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 |

Thank you for having me Todd.
So is this first lesson four notes per beat? Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Ahhh thanks, I wondered what the target speed is. I mean if it's 160bpm doing one note per beat that's a bit different to doing four notes per beat.

Ok Todd,
Finally I have recorded something. I need to find a better way to record though. I can't see how to record the metronome in Reaper. I'm sure I read somewhere that you can so I'll dig deeper. I wonder if there is a VST metronome? I'll look for that too. Anyway, here is 100bpm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rAwNXhL9_8...eature=youtu.be Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

BINGO!!!! CONGRATS SOLDIER!!!! This is your FIRST MISSION and you KILLED IT!!!!! Let's debrief...
MEDALS OF HONOR 1.)Maintained splendid palm mute / right hand control. 2.)Maintained tight and precise picking. 3.)Maintained control of each strike and it's timing. This is exactly what I like to see. You really nailed it. I know these first few lessons are very simple, but they do help you get your production process smoothed out and get you ready for the HELL that's yet to come!! *If you want to record a metronome in reaper, try this! A simple metronome is available under "Insert/Click Source" Hilight the resulting item and hit "Ctrl+F2" to change parameters. Drag the edge to loop to the desired length. Congrats Soldier, you just ... LEVELED UP!! Ok Todd, Finally I have recorded something. I need to find a better way to record though. I can't see how to record the metronome in Reaper.

Hello Todd
Sorry I'm not a prolific soldier but I have to put these exercises at the back of Gab's lessons. I am trying to improve but life seems to take over most of the time. Cheers buddy.

OK, first attempt at Drill 2. I completely didn't play the final note then thought "Oh shoot!" and played it but I ran out of time to re-record so posted this anyway.

Thanks Sarge,
Struggling a bit with the 3rd one, harder to keep the palm muting going. Working on it though, only started on it tonight.

To be completely honest with you I have been neglecting exercise three, I couldn't seem to improve at all so it went onto the back burner but I am planning on starting to practise it again this weekend.

Thanks Todd,
Just letting you know I had another go at this today, I got up to 190bpm with whole lick taking a bar. I started to get cramp in my forearm so had to stop I am back on it now though, just gotta find time to fit it in, I certainly can't do 30 minutes a day though.
