Dive into Metallica's fast-paced classics like "Ride The Lightning" and "Hardwired," or bring back the nostalgia by playing the iconic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" theme. The course also covers Papa Roach's "Last Resort,” Megadeth’s "We'll Be Back," providing a varied and dynamic setlist that will keep your practice sessions fresh and exhilarating.

Each lesson not only focuses on teaching you the notes and chords but also emphasizes the importance of rhythm, technique, and style, allowing you to develop a well-rounded skill set.
