Essential Theory for Rock & Metal Guitar

This is a comprehensive video lesson course that will teach you how to efficiently learn all of the essential theory you need for rock and metal guitar playing. Never fear playing in key again! This course will help you internalize scale shapes, modes, intervals, chords, arpeggios, with as little fluff as possible -- specifically taught in a way so it is easy for any guitarist to understand. I've personally taught these systems to hundreds of people in my private lessons. I believe this approach, which emphasizes pattern recognition, is as straightforward as it can get. Here's my best effort to get you up to speed on what has taken me nearly 20 years to learn.
