Anyway, GuitarZoom has a lot in store for this year, and this includes a couple of Blues and Metal courses.</p>
<p>For the serious intermediate metalhead guitarist, here&#8217;s a good course on Metal by Eric VanLandingham:</p>

<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OnMsBTLyvW4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation"></iframe></span>
<p>(FYI, the music that you hear just before the lesson kicks in (the Djenty BGM you hear during the animation sequences) was written, performed, and recorded by yours truly.)</p>
<p>If you wish to be able to utilize pentatonic scales effectively, especially in a blues setting, you have to check out this upcoming course by Casey Smith&#8217;s called &#8220;Ultimate Power Pentatonics for Guitar&#8221;</p>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V6h0Hkc1zeE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation"></iframe></span>
<p>(Again, intro animation music by yours truly.)</p>
<p>All of these courses come with my sheet music transcriptions in standard notation and TAB.</p>
<p>For more information regarding these courses as well as upcoming promos, go visit <a href="http://guitarzoom.com">http://guitarzoom.com</a>. For any questions regarding course content, music theory, guitar playing, or anything music in general, you can always email me at mark(at)guitarzoom.com. (FYI, I don&#8217;t handle customer service stuff and technical issues, but I&#8217;d be more than happy to talk about music with all of you.)</p>
