Guitarists can unleash their inner Slayer with the new Lick Library guitar tuition DVD, Quick Licks in the style of Kerry King Thrash Metal key: E Minor. Now available, this DVD tutorial will teach you how to play the sickest Kerry King licks in easy to follow lessons, where you can practice along with the professional backing track included with the DVD.

For those not in the know, Kerry King is the rhythm guitarist, backing vocalist, and co-founder of the American thrash metal band, Slayer. King is known as a king of thrash metal guitarists, as he consistently delivers crushing riffs, ripping tones, and staggering live performances. His playing technique is often described as angular, focusing more on speed and chaos than on melody or typical metal style technical precision. What's more, King is known for making extensive use of the whammy bar, down-tuned rhythms, and heavy irregular vibrato.

The Quick Licks DVD, led by metal shredder Andy James, will show you how to develop the speed and instrumental prowess that defines the hardcore tempos of the aggressive King and Slayer material.

In Quick Licks in the style of Kerry King Thrash Metal key: E Minor, James explores a series of licks and ideas that King has put into his solos over the years. James takes the best of King's ideas and the techniques and puts together 3-minute tracks that demonstrate how to string licks together and create a solo. Breaking everything down into small sections, and using the Lick Library's signature split screen where you can see both the finger placement on the guitar and the player in front of you, these guitar lessons will help you develop techniques such as bending, alternate picking, and tapping. Also included are backing tracks so you can practice everything you learn, at your own pace.
