Learn modern and classic rock, punk, grunge, and metal styles using great rock songs that include “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath and the Van Halen version of “You Really Got Me.”

Charles McCrone, graduate of the Guitar Institute of Technology at Musician’s Institute (the legendary training ground for many great rock guitarists), takes you through a complete overview of rock techniques and gear. Learn movable power chords, barre chords, effects pedals, hammer-ons, pull-offs, palm muting, classic riffs, the blues scale, using feedback, the whammy bar, and more! Interactive Feedback technology highlights correctly played notes, making learning faster and easier. The Animated Fretboard shows a real-time 3D display of riffs, bends, and rock guitar tricks which otherwise are hard to see using only videos. Interactive tabs highlight where you are in a song, let you loop sections, and slow them down to help you master the lessons and songs.

Hit songs include “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath, “You Really Got Me” as by Van Halen, “Lake of Fire” by Nirvana, “Tired of Waiting for You” as by Green Day, “All Day and All of the Night” by the Kinks, “Don’t Fear the Reaper” by Blue Öyster Cult, “Tomorrow” by Silverchair, “All Right Now” by Free, and many others. You’ll also learn songs in the style of Blink 182, Rage Against the Machine, AC/DC, and more!

Playing exercises and riffs is more fun than ever with over 40 jam tracks. There are “Slow” and “Fast” versions, as well as “Full” and “Rhythm Only” versions. Even long after you’ve finished the coursework, you can come back and enjoy practicing your guitar technique with the jam tracks.
