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 and 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 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! Practice! Todd |

Soldier you are on a MISSION! Actually several MISSIONS. As you complete one mission/lesson, start on the next! So Do one Lesson/Mission at at time, making a video example for each workout in a given lesson. If there are four examples, then you have to master all four and make videos so it gets CRAZY hard later on. For now, there are mostly one example per lesson. So start on your next!
All of the lessons/Missions are listed at the bottom of this page in the wiki! Get Moving Solider! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...-_Shred_Journey Todd |

Sir, coordinates for mission 1 were unclear, ended up wandering for years in a random asian jungle.
I have no way to video tape myself atm. But i can record audio, hope you don't mind. I am using my faithful Epiphone Sg, Guitar Rig and Jazz III Petrucci sig. I also play in the classical position with a guitar footstool - just in case your wondering - My current goal is probably 6 notes per beat at 130 bpm. Anyways.

Congrats on getting the Mission fought Soldier!!! Do you have a cell phone? Nearly every cell phone has a camera. That is a perfect way to record yourself The audio quality is beside the point. I really need to see you play if at all possible so I can give you some tips on how you are playing the MISSION. For now, we will work with what we have Just glad you actually started. Some folks never do, some folks just up and quit, and never get much better, please don't be one of those!
Onward! Let's debrief... MEDALS OF HONOR Welcome to a very Elite group Soldier!! You are off to a great start! 1.)Maintained splendid palm mute / right hand control.(one tip to follow) 2.)Maintained tight and precise picking. (well done there) 3.)Maintained control of each strike and it's timing. Very well played. Your left and right hand synchronization is quite good. Not being able to see how you are playing, I'm unable to offer any advice on exactly what you might change. But for now, ... YOU JUST LEVELED UP!!
