How well do you know the music of

Gary Moore’s “GM Shreds” flaunts blazing alternate picking, legato runs, and emotive string bends, showcasing his mastery over blues, rock, and metal.

Eddie Van Halen’s bold solos like “Eruption” and “Cathedral” mix technical ingenuity with live spontaneity, while Shawn Lane’s “Get You Back” and Joe Bonamassa’s “Beck’s Bolero” reveal meticulous tributes paired with individual flair.
