In the Style of
 Difficulty 7 of 10 Metalhead Solo LessonIn the vain of metal prog bands such as SymphonyX or Dream Theater, this little instrumental is a great workout for all the serious shredders that you are. Tapping, legato and alternate picking are the main focus here. Take each licks individually and try to apply the ideas that you like in your own playing.  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 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 6 of 10 Neoclassical Alternate Picking EtudeThis exercise is a short neo-classical song in the style of Vinnie Moore, John Petrucci and Yngwie Malmsteen. This is a good exercise to practice alternate picking, sweep picking and a little of string skipping.  Difficulty 1 of 10 Tapping 1 - The Basics and BeyondThis time we will look at tapping à la Eddie Van Halen/Randy Rhoads/Kirk Hammett. Tapping has to be one of the most popular techniques on the electric guitar - and why wouldn't it be? It's easy to play fast, easy to improvise with, looks very difficult - not to mention it sounds terrifyingly cool! Difficulty 5 of 10 Country cheating One-on-One lessonTime for some wild Country/Bluegrass style guitar - hopefully this will get you closer to masters such as Albert Lee and Greg Koch etc.  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 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 Eric Johnson Style SoloNo one can play like Eric Johnson, his sound is the result of phenomenal picking technique, precise left and right hand synchronisation and fingering, note choice etc. Mr Johnson has extremely sensitive ears - to the point he claims he hears the difference between different battery manufactures. Because the technical aspects of his sound can get quite tricky, we are instead going to focus on the things which will make your playing sound more like Eric Johnson's, regardless of your set-up. By nailing some of the licks in this solo, you will have taken your very first steps towards Johnson land...!  Difficulty 7 of 10 Kirk Hammett Solo TricksTime to look at the style of this extremely popular heavy metal guitarist. Conveniently enough, this lesson comes right after the Matserclass "Hot Blues" lesson - because Kirk Hammett's style is in fact heavily inspired by blues. This lesson will mainly deal with Kirk's solo style from the Metallica "Black Album" and onwards . Mr Hammett himself claims his goal with his new solo approach was to get "a bit bluesier" - and the result was an effective blend of metal, blues and wah-wah driven madness. This lesson will take you one step closer to playing like your guitar hero.
