Troy Stetina is widely recognized as one of the world's premier guitar educators. His methods have helped millions of players worldwide develop flawless technique. Unlike many instructional books that simply list random exercises, Stetina’s curriculum is highly systematic.

This allows you to smoothly transition from the lowest frets to the highest registers during a single solo. How to Get the Most Out of the Book
