Pretty cool songs. Plus they have a guy named Tripp Dudley in the band. :P
Haven't seen any method training yet.

I listened to a couple of the songs, and didn't enjoy them very much. He rambles, and his hooks are ill defined because of that.

I looked through the PDF, and again he rambles, and his instructions are like his hooks.

I wouldn't use this as a reference personally, but if anyone else cares to have a look I will allow you to have your own opinion. :)

Now, if Billy Corgan wrote a method book for melodies I'd read that for sure. Or Neil Diamond. Or Frank Caravella. Or Jeff Fal. Heh.
