The complete seminar contains 39 chapters just like this one, with two complete demo songs + backing tracks, and over 150 musical examples with tablature. If you're a DSX player, MR|DSX is a complete kit for getting up and running with functional picking technique for just about any type of rock phrase, from scales to arpeggios.
