Work the Other Side of the Forearm
Using something like the Planet Waves Varigrip is great for building grip strength and improving guitar performance.

Metal and Rock Rhythm Guitar Crash Course
$150.00
$97.00
What's the #1 thing every guitarist needs? Speed? Accuracy? Natural Ability? Knowledge? WRONG! Psst! Let me share a little secret with you…if your rhythm sucks, everything suffers. Everything. Rhythm, by far, is the single most important aspect of music. It separates the men from the boys. You’ll never become the guitar player you dream of being with poor rhythm. I designed the new Metal and Rock Guitar Rhythm Crash Course to dramatically improve your rhythm. This will carry over into all other aspects of your guitar playing. What if the material is too difficult? Won’t it overwhelm me? This course has been carefully crafted to benefit a wide variety of guitar players. Each section has varying levels of complexity at a variety of tempos. That means you learn at the pace and tempo you want. The section-ending etudes provide you with the chance to put everything together. With them, you’ll solidify your ability to switch between different rhythm patterns. As you conquer each one, watch your confidence soar. So what do I actually get? Do I only get a few tabs and some videos? Phhffttt! Are you kidding? You get way more than that. Each section includes: My favorite song isn't in 4/4 - will this course help me? Though 4/4 time is the main focus of this course, I haven’t ignored other time signatures. The section “Beyond 4/4” has got you covered. You’ll learn how to count and play in 8 other time signatures. There’s even a short section on polyrhythms and polymeters - for those seeking a real mental workout. Here’s how some students have described my teaching methods, which you’ll enjoy in this course: The Metal and Rock Guitar Rhythm Crash Course includes: And if you buy the course outright, you get Guitar Pro files (Ver. 6 & 7) for the entire course. As an introductory offer, you can get everything in this course for only $97. That’s the price of 3 guitar lessons. CLICK HERE to see a preview of how the course looks.
