Like all guitar players, amateur Michael Rays wants to get better. Will he do it with scale studies? Lessons? NO! He will tackle his favorite rock solos, one by one--and he will write about it. Fellow guitarists will sympathize as Rays experiences the highs and lows of pursuing his rock dreams. It's an entertaining, inspiring journey that's part practice diary, part rock history, part music theory and part amateur psychoanalysis. Great fun for guitar players of any caliber!
