Troy Stetina - Montezuma's Revenge - Nick Hickey - Sandoval Rhoads Polka Dot V

[hundanth]

Kids like this give me a slight bit of hope to have another musical era like the 80s metal era

Randy's Polska Dot V!

[HeavyMetalSwede]

Great playing! The Randy replica guitaris wicked cool to. I can actually see, if you wanna call it, a similarity in his character similar to Randy's, the being humble and the kindnesss.

Troy is holding a contest for a FREE GUITAR for users of his method books. Details on his website, under Forum Announcements. Good Luck to all!

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

It is not a set order, but you forgot LEAD PRIMER (Listen to the interview where Troy & I discuss the importance of completing this book BEFORE taking on LEAD ONE), as you would be surprised how many experienced guitarists can't play with perfect intonation & timing, even though they may have played leads much more difficult than the leads in PRIMER,... but to do it PERFECT against the track,... well, if helps if you have a teacher and the discipline to do it right,

I have a couple stetina books, good stuff he must really worship randy rhodes! in fact they could be called the rhodes method

[melodikdeath]

montezuma's revenge?, in my book it's called "DANGER AHEAD", anyway i'm sixteen (been playing for 6 months now) just finished up the heavy side and am half way through this. how often does hnick practice?

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

"Danger Ahead" was the original name of the solo in the first edition of the series was printed. When the entire series was revamped in the late 90's, they changed the name,... I guess for humor.

Nick pretty much practices when he is not sleeping, in school, with with his girlsfriend. He is very dedicated to his instrument. Thanks for the comment.

[Texman4268]

Wow, nice job....I just ordered the Metal Rhythm and Lead books tonight from Troy Stetina.....Great playing there....

Keep up the great work and love that guitar!!

[GuitarInstructor]

Very cool!

[pari666]

ive always wanted to go to a good music school but my family moves around too much, and there aren't that many around where i go

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

One thing you could do is get the Stetina books, and also DVD's by Metal Method. Both are great for learning. Links to both authors sites are on our HUNTSMUSIC website, but try to find a teacher wherever you go. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

[Xyklonikus]

Did he learn that from the Metal Lead Guitar Vol.1 book?

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

Yes, The Stetina series is the main teching text we use here at the music school with our heavy rock guitar students. All students in this style gutar are required to complete all 8 stetina books, and then they move into our Shred Guitar programme.

2 years and playing of that standard=5 stars.

Nick is actually just about to graduate from the advanced lead program and move into the shred guitar program here at the school. He is currently wrapping up his intro to sweep picking, diminished scale runs, and intro to working in Harmonic Minor & Phrygian Dominant modes 'ala Yngwie Malmsteen style. So in a few months we expect him to be back in the studio laying down the "Lightnings Edge" solo.

[ElLocoanttracy]

I always knew you'd be someone special!!keep it up!!!

[Numerater]

Man I just had to comment again, Nick played it with such ease it appeared, i loved it, short video though but it was great.

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

Thanks. Nick is obviously a very dedicated & serious student. Even though he has only been playing for two years, he has a great potential future in music.

[ice9001]

Man thats sweet I can remmember learning these solo`s 20 years ago great job you nailed it . Love the guitar too brings back some great memories R.I.P Randy .

[Numerater]

I was just wondering where Nick got that guitar, ive been looking for one.

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

The guitar Nick Hickey is playing is an actual Karl Sandoval (creator of Randy Rhoads Polka dot Flying V)re-creation guitar. You can also get a much less costly copy from GMW. Both luithers have websites online, so they are easy to find. Good Luck.

[Numerater]

Thank you man, I appreciate it.

[HuntsAnnexStudios]

Always glad to help out a Randy fan!
