's top metal guitarists over the past 30 years, Giants of Metal will have any player emulating his or her heroes in no time. The book includes a 60-minute CD with 20 tracks written in the style of some of the most influential guitarists in the world of rock and metal.
