Alternate Picking String Skipping Extreme


Hey guys and dolls ! here is another shred guitar lesson, this one is string skipping and as I also explain in the video the obvious inspiration is of course Paul Gilbert but also that I prefer playing alternate picking all the way through instead of combining alternate picking with hammer on and pull off as Paul Gilbert does. There´s no doubt that this way of using alternate picking all the way is way more challenging since you have to be really quic...

Neo Classical Shred Guitar Pt. 3

Hey guys here is the final part in the Neo Classical Shred Guitar lessons, from the track we did in the first part. It´s a really cool sweep picking pattern that requires a quite subtle fingering to pull it off. I added a little slide that I actually did not use in the original track, but I think that little addition made it even better and more fun to play. When you check out my fingering in the video you decide how you want to do it and what fits you hand an...

Neo Classical Shred Guitar Pt. 2
 

Here is the next part of the Neo Classical Shred Guitar track we did in the previous video. Its the sweep picking tapping part and this time I go through the B major triad arpeggio. I do the Tapping part with the long finger and little finger and this way I get to keep the pick between my thumb and index finger and this is neccessary to be able to shift quickly between playing sweep picking and doing the tapping part. To avoid string noise after the sweep pick...

Shred Guitar Dreams
 

Thats what I call a shred guitar players wet dream ! playing extreme shred guitar in front of a large crowd - beautifull !! Well, apart from the fun little idea to make this into a video, the lick I present is also totally killer, its a Pentatonic Legato and also combined with tapping with three fingers. Lets just dive into the different aspects of the lick. The first challenge you might be facing if you are note used to it is the three string skips, first between the firs...

Sweep Picking 8 Finger Tapping 
 


Hey there, here is a lick that has really become one of my shred guitar favorites, its a lot of fun, it sounds awesome and it looks crazy. I like to think that when you have established the technique to play 8 finger tapping, sweep picking and four notes per string patterns and then of course to combine those techniques, then it is not that hard to play. Easy for me to say you might think, buuut, I would really like to encourage you to practice each of these te...

Sweep Picking Tapping Mastery 1
 
 

Hey guys, in this video I am showing you a very long major sweep picking tapping pattern that almost covers the entire fretboard, this in itself is very obvious that by covering so much of the fretboard it becomes much more difficult to incorporate it into your own guitar solo. The fine art og shred guitar solo playing in my oppinion you should be able to use very advanced shred guitar licks like sweep picking combined with tapping and in this example I chunk ...

8 Finger Tapping Shred Guitar Lesson
 

 Here is a new 8 finger tapping lick that is another way of doing eight finger tapping than I normally do it. Its a little inspired from TJ Helmerich who I would say actually use the Right hand in general 75 procent more than the left hand when he is soloing. The first thing of difficulty that comes to mind is the individual work of the right hand fingers since the first pattern the right hand is doing is almost all on different strings. What I found espec...

Extreme Shred Guitar - Stunt Guitar
 

Hey guys n´ dolls ! I suddenly got the urge to create a lick that is totally over the top, using the right hand behind the left hand and I think its very suited to dub it Stunt Guitar or extreme shred guitar ! First off when you are using this technique the right hand  behind the left hand on the fretboard the possibility of making huge amounts of noise is very present. So this is a technique you have to play and practice almost a million times to see prog...
