Here's what Rogers Stevens Lead Guitarist of Blind Melon has to say about Mega Chops: Scale Mastery Beyond Hanon:

"I'm a big believer in the Hanon exercises for piano, and had never considered applying them to guitar. After playing for 20 years, this book quickly took my playing to another level technically. I use it on tour before every show...it's great for warming up when time is limited. Use a metronome and take it slowly at first, and you will get great results."
