Luckily for the aspiring rock guitarist, Phil Capone has distilled all the essential licks and chops into this easy-to-use collection. Each example is presented within a subgenre – prog rock, heavy metal and blues rock, for example – to provide an invaluable historical perspective and ensure that the correct musical context is fully understood.
