“Speed Lives 2 - Hands Without Shadows” instructional DVD and on screen booklet by Michael Angelo Batio
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each Speed Lives DVD teaches a Michael Angelo Batio masterpiece note-for-note. In Speed Lives 2, Michael Angelo Batio breaks the song "Hands Without Shadows" into 26 parts.
|
|
|
He first demonstrates each section at tempo, then slows down and shows you exactly what he's doing. Then, each part is shown with on-screen animated tab for you to play along.
|
|
|

This is the actual version that appears on the new DVD!

Why learn "Hands Without Shadows"?
It's incredibly difficult, will challenge you to your limits, and at times will be frustrating to master. Okay, that's the downside.
So, what's the upside? It's incredibly difficult, will challenge you to your limits, and at times will be frustrating to master. As Nietzsche explained, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
When you learn an extremely challenging lick, riff, technique or entire song every technique that you already know will become easier and more fluid. And nothing that you can learn on guitar is more challenging than a Michael Angelo Batio masterpiece. This is a huge step toward guitar mastery.
The challenge of learning to play "Hands Without Shadows" is an opportunity for all guitarists. How often do you have a chance to play a rock masterpiece that was actually transcribed by the original guitarist? As far as I know, pretty much never.
If you're an intermediate player, you're not going to be able to play this song at tempo for awhile. So what? You need this challenge to move forward with your own technique. First, learn "Hands Without Shadows" at a comfortable tempo. As time passes gradually increase speed until you're able to play it at MAB warp speed. You may never develop his amazing technique and speed but you can still move toward that goal and you may actually achieve the dream.
|
|
|
|
“Speed Lives 2 — Hands Without Shadows” is for intermediate and advanced guitar players but beginning guitarists will also benefit from this program, finding it both challenging and useful. This is a lesson in absolute shred mastery.

“Speed Kills 2” instructional DVD and on screen booklet by Michael Angelo Batio
|
|
|
|
|
Speed Kills 2 begins with an amazing six-minute live performance of Rain Forest from Michael's No Boundaries CD. You've got to see this. Then, the program is divided into two sections. The first half is all about warm-up. These exercises are easy to learn but challenging to master.
|
|
|
|
They're guaranteed to increase finger dexterity and picking speed. One of the exceptional aspects of this approach is the unique combination of alternate and sweep picking explained here. Michael ends the warm-up section with an exercise that covers all fingering combinations and picking techniques. This is perfect when you don't have much time to warm-up.
Part 2 covers the many aspects of Michael's unique style. Although he's known for his incredible speed, this isn't just about speed. He teaches jazz phrases in the style of Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt and explains how these masters have influenced his music. In these twelve exercises he not only teaches you the different styles that have influenced his playing but also explains how to apply this to your own music.
But you expect even more from Speed Kills 2 don't you? You won't be disappointed. Michael throws in several "hyper-speed" exercises that will keep you in your room shredding until you're a better guitarist. Isn't that what you really want?
All exercises feature picture-in-picture to view both the fretting and picking hands in close-up detail. Every exercise is played at slow speed, normal speed, and includes animated on-screen tab. Just use your DVD player's remote to pause, review, and skip forward. There are 96 chapters in this program so finding any single section is as simple as punching the chapter number into your DVD player's remote and pressing select. This program is 57 minutes in length. Speed Kills 2 is an essential guitar lesson.
