Feedback for Rusty's "Shred Guitar Manifesto":
"Rusty, since purchasing your instructional material my technique has improved immensely. Thank you for the inspiration and awesome licks." - Jon C. Authier - North Carolina
--------------"I’ve bought your Shred Guitar Manifesto, it’s incredible! And very helpful to me. Thanks a lot for the quality of it." - Laurent Fleury - www.laurentfleury.com
--------------"Upon receiving Rusty's instructional series I saw my technique improve drastically. He is a killer player with tons of talent and songwriting expertise. Highly recommended." - Jeff Loomis - Nevermore
--------------
--------------"When you hear Rusty Cooley's ability you will swear he's not human!" - Mark Tremonti - Creed
--------------"The brainchild of monster technician Rusty Cooley, Manifesto offers internet browser-based lessons in two main sections; "The Legato Workout" and "The Licks". You can view the two as one continuous video via the "Shred Theater" link, or as individual sections that let you advance at your own pace, as well as pick and coose your subject matter. "The Legato Workout" consists of 32 hammering exercises that range from a simple half-step routine to knuckle-busting four-notes-per-string drills that spread your fingers across eight frets. "The Licks" section, on the other hand, offers 50 mind-boggling licks and arpeggios that cover every square inch of the fretboard. In addition to the licks and workouts,two of Cooley's original instrumental tracks are included so you can hear how he throws all this insanity into an actual tune...Overall, Manifesto is a great tool for rockin' Rambos for whom no lick is too demanding or painful. Cooley also deserves kudos for providing verbal explanations that are clear enough fo you to follow the lessons using nothing but your guitar and a CD player." - Shawn Hammond - Guitar Player Magazine, May 2002

--------------"I liked your CD rom a LOT. Killer stuff and you can definitely learn a lot from it. Enjoyed the opening song - definitely smokes - your playing is great!" - Metal Mike Chlasciak - guitarist with Rob Halford
--------------"Your CDROM was awesome...scary stuff on there. The legato workout was great, it's really helped me out." - Tom Kopyto - Maine
"I have got the 3 Rusty's CD-Roms and they are AMAZING!!! Everything is explained very easily, the interface is really simple to use and really cool and Rusty's playing is something not of this earth!!! He has an incredible technique and he can play everything at the highest level!!! All legato, alternate, arpeggios, tapping exercises are played at an INSANE level!!! In my opinion Rusty is the best player of today and these roms show how the shredding is improved in the years! Thanks to Rusty for being a real source of inspiration!!!" - Francesco Fareri - Italy
--------------"..I've only owned it for about three weeks, and I've been warming up daily with the Legato Workout, and I've already noticed a difference in my hand and finger strength and flexibility. The legato runs that I've been practicing for months have suddenly become easier and more fluid. I'm looking forward to how much stronger I get once I get into the 4-note per string workout exercises...I am very pleased with this ROM. The licks are shred-worthy as well as melodic. I really dig your "rock out" session at the end; it really proves that you're full of endless ideas...SGM will definitely help improve my own chops and technique, and it's another token of inspiration...Simply put, SGM kicks major ass!!" - Jason Rodriguez - Florida
--------------"...AWESOME! I was driving in my car listening to the CD and I was like "Damn, Rusty is the scariest mofo around"...the licks are simply amazing..." - Tony Smotherman - Florida
--------------"...I now have your Shred Manifesto and The Art Of Picking. Holy CRAP!!!!!!!! You are from another plane of existence. Its just not Right!!! I am 32 years old and have seen almost every shredder out there but after watching you they all look BORING now..." - Derek Bernier - Florida
--------------"...thanks to your legato workout and extra licks, man, my playing has gone to a great place! I finally got my 4 finger playing up to speed along with my picking..." - Andy Tooley - Maine
--------------"I just wanted to let you know that I purchased your SGM CD-rom two weeks ago and it totally changed my view on shredding. Man, is this mind-blowing stuff! Especially the legato workout and how to adapt it to four notes per string ideas. This already helped my playing getting on a higher level and I am very curious where it will be in a year. Just wanna thank you for making such an awesome guitar instructional. It will really improve my playing. I am sure of that. " - Erwin Blatter - Canada
--------------"I've got your 2 CD-ROM's "Shred Guitar Manifesto" & "Extreme Pentatonics" and I'm waiting on the arrival of "The Art Of Picking". If The Art Of Picking is anything like the previous 2 CD-ROM's, then you have another winner on yours hands. The first 2 are incredible!" - George Hanks, Jr. - California
--------------"Just one word... well actually two: AMAZING & SATISFIED. Thanks for bringing such amazing material to guitar players in general." - José María Martín - Spain
--------------GuitarShred.com's review of SHRED GUITAR MANIFESTO
--------------"I Just Got Your CD... And I'm Like... "Holy S**t..." I haven't expected something this great! Definitely the BEST instruction video (and because it's on a CD, it's ALOT more easier to handle than a tape...)... Anyway, I wanted to thank you very, very much...I'll recommend this CD as much as I can!!" - Tal Kohn - Israel
--------------"I've been playing guitar since 1993, and I've collected lots of instructional videos (Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, Shawn Lane, John Petrucci, Joey Tafolla, Richie Kotzen, Malmsteen, Frank Gambale, Michael Romeo, etc.). You make all of the other instructional videos look very easy. The quality is very good and the content is very inspired. Now I practice your legato workout every day as a routine exercise. Wish I could go to the states to see you live.You inspired me a lot, man. Just wanna say thanks to you and keep on rocking." - Paul Huang - Taiwan
--------------"I just received the Rusty Cooley CD and it rocks. Your site has the best instructional vids/tab I have ever seen in 11 years. Thanks for sending them off so quickly, it only took 5 days. Thanks for the kick ass guitar! - a very satisfied customer" - Justin Ballard - North Dakota
--------------"I just received your instructional CD Rom a little less than a week ago and I love it to death! It seriously is the best instructional video I have ever bought, and I mean it cause I have like a whole REH and other instructional vids. collection (Gilbert, Lane, Petrucci, Malmsteen, Angelo, etc.) and it kills all of them.... I mean your legato workout makes Gambale's chopbuilder look like a simple warm-up!!" - Jason Acuna - New Jersey
--------------"I just got The CD Rom and its killer, especially the legato workout. I've been playing for 14 years and I've seen the best guys come and go...Its been hard to find inspiration in terms of ways to develop my chops mainly because I always felt that there was a limit to how fast, how many arpeggios/scales, and any way of shredding that I could play (boy did you prove me wrong). Over the last 5 yrs, it was hard to get excited because I've seen almost every exercise and drill out there (and done them all)...But for me it was like "What now"? What do you do after you've climbed the mountain?...Now after watching you, I feel like anything's possible...In watching your Rom, I've been reaffirmed that no matter how good we are, we can always get better. Thank you for that." - Shelby Williford - Florida
--------------"Rusty, dude, I got your CD rom 2 days ago and it's the f***ing best instructional I've ever purchased man and believe me I've got it all (video's, books, etc)...you blow 99% of all shredders out of the water." - Bram Van Cauter - Belgium
