Machine Head is a best selling metal act that has been going strong since 1991. With 7 records released to date and millions of sales, Machine Head has joined the pantheon of metal gods.

Rob and Phil teamed up to teach four of the bands most popular songs off their 2006 release, "The Blackening" (a full listing off lessons can be found below). The two guitarists break down their individual parts of the songs and teach them note by note. They then proceed to talk about the bands process for writing and playing live. They also give insights into playing in a band with two guitar players. These songs will help develop your rhythmic sense, guide you in creating harmony lines and creating monster riffs.
