Troy StetinaThrash Guitar Method – Electric Guitar Sheet Music and Online Audio | Learn Techniques Used by Metallica, Anthrax, Testament and More | Hal Leonard Instructional Songbook with Tablature (Troy Stetina)

I have every single book by Troy and damn is this man amazing!This is an extremely good book for learning and practicing thrashy riffs.It goes from very easy to all of a sudden punching-your-face kind of riffs.I just wish the audio examples had been recorded in slow/medium/fast tempos. Most of the examples are extremely fast and this makes the audio files almost unusable.Overall, I definitely recommend this to any metal guitarist for sure.Cheers! \m/Update 04/12/2018: One huge flaw of this book is that it does not mention how fast each example has been played. So, when I am trying to use a metronome and get close to the example's speed, I have no idea what the target is. I really don't understand how a well-educated amazing teacher like Troy has missed this. For this reason, I am changing my rating from 5 to 4 stars.

Thrash Metal is my favorite genre of music and this book and it's audio tracks really helped me improve my skill in Thrash Metal Guitar. The exercises are aggressive just as the genre is meant to be and it will definitely give you a start if you are wanting to pursue this genre of Heavy Metal.

This book is helping me so much my playing is getting better every dayTroy Stetna rocks

Excellent book for mastering the challenging world of thrash metal! I have all of Troy's books which are quite excellent and clearly written. This book is great since it summarizes his other books as review plus new material specific to bands like Metallica and Slayer. I do wish the online audio files allowed one to slow the tempo down since they are quite wicked fast.

I have several of his books. You can buy just one of his and stay with it as there is always a lot of information. I tend to jump from book to book and get nuggets from each. I have a thick head when it comes to music theory but he seems to be getting some of it into my brain. His songs are easier to play along than some that use delay if you are following the tablature. Detailed in that he shows you the up and downs of striking the notes.

I have several of Troy Stetina's books and like the others, Thrash Guitar Method does not disappoint. Troy provides an in depth study of thrash metal and includes full songs that you can learn to play note for note. I do wish that some of the examples could have been played at half speed to make them easier to learn, since it does get pretty fast sometimes. Overall, this is a great book and I've learned a lot from it.

Excellent Book!!

Like all books by Troy this was a great and fun way to develop speed rhythm chops.

Very useful guide though difficulty soon ramps up, decent size print and good size. Like it!

I love all of Troy Stetina's books. Amazing exercises and songs, very helpful CD.

Ich besitze schon mehrere Titel aus der Stetina Reihe darunter auch die Lead- und Rythmguitar Hefte. Ganz im Stil der anderen schon genannten Bücher wird auch dieses hier wieder mit einer CD ausgeliefert. Auf der CD befinden sich außer der üblichen Übungen und Songs von denen am Ende jedes Kapitels, wie schon bei den Rythm und Leadguitar Heften, einer zu finden ist, auch noch 3 zusätzliche Bonussongs mit Tabulaturen am Ende des Hefts.Wie schon von Stetina zu erwarten war bietet das Heft wieder einen guten Einstieg in die Materie. Von Ampsettungs über eine kurze Erklärung was Thrashmetal eigentlich ist geht es zu einfachen Rythmusübungen. Allerdings geht es nach dem Einleitungsteil für Anfänger dann auch schon gleich zur Sache. Wer schon bei den Rythmusübungen Probleme hat, sollte sich nocheinmal den 1. Band von Rythmguitars anschauen.Den Preis finde ich, auch wenn er manch einem für ein Heft zu hoch sein mag, für den Inhalt mehr als angemessen. Stetina ist einer der besten Lehrer die ich je gesehen/gehört habe. Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung für Thrash Neulinge.Fazit: Ein gelungenes Heft für Autodidakten oder Musiker die sich fernab von ihrem Unterricht etwas mit Thrash alá Metallica der 80er etc. beschäftigen wollen. Stetina mit seinem Kumpel Tony Burton mal wieder in Topform.

Starts "easy", but the level ramps up very quickly!!!
