Shredding Paganini (book/CD/DVD)

Publisher : Alfred Music
Heavy Metal Guitar Meets 9 Masterpieces by Niccolo Paganini by German Schauss
With Notes and TAB

German Schauss covers a all-time great musician. Niccolò Paganini, whose lifestyle and fame were similar to that of a modern rock star, was undoubtedly one of the greatest virtuosos that ever lived. Paganini’s practice schedule (15 hours a day), combined with a genetic connective tissue disorder that gave him “impossible” reach and flexibility with his fingers, resulted in extremely demanding and exciting compositions for shredders of any era.
Paganini’s works, which showcase his extraordinary skills, are perfect for the heavy metal style and will stretch your playing to the limits.

The accompanying DVD includes demonstrations of many of the pieces, and the provided CD features all of the examples at multiple speeds to help you practice and get you on your way to mastering Paganini's challenging compositions.
