I have created this blog to keep track of my progress on playing guitar, using the book "10 Minute Guitar Workout" by David Mead, where he proposes a guitar workout method that requires only 10 minutes on a daily basis. I am not publishing the excercises because of copyright reasons. I will also include some articles, opinions and other resources related to the electric guitar. Finally, I only hope it fits its purpose.

Alice Cooper - Poison
The purpose of this entry is to talk a bit about one of the most famous Alice Cooper's song: "Poison", which became a massive hit from his 1989's melodic hard rock album "Thrash", his biggest selling album worldwide.
The thing is, this was one of my first rock/metal tracks that I ever heard, along with couple others (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Queen, Guns and Roses, etc.), and which instantly got me hooked!! It was in a radio cassette that my friend David gave me, when we were in 8th grade, more or less. Every now and then, it has been always in my head. This does not mean that I am a really hardcore Alice Cooper fan.
But, when I found out about The Iron Maidens, I looked around the Internet to find out who this Nita Strauss was. A hot chick and a bad ass metal guitar player, you know... came out that she was playing in the Alice Cooper band.
And, for my (and your) pleasure, the video of how to play the track, by Nita herself. Enjoy!
