Super Advanced Lessons
Difficulty 8 of 10 Yngwie Malmsteen Style LessonIn this lesson we are going to look at the amazing guitar style of Yngwie Malmsteen. We will use some of his favourite licks, arpeggios, and classically oriented phrases. Pay attention to his many picking techniques, such as alternate and sweep picking, and his scale choices. You should incorporate this techniques and scales to your playing and composing. 
Difficulty 8 of 10 Alternate Picking Lesson 2Time for the second Alternate Picking Lesson. In this lesson we will move down to 3rd and 4th strings to make it more interesting and also to practice your thumb as this excercise will force you to KEEP YOUR THUMB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NECK - as well as to force you to MUTE THE STRINGS you don't play. So if you are ready for more shred - get in here!! 
Difficulty 8 of 10 John Petrucci Style LessonThis lesson is a guitar solo over a 7/4 riff in the style of John Petrucci, Steve Morse and Zakk Wylde. It is a very interesting exercise that includes alternate picking, legato and bending.The backing track is a Gm based riff. We will use two different scales in the solo. First we will play a G Dorian scale and then G Pentatonic minor scale with chromatics as passing notes. 
Difficulty 8 of 10 Alternate Picking Lesson 1At first look - this lesson may look difficult - but even if you are a beginning guitarist I suggest you start practicing this one because it will show essential ways to practice scale boxes and alternate picking. You don't have to play this lightning fast right away. Start practicing slowly to develop the correct right hand picking. Now let's dive into the world of alternate picking! 
Difficulty 8 of 10 Power-Metal SpeedriffingIn this lesson we will use speedpicking licks to create a speed riff. If you ever listened to any power-metal bands you probably wondered how do they come up with their riffs and speedriffing is a good example of that. When you finish playing this riff you'll notice that all we did was combining simple powerchords with scales. Sounds interesting? Get on it! 
Difficulty 8 of 10 Mixed Solo LicksThis solo is an example of how to combine different techniques into one cool sounding solo. Bending, tapping, legato, slow sweeping and using two fingers of your right hand to tap. Looks wild, but don't worry - you can do it - jump on it! 
Difficulty 8 of 10 Fusion Solo Lesson part 2"Map My Gap" fusion solo lesson continued. This part will be an excellent illustration on how to create a speedpicking run from our 101 speedpicking lesson patterns. The solo also yields some horizontal phrasing à la Steve Vai as well a some Eric Johnson style arpeggios. In this lesson you will find some difficult techniques as well some intermediate licks. 
Difficulty 9 of 10 Sweeping Lesson 2 (5-string shapes)After you got familiar with 3-string sweep picking it's time to move onto some 5-string shapes!These shapes will allow you to create some long crazy runs and you'll also see how to combine them with 3-string shapes. Cool thing about sweeps is if you have a melody in your head you can replace one note with the whole arpeggio shape and make a crazy sounding solo. For example, instead of playing the note A in a melody, you can play the whole A minor triad arpeggio. 
Difficulty 8 of 10 Sweeping Lesson 1 (3 string shapes)Sweeping is one of the coolest shred trick to play crazy solos that sound "WOW!". When you get it down and combine with other techniques you'll be able to play really crazy solos that will sound like: "How the hell did he do that?!". When i first met this technique and heard Michael Angelo Batio sweeping I told myself: "There is no way i will ever be able to do that!". With hard practice and feeling of: "I am gonna get you!"- you too can too!! So get your guitar and build your sweeping skills here! 
Difficulty 9 of 10 Speed Licks Solo Lesson - GMC Intro!An unaccompanied solo with two-handed tapping, speedpicking and legato - combined with artificial screams and bending...does it get any cooler...? This solo utilises many of the techniques discussed in gmc 101 lessons, as well as stringskipping - as a bonus.
