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.
