This book and CD are about the styles and grooves that make up the full array of today's Rock scene. If you want to be a well-rounded, well-trained musician, this is the material you need to know. You will also get an insight into the constant cross-fertilization of sub-styles that make Rock a rich and exciting musical genre. The book breaks down rock into fifteen of the most important sub-styles. For each sub-style, you get a comprehensive lesson centering on a fully notated "chart" of the music on the CD. The CD contains a performance demo and then a version without the drums for you to play-along. With the sound of the music in your ears, you can study and practice the technical aspects of performing the rhythms in each style.
