DIRECT LINK TO THE SHRED BOOTCAMP SIGNUP THREAD https://bitly.com/shredbootcamp
In this Thread we will get you from start to blistering speed!!!!!
RULES:
Simple! Just
1.) Reply to this thread and make your intentions clear! ATTACK! And....
2.) PM me and let me know you have decided to enter where few dare tread and have done all your warm ups and stretches and are ready to RAAAWWWWWKKKKKK!
I will then lead you through from the very start of my lesson series and you'll record yourself playing each one for the purpose of feedback and instruction. As you pass through the examples/lessons, you'll get promoted! I'll refer to you as Private, then Corporal, then "Sarge" then "Gunny" and finally "Master Chief".
At that point you don't need me anymore, it's time to recruit some grunts and share the pain!

Welcome to SHRED BOOTCAMP! I'll be your Drill Instructor! And I do mean DRILL! As in a large power tool used in slasher films and Paul Gilbert concerts. Here is were you EARN THE LIVING DEATH out of your fingers and break through any speed bumps/barriers to become a MASTER CHIEF of Shred!
THE MISSION
1.)Your mission is to go all the way back to the very start. The base of the mountain.
LESSON 1. http://bitly.com/gmclesson1
Which you will play SLOWWWWWWLLY, very SLOWWWLLLLYYYY until you master it at a crawl (As You'll Do With Each Mission, and focus on left hand FORM! Make it SUPER PERFECT!). Speed it up bit by bit until you feel your ready to take it to WAR (Any speed, it's up to you) Shoot a video and post it as a reply to this post. I'll then offer a constructive and brutally honest critique.
THE AFTERMATH
Upon nailing the crap out of lesson one at a speed you didn't think possible, and playing it a clean as a freshly waxed floor, you will be given your first insignia of Rank in BOOTCAMP!
Here is your link your personal training ground/HELL!

BOOT CAMP SOLDIERS!!!! Front and Center! THE LESSONS/MISSION in our WIKI have temporarily deserted!!!
The WIKI is having something akin to "Battle Fatigue" it seems and all of my Wiki Lesson/Missions have simply vanished. The team/crew is working on it and can hopefully wrestle the data back in to place. Until then, we are going to dig in to the old lesson thread and pull the lessons out one by one like pulling meat from the bone!!
Here is a shortcut link to the main LESSON THREAD!!!
Posted by: Todd Simpson Dec 10 2012, 02:21 PM
Good news! The MISSION ROOM (The Wiki Lessons) Are BACK!! Training can resume
Thanks BOGDAN For following up on this and getting it worked out!!!
