Speed
Kills 2 begins with an the amazing six-minute live performance of
Rain Forest from Michael's No Boundaries CD (above).
Then, the program is divided into two sections. The first half is all
about warm-up. These exercises are easy to learn but challenging to
master.
They're guaranteed to
increase finger dexterity and picking speed. One of the exceptional
aspects of this approach is the unique combination of alternate and
sweep picking explained here.
Part 2
covers the many aspects of Michael's unique style. Although he's known
for his incredible speed, this isn't just about speed. He teaches jazz
phrases in the style of Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt and
explains how these masters have influenced his music. In these twelve
exercises he not only teaches you the different styles that have
influenced his playing but also explains how to apply this to your own
music.
But you
expect even more from Speed Kills 2 don't you? You won't be
disappointed. Michael throws in several "hyper-speed" exercises that
will keep you in your room shredding until you're a better guitarist.
Isn't that what you really want?
All
exercises feature picture-in-picture picking and fretting hands to
view both in close-up detail. Every exercise is played at slow speed,
normal speed, and includes animated on-screen tab. Just use your DVD
player's remote to pause, review, and skip forward. There are 96
chapters in this program so finding any single section is as simple as
punching the chapter number into your DVD player's remote and pressing
select. This program is 57 minutes in length.
There are
additional files included for those who have a computer with a DVD
drive. These files include a printable form of tablature, animated
play along tab, and a complete chapter list. If you don't have a DVD
drive please send us your name, address, and tab request in an e-mail
message. We'll send you these files via e-mail. This is bonus
material, so even if you don't have a computer these files aren't
necessary to master this program. |
