Friedman was best known for his solo albums on Mike Varney’s Shrapnel label, and for his duo albums with Jason Becker in Cacophony – and all this before he had spent an extended period as the guitarist in Megadeth. This book will help any metal guitarist add spice and speed to their playing, as Friedman covers unusual scales (Japanese-sounding scales, half-step bend scales, and more); odd time signatures; picking exercises; and even playing out of time. Learn from this unique guitarist!
