Guitar Aerobics: A 52-Week, One-lick-per-day Workout Program for Developing, Improving and Maintaining Guitar Technique Review

I can't imagine how this book could be much better than it is. It is exactly what it claims to be. A half hour or so workout per day for 365 days concentrating on necessary, fundamental, rock/pop guitar pick techniques.
There is enough overlap from the exercises from one week to the next so that there is no need to really completely master each lick on each day. The same lick will come up the following week with slight variations. In other words, beginners, just do the workout and don't get so down in the mouth if you can't perform each lick perfectly at the end of each day. If you can't play the thing at the top recommended tempo, then practice more at the lower speeds and just give the top speeds ten good tries. That is all the workout asks. Just follow the program and in a year you will be much better. Maybe not "second to none" as Troy Nelson suggests, but certainly a much, much better guitar player.
No big complaints from me about this book/CD package. The "Metal" click track is a little tough to make sense of, but you can listen to the first few drumstick taps that start the track, and they tap out one measure each. Also the demonstrations of the licks are recorded in the middle range of the tempos of the workout, but there are a couple around week seven that seem too fast for the notation. No big problem.
