Instruction includes technical fluency in alternate picking,  tapping, multi-finger tapping, sweep picking, string skipping, and  more. The newly added DVD enforces the topics throughout the book with author German Schauss demonstrating the lessons  and techniques onscreen.

The Total Shred Guitarist starts with the basics of developing greater technical fluency and  builds on this foundation toward many advanced concepts and techniques,” says Schauss. “This book will  help you develop your own sound and style, and will help you incorporate  the awesome power of shred into your own playing.”
