Ranked No. 1 by Joel McIver in “The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists,” Dave Mustaine godfathered fast-heavy-metal guitar generations, first as the original lead guitarist for Metallica, and then as the founder of legendary Megadeth.

"...this isn’t a toy… Want to raise the next guitar prodigy? Lock your kid in a room with a guitar, an iPad and this app, and wait a few months." - WIRED.com

Want to shred like Megadeth? Never thought you could? Guess again. This is the app for that. The Dave Mustaine: Guitar Prodigy interactive App gets you -- whether beginner or expert -- playing the right notes at the right times within minutes -- on your guitar.

You can do it: On the Easy level, you'll play the right notes at the right time, but just not all of them.

Trust: the note-for-note transcriptions are from Dave himself.

"...no more bunk transcriptions and bad tabs; it's just like having a private guitar lesson from me. Also with my app, you can actually slow the parts down to make sure they are perfect!!

Better than a private lesson, and more fun than any guitar game, my app, 'Dave Mustaine: Guitar Prodigy,' actually teaches you how to play guitar, and with the leader boards you shred while you kick your friends *sses!" -- Dave Mustaine
