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! http://bit.ly/mirbasbootcamp Practice! Todd |

Also, here is a link to my signature vpick on amazon. It's the same one that Vinnie has on his site. The Vpick Switchblade Buffed.
The buffing gives it a bevel which aides in string traverse and sharpens the point for precision. https://www.amazon.com/V-Picks-SWBL-V-PICKS...r/dp/B01G5JALJY If you are in Europe, these guys ship international http://www.thepickshoppe.com/index.php?mai...products_id=634 Hey Todd,
Thanks for the information. I'm considering ordering a V pick to see if I like it. Also, I didn't know I should choke up on the pick. I'm going to try that. I also have a question related to the next mission. Mission 4 in an exercise of 10 notes. How do I play this with a metronome? Do I just play 5 notes each beat? because that's something i'm not really used to This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Dec 13 2016, 04:11 AM |
