Difficulty 10 of 10 Extreme Neo-ClassicI called it Extreme Neo-Classic because it's pretty fast and includes lots of speed picking, sweeping etc. 
Difficulty 8 of 10 Shred Solo LessonInfluences of the neo-classical guitar players like Vinnie Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony MacAlpine, Michael Angelo Batio. We'll use different techniques like alternate picking, sweep picking, legato and vibrato. 
Difficulty 4 of 10 Sweeping BasicsThe secret of sweeping is to synchronize your right hand with your left hand. What you need to do is to place a finger of your left hand on the desired note at the same time than you are playing that note with your pick. As you do so, the next note needs to be placed on the adjacent string in the same direction as your pick is going. 
Difficulty 7 of 10 Shred Tapping SoloLegato, 8 fingers tapping (well in fact 7 fingers because I only use 3 fingers in my right hand), huge bends, bends with tapping and string skinpping with tapping. 
Difficulty 10 of 10 String Skipping Lesson 2In this one we'll try to achieve accuracy and tightness while skipping strings, all with alternate picking. And it's not only about moving vertical, but horizontal as well. 
Difficulty 9 of 10 Instructor plays InstructorWe got the request at the forum to play each other's lessons. And since there's nothing we won't do for our GMC students - of course we agreed on that! We decided to make it into a "sort of lesson" and explain how we step by step approached and and learned the solos.

Difficulty 6 of 10 C Minor Picking EtudeIt's all about alternate picking! I added some palm muting, string skipping and a nice trick regarding fingering. It's in key of C minor, tempo is 160bpm, all 16th notes, 2 patterns grouping wise.
