"I was 15 when I started guitar and have been playing for 13 years. From the beginning, I wanted to shred and play fast. However, I had trouble playing guitar fast. For years, I was stuck at 90-96 bpm. It wasn’t because I was lazy at practicing, it was because my technique was poor. I also had bad guitar teachers giving me bad advice. One day I discovered Speed and Accuracy for Lead Guitar and I tried the 30 day program. I learned the proper techniques for guitar speed and I was able to exceed 90 bpm and go as far as 160. The end result: I was blazin’ on the guitar as if I was possessed. After 18 days of practicing the exercises, I can finally say, “I can shred and play guitar fast!” I haven’t finished the 30 days yet, but I am already learning rock songs with fast guitar solos! One of my new year’s resolution was to play guitar fast. After several failed projects later…I finally rang the bell! Thank you very much Doug Marks!" – Jason S
Many of today’s rock stars learned to play guitar with the original version of this course. The following is from an interview by Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash).
"You know, I started off taking lessons from a teacher and he’d teach me how to read music on guitar and play songs like Mary Had A Little Lamb and that lasted a few months. That just wasn’t going to work for me (laughs). I really wanted to play rock. I actually ordered out of the back of a magazine something called the Metal Method, which was by this guy named Doug Marks. That was how I learned to play. It was this audio cassette with little pamphlet series. It worked great."
