"Troy is a virtuoso and an exceptional teacher. In this video Troy shows the basics in lead guitar that will allow you to go into intermediate material. It contains good explanations and demonstrations of basic technique (hammer-on & pull-off, bend, slide, finger vibrato, palm mute, artificial harmonics, alternate picking and more), scales (minor & major pentatonic, blues and dorian), key changes and blending modalities. And not only exercises but also three very short solos. It's very cool to see Troy showing how to use articulations to make licks come alive.
As you guess from the title, this is a DVD for beginners.
Publisher has released a short booklet (Beginning Rock Lead Guitar: English Edition) with transcription of the exercises from the DVD.
