This is the original "shredder's bible" created in 1991 and still a standard reference for all neoclassical guitarists. Although Michael recently revised this program it's difficult to top the original because there's still plenty of relevant information taught here.
Michael Angelo Batio created the original Speed Kills DVD to be the ultimate guitar lesson on speed picking technique. This instructional video is legendary for its ability to raise a guitarist's skills to the next level and beyond. With Speed Kills you're learning from the fastest guitarist on the planet.
