Learn Power Chords, Riffs and Rock Techniques for Rhythm and Lead Guitar

Charles McCrone, graduate of the Guitar Institute of Technology (famous training ground for rock guitarists), delivers over 100 lessons giving a complete overview of rock technique and gear. Learn rock basics like power chords and riffs, plus some lead necessities like the blues scale and string bends. You’ll also learn about distortion, chorus, and other popular guitar effects pedals. The Animated Fretboard shows a real-time display of guitar riffs, string bends, and guitar tricks which are hard to see in simpler, video-only guitar lessons. eMedia Instant Feedback technology highlights correctly played notes, which makes learning faster and easier. Classic guitar songs by artists like The Kinks, Green Day, Blue Öyster Cult, Nirvana, and others make guitar practice fun as you master rock, punk, and metal guitar styles.
