Hi!
My name is Kjetil Larsen. I live in Norway, Drammen. Quite close to the capital Oslo. I've played the guitar for exactly 4 years, and my favorite guitarists are: Shawn Lane, Vinnie Moore, Tony Macalpine, Gary Moore, Robert Marcello, etc. I work as an automation-electrician (PLC and such.) On freetime, I mostly spend my time with wife, kid, computer games and of course the guitar. Here is a picture of me and my then newborn son, Alexander.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shape 1 - Cmaj7add aug5 arpeggio. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a Cmaj7 arpeggio shape, with an added augmented 5th. It really adds some tension. You can add this note in several places, but as I am not great with sweeps and economy picking, I made a seperate slow take for this. The last slide is just a chromatic, I added it 'cus it sounded cool.

Number of downloads: 362-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shape 2 - Diatonic shred -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Easy to learn-shred line with some string skipping. As always, switch between max speed and max clean speed to learn this. That way you practise strength&stamina aswell as syncronization.

I start off with an descending Bmin7 arpeggio, ascending Cmaj7, descending Dmaj7 and finally ascending Amaj7.
