A Metal Method lesson in the art of speed picking. Michael teaches you how to master Alternate, Alternative (Sweep), and Legato styles of picking to make your playing as fast as light. He also covers arpeggios and string skipping techniques, and tells you how to advoid injuring your fingers while playing.

The new 'Speed Kills Revisted' DVD contains the entire original 'Speed Kills' lesson, plus new excersies, footage of Michael answering viewers questions, and Michael playing his song 'Prog' (one of my faviourtes!).

Overall, this is undoubtably the best guitar lesson on Video or DVD that I've ever seen. It taught me not only how to play fast, but how to have a much more controlled attack on the instrument in general. I also learnt some new arpeggios from it, and some theory. Michael is a great teacher because he shows you what you need to know, he never leaves any area of any part of playing untouched or a little hazy, if you start having a problem it's guarenteed that Michaels about to tell you how to fix it as you watch the tape. You must get this one if you wanna learn to shred, you can't learn any other way. In four months, I've gone from being fairly slow, to one of the fastest and cleanest in my area.
