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 |

Makes perfect sense Sarge, it's that fourth bar sequence with the pinky going ot the 5th fret on the D string that gets me but for some reason, the first time around it's ok but on the second cycle of the four bars it goes awry even playing very slow so it's not a technique thing but a brain thing.
I WILL get it for sure, I thought Quick Licks had sorted my sequence remembering skills but there will always be one that gets one eh? I reckon I'll get a video to you by the weekend. Cheers Phil UPDATE: Here is Take 1 Sarge, I had a couple of minor mis-fingerings and played it up the neck until I fluffed it and converted it into a little eight note lick finale https://youtu.be/IHiWSXpD8As This post has been edited by Phil66: Feb 13 2020, 09:53 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

SORTED!!! Nicely done Soldier. This one is a bit tricky as it just keeps being tricky as it travels up the neck. You've got it handled!!! Let's Debrief!
MEDALS OF HONOR *SYNCH OR SWIM: Great job on synch! Perfect use of the metronome. One strike per click. Well done!! *MUTE OR DIE: Due to the massive amount of string/fret traverse, you gotta keep a good palm mute on this guy or string noise will just wreck it. Your mute is spot on. Well done! *AGGRESSIVE STYLE: This is a hard lick to play. You jumped right in and pushed the envelope and still kept it under control. Nice!!! In short you just....LEVELED UP!!!! I WILL get it for sure, I thought Quick Licks had sorted my sequence remembering skills but there will always be one that gets one eh? I reckon I'll get a video to you by the weekend.
