Metal Method Metal Riffology by Sarah Spisak 2 DVD

Metal Method Metal Riffology by Sarah Spisak 2 Guitar DVD | 6,8 GB

If you're a fan of the 80's heavy metal hair bands, you're going to love THIS.

Metal Riffology is a CD-ROM for Windows that will sharpen your axe grinding skills with precise tablature and video of 97 memorable riffs from songs of the heavy metal bands of the 80's. Compiled and developed by Sarah Spisak (a.k.a. GuitarSarah ) this package will have you wailing like a superstar in no time at all.

When our copy first arrived, I spent the first hour just quickly going through every riff to see what all was included. You'll spend hours learning some of your favorites from bands like Tesla, Winger, Dokken, Ratt, Motley Crue and more! This CD is literally chock-full of some of the coolest riffs that you remember - and some I didn't, which was a nice surprise.

Using the disk is incredibly simple. Pop it in your CD drive and the program interface loads immediately. Options on the main menu include an overview, a series of lessons, a tuning utility, about the author, suggested listenings and acknowledgements. Oh, and let's not forget the star of the show - the awesome RIFFS!

I had to prepare for this review, so I dusted off my Ibanez RG570 and tuned her up. I put a fresh battery in my Sans Amp GT2 and plugged it in to our Mackie 808S PPM. With 1200 watts and 4 15" PA cabs in my face, I proceeded to go through a warm-up. Ahhhh... memories. I started going through every old Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Metallica and Megadeth riff I knew - to name a few. It was surprising that the police hadn't showed up yet, so I started going through the material.

After the warm-up, I went through each and every riff on the disk. I could feel my hair growing as I sat there - or maybe it was the hair standing up on my neck. Still no cops, so I continued. 6 hours and several breaks later I had to stop. My calluses were worn off and my arms, wrists and fingers were sore. It was well worth it. One of the nicest things about this package is that none of the riffs are particularly difficult. Sure, I've been playing for close to 20 years now, but with the tab right there and the video of Sarah going through the riffs it was easy to pick up even the ones that sounded challenging. Those of you that only have a few years under your belt will find that things are a bit more complicated, but this is a great way to expand your horizons. If you were in diapers in the 80's, don't shuck these bands off for lack of artistic skill. There are some quality lessons to be learned here, especially when you start looking at the heavy use of rhythmic displacement and modal mixture.

One of the other benefits I derived from this disk was some new ideas to incorporate into my playing. You see, after having been through the hair band movement, grunge and alternative and now the heavy metal rap genre, you forget a lot of riffs, licks and ideas that used to be influential in your song writing. I've got more fuel for the fire now and am quite pleased with what practicing with these riffs has added back to my bag of tricks.

That's all fine and dandy you might ask. But who is GuitarSarah? The credits on the CD tell us:

About the Author

Sarah's interest in guitar began as early as age five, when she made a guitar of construction paper. At about age seven she made instruments from cigar boxes and rubber bands. At age ten she began to teach herself on the Spanish and steel stringed acoustics that had been abandoned by her older siblings. Finally, in high school, she got her first two electric guitars. Sarah proceeded to college where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, but was sorry to find no classes in "Metal Riffology". Since then she has enjoyed composing, recording, and teaching, especially as a staff member of Metal Method.

That's right folks - Metal Method. You remember the ads in your favorite guitar magazines, don't ya? Sarah's one of the most talented heavy metal guitarists out there and none better to take us through this great compilation of riffs.

Bottom Line:

For $14.95 you can't beat it. A CD loaded with lessons and riffs that will take you to a new level in your playing. Sarah's compilation is a worthwhile investment for anyone interested in learning some of the coolest heavy metal riffs out there. What's more, Sarah maintains an excellent website where you can get free tabs and audio to even more riffs and solos which aren't included on the CD.
