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! bit.ly/yoncopinsbootcamp Practice! Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jun 21 2016, 08:49 PM |

Stick a fork in it, it's done! I did notice you fell off the horse right near the end of the vid, but after playing with precision on this lick for nearly a solid minute, I think it can be overlooked.

Yes you have quite an awesome collection! I've had it about six months. I got it in its current form off eBay for about $400, I wanted a slightly newer HSH to complement my 1989 RG760. The RG570 is MIJ as well. Sometimes I'm really into the Ibanezes and sometimes I'm really into the Fenders. It's great to be fortunate enough to have a variety
 . I used this GMC buyers guide to help pick it out.

Alright, here's Lesson 7

I have two nice ibby's (RG560 and RG7620 both mij) but those are probably the only ones I"ll ever have as they are just to darn pricey anymore. Seems like everyone is trying to buy the old Ibbys!! Not long ago you could get an RG560 for $300 or so (that's what I paid) now it's sometimes double that. Uggh!!! I've resorted to buying newer ibby's like the XPT700 and XPT750. I"m keeping the XPt750, it feels a pinch faster and the neck is a pinch thinner and it's got different pickups (D activator X). I also just bought another RGT42FM. I sold the last one and then started to miss it.
