Shred Guitar Lessons
 Difficulty 7 of 10 Legato Horizontal LessonIn this lesson we will work on basics of legato. It is very important to work on legato the correct way from the very beginning as it often happens that guitarplayers practice legato the wrong way - and later spend much more time correcting mistakes than actually practicing the technique. There are a few secrets you should know in order to master this very useful technique and you will find them all inside!  Difficulty 6 of 10 Legato Etude LessonIn this lesson we will work on basics of legato. It is very important to work on legato the correct way from the very beginning as it often happens that guitarplayers practice legato the wrong way - and later spend much more time correcting mistakes than actually practicing the technique. There are a few secrets you should know in order to master this very useful technique and you will find them all inside!  Difficulty 5 of 10 Sweeping Basics LessonBy request sweepmaster Pavel breaks down his technique into tiny fragments - for you to easily digest! In this part you'll see the main excercise for your right hand in order to master sweep picking. The trick for the right hand is to move the pick across all of the strings in one direction.  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 3 of 10 Speedpicking/alternate picking patternsSo now that you have got the basics down - it's time to get speeding. The key to "mastering" speedpicking is to be completely comfortable with a few of patterns of your choice. You will find that "pro guitarists" often don't have more than a couple of different speedpicking patterns - which they are so comfortable with that they can apply them to any scale in any direction on the guitar. This should be your goal too. In this lesson I will give you the tools to get going. Difficulty 3 of 10 Speedpicking/alternate picking basicsNumerous are the guitarists who speedpick, to mention a few: Yngwie Malmsteen, Al di Meola, Paul Gilbert, Zakk Wylde, Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore, Tony Macalpine, Ronni le Tekro, Jason Becker, Shawn Lane etc. I personally believe that this is one of the most difficult techniques to master on the electric guitar - especially if your goal is to be able to improvise with speedpicking. So let's dive into the world of guitar speed...
