About this course
Tracii Guns’ influence on the rock and metal scenes is profound and far-reaching. As the founder of the iconic bands L.A. Guns and the original Guns N’ Roses, Tracii Guns has been a key figure in revolutionizing rock music. His impact, both as a dynamic performer and a dedicated mentor, ensures that his legacy will inspire future generations.
Tracii’s exceptional guitar prowess is defined by its versatility and emotional intensity, combining a keen sense of melody, technical precision, and an extraordinary ability to convey emotion through his solos.
Tracii is also a passionate and articulate educator, which is another reason we’re thrilled to welcome him to the family with his first TrueFire project, Metamorphosis—a highly enlightening musical introspective of his journey of discovery and artistry.
” From bluesy rockabilly to black metal, with stops to explore psychedelic rock, hip hop, reggae, and everything in between — this is the musical journey that led me to the sounds I call home and the music I make today.
We’ll play over backing tracks spanning rock and roll of the 50s and 60s to blues shuffles and psychedelic 70s rock, ultimately culminating in hard rock and metal. Along the way, I’ll share my influences, key learnings, rhythm techniques and lead guitar approaches for each genre.
I’m grateful for this opportunity to pay forward what I’ve learned from the influences that helped shape my sound. I hope it helps shape yours. “
You’ll have TrueFire’s interactive learning tools at your fingertips, allowing you to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.
The demonstrations and performances are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video with controls for looping, slow motion, fretboard animation, and many other tools designed to accelerate learning.

For the price it's a must for rock guitar enthusiasts
a great course, the first lesson is a lot of fun to learn, I think that piece by Tracii alone makes it worth the price. I've skimmed all the course and I'm looking forward to working my way through it. Would recommend it highly.
