I have tried and failed with several other books and the main reason for this I think, other than my lack of competence, is that these other books try to be all things to all men. These books treat electric, acoustic and classic guitar in the same way as if they are the same thing. Clearly they are not. Most beginner guitar books dutifully guide you through playing the main open chords. After a few weeks practice (probably less for most people), you can knock out a bad rendition of 'Wild Thing' using the three most common open chords. Not very helpful. Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 1 gets straight in by showing you how to tune your guitar and then how to set-up your amp for different styles. Then it goes into power chords. Most books I have come across either deny the existence of power chords or make it so mysterious they you will not learn to play them. Within a short time you will be learning 6th and 5th string power chords. All very well explained. It takes no time at all before you are playing tunes that sound quite authentic. Instead of getting bored, I was going over it all several times to improve my technique. I am sure that if you buy this book and conscientiously practice all the lessons you will become a competent electric guitar player. It is a beginners book, but most essential techniques are there. Slides, hammer ons, open chords are all there as well as an introduction to improvisation. Even lead guitar might not be that far away. I have seen some descriptions of this book as coming with a CD. In my case I had a download key. Not a big deal but do not be disappointed if you were after a CD. Highly recommended. Review: Brilliant method for Beginners and anyone wanting to learn Rock and Metal. - I'd highly recommend this booked to anyone who is a complete beginner or anyone who wants to get a good foundation in playing rock and metal. A lot of the techniques thought apply to other styles of playing, it's just that the tutorials are in the style of hard rock. At the end of each of the 6 chapters there are example songs and also backing tracks. The online audio examples on the Hal Leonard website are great and can be downloaded but also played using their online player which has the added feature of changing the tempo of a track but not alter the speed (or you can just download a mobile app which will do this). The author recommends playing to a metronome or drum machine and also record your self playing. I cannot stress enough how beneficial this is to both keep time and also get feedback on how you sound and where you can improve. If you have already been playing for a while you may find yourself progressing through this quickly. I'm already at the end of chapter 5 and have got the second book which looks like it has loads of stuff in there. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 200,710 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 562 in Guitars 648 in String Instruments (Books) 2,593 in Scores, Songbooks & Lyrics | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (255) | | Dimensions | 22.86 x 0.42 x 30.48 cm | | Edition | Pap/Com | | ISBN-10 | 0793509580 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0793509584 | | Language | English | | Print length | 64 pages | | Publication date | 10 Mar. 1992 | | Publisher | Hal Leonard | ## Images ![Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 1 (Troy Stetina) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81joX6j3VxL.jpg) ![Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 1 (Troy Stetina) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vrjoAHOaL.jpg) ![Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 1 (Troy Stetina) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yjl45ErJL.jpg) ![Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 1 (Troy Stetina) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lNmWd7ZlL.jpg) ![Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 1 (Troy Stetina) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kolfCK-bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great book for electric guitar beginners *by G***W on 16 April 2016* This is a great book if you wish to become competent at playing the electric guitar.

I wanted to improve my Lead, so i bought the Lead Vol1, and started working through that. I was improving drastically, but i was finding i needed to mix up my practicing not wanting to get bored of doing the same thing all the time. So i decided to purchase the rhythm vol1. Now i have been playing rhythm for all this time (so worried i would do book in a night), the first few songs/chapters i flew through (just learning power chords, changing strings etc) but my theory was poor and the book sort of re-taught me well. It has great patterns to learn and im perfecting every one. Now my timing and technique has a much improved, so im glad im working though both vol1 of troys books. I would recommend practicing both books as the same time So it mixes up what your playing and they complement each other very well. Troys books are gold dust to me, i have a lot to thank to the guy :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 1 (Bk/Online Audio) (Troy Stetina) - Metal Lead Guitar Vol. 1 Book/Online Audio - Metal Rhythm Guitar Vol. 2 Book/Online Audio (The Troy Stetina, 2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/75065943-metal-rhythm-guitar-vol-1-troy-stetina](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/75065943-metal-rhythm-guitar-vol-1-troy-stetina) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
