Troy moved to the revered and legendary city of beer-Milwaukee-in order to take a position on the faculty of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and form the rock and metal guitar program. There, as Director of Rock Guitar Studies, he carved out a niche as a top-level music educator with flawless technique, writing a number of best-selling metal guitar methods for Hal Leonard Corporation and performing solo "shred" guitar versions of the 24 Caprices, Perpetual Motion, and other technically demanding pieces at various Conservatory events.
Interestingly enough, the Conservatory happened to be less than a mile from the spot where he won the National Cycling Championships some years earlier, on the Milwaukee lakefront. An accompaniment to the book Secrets to Writing Killer Metal Songs, this release received rave reviews from critics around the world with its well-crafted songs and striking guitar work.
Also that same year, Troy finally decided to leave the Conservatory in order to work with musicians in both New York City and Los Angeles. Now, from his 's style home high in the countryside, he continues working with various musicians around the world, Writing guitar methods and magazine columns, composing solo projects, as well as petfonning and teaching at guitar workshops and master classes. Taken together, the methods of the series cover the full spectrum of playing from the beginning all the way up to the most advanced rhythm and lead concepts, fretboard pyrotechniques, theory, melodic principles, songwriting, and how to develop your own personal lead style.
In short, the series will take you to a professional level of playing. It is written by someone who specializes in metal so each method gives you what you need to get playing quickly and correctly. Brief descriptions of the books and videos of this series appear at the end of this book. You can use this to help you navigate through the series, selecting what is best for you. It is generally a good idea to use two or even three complementary books at a time, in order to have plenty of variety in your practice.
Each book comes with accompanying audio so they can be used individually as well as with the guidance of a teacher. It jumps right into the real thing, and before you know it, you'll be jamming on metal tunes with a full backing band! As you probably know, metal in the '90s isn't just one style, but has progressed into a broad range of "substyJes" which we could call pop metal, thrash metal, grunge metal, alternative metal, punk metal, progressive metal, rap metal, and so on.
The lines between them are often fuzzy. Each embodies different attitudes and uses different stylistic elements, yet they also share quite a lot in common-they all use different applications of metal guitar. In this method, we'll shed some light on each of these categories, while we build the solid underlying musical foundation you need to play guitar well.
To teach all of this, Metal Rhythm Guitar employs a series of exciting ''mini-songs,'' or jams with bass and drums, which progress from simple to advanced. And in case you are wondering, you don't have to wait to get to the good stuff. The first song appears right at the end of the first chapter. Feb 15, Bartolo added it. Book ratings by Goodreads.
