Petitkyu's Bootcamp!, Welcome to the Path of the Warrior! Options

[Todd Simpson]

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 (upload to youtube then embed here using INSERT SPECIAL ITEM) 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.

Hi Sarge,

you are right... I am really focussing on speed...
iIn this take, at 110 bpm, I really try to listen to the metronome... not that easy...


have a nice day!

Now your talking! you've got very solid techinque here Soldier and in addition your new rushing it at the end and your staying no top of the beat. If you want to push the speed, this is a great drill for it since it's very linear and you don't have to traverse strings every other note. So i'd say keep this one in your warm up set and push the BPM just a bit each time until you are burning down the neck. It's a fun lick. Also, you can run it in reverse. As a brain workout, see if you can flip to an ascending note just as something to play with. You can run it descending and then ascending back up. It's the double pick on each position that makes it sound faster than it actually is. I love single string licks. They are always fun and always a good workout.

You've got this one sorted. You are ready for what's next!!

You just....


LEVELED UP!!!

Onward!!
