i ordered both of mine through amazon. costs a bomb and til now i havent even finished one book. Speed Mechanics is a killer (actually its more of i dont have time to sit down everyday goin through it for hours).

where did u get intense rock 2?

speed mechanics is the holy grail book for shredders. theres alot of things to learn inside. it wont make u come up with superb solos, but itll prepare you to be able to execute things and works on your technical ability. i got it together with metal lead guitar volume 1 (amazon was having some promotion thing). i cant remember the exact price (coz dad paid for it) but it came around 2-3 weeks.
