Be the Fastest Guitar Player in the World

$14.95

Hello! This is John, the author of this eBook. What's with the title? Well, Guinness told me I was the fastest guitar player. The eBook tells you how I got there. However, after further review of my performance, by myself, turns out I did NOT pick all the notes Guinness said I did. 

So, why still have this eBook around? Because I believe there is still valuable information inside. Eventually, there will be a full update to the contents of this eBook, along with a new name. I'm thinking, "Shred Your Ass Off!"
