If you want to build up serious speed, this lick and licks like it are a great way to go. it's designed to shred. It's a direct rip off from Paul Gilbert and as such, is an ideal speed lick!!!! You are doing it just right!! The best part is that you are NOT letting the two strings bleed together. Your keeping the mute high and tight as it should be! To wit.... Congratulations Soldier!!! You just.. LEVELED UP!!! Onward!! Sarge QUOTE (Beat Zbinden @ Dec 15 2021, 01:59 PM) Lesson 42 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I love this hand drill. it really works the pinky and forces the hand to use the pinky and ringer finger together which can be tough at first but not for you!!! You krushed it! Your technique is on point and your playing this quite well. It's the same speed I play it at when Im warming up. It's not a shred lick per say more of a endurance drill. Your great form is helping you play this over and over without burning out your arm! You rawk!! Congrats Soldier you just... LEVELED UP!!! Onward!

I was waiting to see if you are going to put up another drill as you mentioned it in your post but i think this stands alone quite well and you've clearly put in time on it. If you want to add another part that's great but I think you can badge up from this one.

These two are very different which makes playing them back to back very tricky indeed. You don't miss a beat! You launch right in to the second bit and keep it smooth the whole time. I appreciate your SPEED RUN on the pass at the end. It's pushing the boundary and not quite as clean as the first but that's just fine. it's good to see you pushing it as that is where progress happens. in that spot where our fingers are beyond the limits. Your playing this under control at very briskly. Keep it up!! Congratulations Soldier! You just.. LEVELED UP!!! Onward!

Are you going to start a guitar boutique shop and make custom instruments for folks? or are these more just for you? Either way WELL DONE. That new blue one killer to be sure. Is it the first one with a top like that? The others look great but more raw and textured on the top. I like both! On to your Mission. You KRUSHED it. Your pinky is moving very well and that's the point of this. It's all about putting the finger fury to good use. This is also one of my fave solo licks! It works quite well in any solo where a blues scale would work. Even though some of the notes will be out of key, when played fast, it ends up working well. Your technique continues to evolve Soldier!! Congrats, you just... LEVELED UP!!! Onward! Sarge QUOTE (Beat Zbinden @ Jan 22 2022, 11:36 AM) Lesson 45 with my new selfmade guitar...

Not only are you able to play this with precision and aggression, you can play it over and over. It's a LOT of work and youve had reached the point where your hands can play in a relaxed fashion and still rip it up so that your don't burn out your hand. This is one of the key things in shredding. Being able to play complicated things without tensing up and without burning out the hand. Your fast take is equally impressive. You are shredding in a big way. This is perhaps the fastest I've seen you play and you maintain your precision. the next step in pushing the speed on this lick is the "strike once hammer many" approach. There comes a point when your left hand can out strip the picking hand. At that point, choosing which notes to pick is crucial. You don't actually have to pick them all as long as the mute is strong it will sound like picked note even if it's a pull off. Just something to start experimenting with. I picked it up from Paul Gilbert who i thought picked everything. As for this one, it's sorted!! Congrats Soldier! You just.. LEVELED UP!! Onward!

Thumbless technique is a tricky one to be sure but it's a great way to reset finger pressure. It teaches the fingers not to use the thumb as a fulcrum but instead just as a guide. Try it on just about everything even if just once. It You did very good work on this one. I can see the time you put in! Your fingers are showing the work!! Congratulations Soldier you just..

All of your work in and out of bootcamp is coming together and you RIPPED right through this one!!!! You are about to crossover the MISSION 50 BARRIER.

I went back and played it myself and realized something. I remember this session now and I originally played this with an overhand mute when I created it. I think I changed it to a bridge mute as some folks had trouble with the overhand mute. However, using only a bridge mute, it's nearly impossible to stop the guitar resonating and since it's thumbless, the fret hand can't relly help deaden string noise as it might otherwise do. So i've changed the Mission notes back to overhand mute. I think anyone who makes it to Mission 50 can handle an overhand mute. I'm sure you can. let me know!!!!
