You'll learn Dan's personal workout routines and all about his live and studio gear. DVD 2: Dan builds on the techniques learned in Level 1. Dan guides you step-by step through more advanced lead techniques like tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, palm muting, scales, arpeggios and speed picking. He uses examples from Atreyu's hit songs to shows you complete leads, guitar harmony sections, melodic metal rhythm and lead patterns and much more.
