Extremely Advanced Guitar Lessons
 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 7 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 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 7 of 10 Kristofer Dahl - Fusion Solo LessonThis solo illustrates lots of different fusion/shred techniques. With a slight blues influence, it uses chicken picking, chromatics, sweeping, tapping, one-note-per-string arpeggios and legato!  Difficulty 7 of 10 Steve Vai Style Solo LessonIn this lesson lesson we will approach Steve's pattented tones and techniques by analysing "Vai slides", whammy-bar tricks, lydian mode and plain shred! The backing tracks should allow you to start practicing these techniques slowly - and gradually work your way to the top!  Difficulty 8 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.  Difficulty 7 of 10 Marty Friedman style arpeggiosMarty Friedman is a true arpeggio master. He makes use of them in all possible ways: As effective shred licks, as a melodic tool and for phrasing. In this lesson we will have a look at the shred way of doing them - in the style of Megadeth "Rust in Peace" album.  Difficulty 8 of 10 The Motto is Oops...I believe the coolest songs are the simplest ones, consequently "The Motto is Oops" only contains three chords (!!). Since there is no change in key, it would be possible to stay in the E minor/Aeolian scale. However, If you want your solos to stand out, and not sound like the year was 1950 and you just discovered the pentatonic scale, you should try to land on the stronger, chord tones ... You will learn two-handed tapping licks, three notes per string legato runs, two-note per string picking runs.  Difficulty 7 of 10 Curious Coincidence ExercisesMastering these kind of techniques means a lot of challenges. The most obvious is: developping clean/controlled speed. In order to this it is exteremely important not to push youreslf to the higher speeds - as this will give you an uncontrolled technique. Instead practice the exercise at a tempo where you feel completely comfortable.
