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!
QUICK TIPS TO PREPARE YOU FOR BATTLE *Make sure you get both hands in the shot when shooting your video*Make sure you use a metronome for the first several Missions and that the metronome can be heard.*After you complete a mission, shoot me a PM and let me know it's ready and I'll give you a debrief! These are pass / fail, so if you pass you BADGE UP and if not, I'll give you some feedback and you head in to the breach once again. *The first several missions are VERY simple. They are just to get you used to the bootcamp process. *Most importantly, there is NEVER a speed requirement in bootcamp. I want you to push yourself to play as brisk as you can, but NEVER at the expense of precision. If you find you are missing a note here and there, slow down a bit. Speed is just a byproduct of precision so my goal is to make you a very precise player. At that point, speed just happens. 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 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, no points for speed, only points for playing in a precise manner as speed is simply a byproduct of precision) Shoot a video and post it as a reply to this post. Make sure to EMBED the video by clicking on INSERT SPECIAL ITEM above the smiley face and then you'll get a drop down menu. Click on INSERT YOUTUBE VIDEO and follow the instructions in the Pop Up Menu. I'll then offer a constructive and brutally honest critique. THE AFTERMATH Upon nailing the crap out of lesson one at a speed you didn't think possible, and playing it a clean as a freshly waxed floor, you will be given your first insignia of Rank in BOOTCAMP! You will then proceed to Lesson #2 and so forth. Here is the link to the entire 400 plus Lesson Library. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...rtal:Techniques Here is the link to your own PRIVATE HOUSE OF PAIN!...Er I mean..

Im a real stickler for right hand technique it's soooooo important and often gets short shrift from some instructors as they sometimes have poor right hand technique themselves so they leave it alone. not a problem with GMC instructors thankfully We all have hardcore right hands or we don't get to work here
Thanks for the heads up on the 34 vid! I'll sort that. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=796936 Sarge Great. One thing I see at the first mission was that my right hand had bad habits. And I never played alternate picking in a straight way. Aleays in combination with economy. So I could never build up speed. But now I know that this was the issue.
One critics goes out to other teachers or coaches out there who never see the importance of the right hand techniques like u. It is the same issue on the classical guitar where they never teach u the right way of the right hand technique. The review at 34 is the same of 35. If u produced a video of 34 it should not be free. 🤓 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Mar 6 2022, 02:21 AM |

Here is the new bit for 36. It's the Minor scale done ascending. The 35 mission was major descending so this one is meant to show the same way of running a scale but just done in a different scale. The goal is to show you a way of running a scale that can be applied to any scale once you understand the pattern.
