Welcome to SHRED BOOTCAMP! I'll be your Drill Instructor! And I do mean DRILL! As in a large power tool used in slasher films and Paul Gilbert concerts. Here is were you EARN THE LIVING DEATH out of your fingers and break through any speed bumps/barriers to become a MASTER CHIEF of Shred!
MISSON #1 THE MISSION 1.)Your mission is to go all the way back to the very start. The base of the mountain. LESSON 1. http://bitly.com/gmclesson1 Which you will play SLOWWWWWWLLY, very SLOWWWLLLLYYYY until you master it at a crawl (As You'll Do With Each Mission, and focus on left hand FORM! Make it SUPER PERFECT!). Speed it up bit by bit until you feel your ready to take it to WAR (Any speed, it's up to you) Shoot a video of you playing the bit along with a METRONOME or DRUM click in the background so that I can hear if your on beat or not, and embed it as a post it as a reply to this post. I'll then offer a constructive and brutally honest critique. THE AFTERMATH Upon nailing the crap out of lesson one, and playing it a clean as a freshly waxed floor, you will be given your first insignia of Rank in BOOTCAMP! After that proceed to MISSION #2. Here is a link to all of the missions. All 400+ of them. Our highest ranking Soldier is currently at LEVEL 30. http://bit.ly/twtgmc Here is the link to your own PRIVATE HOUSE OF PAIN!...Er I mean.. SHRED! http://bit.ly/phil66sbootcamp Practice! Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jun 4 2016, 06:41 PM |

Take 2 Sarge, I wanted to play it as you do so the metronome is only clicking on the down beat, this is, I find, more challenging than having the metronome click on every pick.
I also tried to minimise right hand movement. It's not perfect and my palm muting messes up sometimes but I can practise more if it isn't worthy of a pass, is a pass 80%, 90% or 100%?

Much better Soldier!! You slowed down a pinch and you are synched up to the click. You can use any type of click / beat that works for you. It's just there to help train your internal metronome. Eventually You'll hear the clicks in your head and you won't need the metronome.
This one has better overall control and I don't hear any double fretting. That's what I'm really looking for is a clean pass on Mission Vids. Progress Vids, can have mistakes galore, they are just for feeback. Mission Vids are ones that you are putting up for a Badge so they need to just be a clean take. Let's Debrief!! MEDALS OF HONOR ALTERNATE PICKING MADNESS - Firstly, this is all about alt picking. So if the alt picking is bad it all falls apart. Your alt picking here is good! Alternate Picking is the core of these drills. TRAVERSE IN STYLE - Secondly, I wanna see traverse. In addition to Alternate picking, this requires nearly non stop string traverse. Each time you switch strings, you risk missing the strike, or catching the pick on the string and missing a beat. No worries. Smooth as glass. SILENT AS DEATH - Lastly, Palm muting is always critical. Any gaps in the mute and string noise raises it's ugly head. Not here!! Solidly done. The first dozen or so are foundational bits meant to get you prepped for the more crazy bits. You have wads of experience from Quick Licks which should come in handy!!! This one is sorted YOu just. LEVELED UP!!!! Sarge Take 2 Sarge, I wanted to play it as you do so the metronome is only clicking on the down beat, this is, I find, more challenging than having the metronome click on every pick.
