Never played guitar before? With this book and CD you'll be playing lead licks in no time. You'll learn how to play licks on open and fretted strings.

You'll try techniques such as hammer-ons, pull-offs and bends, including unison bends. Plus, you will sample the repeat lick, learn that lead guitar is not just about single notes, and use intervals like thirds, sixths and octaves. Both standard notation and guitar tablature are used throughout the book, which also includes a useful introduction to the basic rudiments of music and a guide to the guitar. All the examples are played on the accompanying CD.
