Metal Albums for Guitar #1: ...And Justice for All
Buy the TAB book
A normal practice session would go something like this: I would sit there in my room and play along to the entire ...And Justice for All record by Metallica, dreaming about the day I could play the solo for "The Shortest Straw" and "Dyers Eve" perfectly. Why do you think successful people always say things like "fake it 'til you make it?" I personally hate that saying and only use it as a joke, but you get the idea!
Our guitar riffs from "Frayed Ends of Sanity" feature scalar patterns that are repeated up and down the fretboard. Once you learn the pattern in the first 2 bars, simply move it up the fretboard two more frets and play the SAME pattern over again.

A story from the past:
I recently had the enlightening experience of meeting one of Dimebag's former good friends in Ft. Worth, Texas. He told me during conversation that Dime was one of the greatest guys you would ever meet and would go out of his way to make your day a better one. With his tremendous influence upon guitar players and metal fans worldwide taken into account, I dedicate this space to Dime and "take a pull!"
I found this in Ft. Worth and took a

One of the most FUN guitar riffs from Cowboys From Hell is the powerful riff from "Heresy." This song is a fast track chock full the sort of bad a$$ high power riffs Pantera was known for!

Learning really hard stuff, especially impressive metal-style guitar parts, is an investment in TIME and EFFORT. With the right amount of perseverance bordering on obsession, you will hopefully look back one day and realize you can now play on "expert difficulty" with instruments other than the plastic ones that come with Guitar Hero and Rock Band! ;)
