I highly recommend any rock guitarist pick up Troy Stetina Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol.1 and 2, as well as Troy Stetina Metal Lead Guitar Primer, Vol 1 and 2. Great method, awesome songs and solos to practice along with, and clear explanations of theory and technique. Start with Rhythm 1 and Lead Primer.
