Master The Rhythm Guitar Secrets of Rock & Metal’s Pioneers

Rip some holes in your skinny jeans and get out your headbands – it’s time to rock out like it’s 1987 and discover the style that defined a generation.

1980s Rock Rhythm Guitar Mastery is a deep dive into creating and playing authentic 1980s hard rock and metal rhythm parts, from the glammed-up Sunset Strip to fist-raising Bay Area thrash.

A Magnum Opus of Rock Guitar Secrets

1980s Rock Rhythm Guitar Mastery takes you on a Crazy Train ride through the decade of big hair and even bigger riffs… and just like Bill and Ted, you’ll discover that there’s plenty to learn from going back in time to study the creative pioneers of rock and metal. Phone box not required!
