Kristofer Dahl25th April 2017Thanks Leo, I have fixed the error under part 1. The change should become visible once cache has updated (within 24 h)
LEO89PRIEST25th April 2017Hi Ben. I just started with this lesson which looks awesome, challenging and helpful.
Looking at the tab of lesson 1 (natural harmonics) I think there's an error on it: when playing the harmonic on the 7th fret it looks like it should be on the B and not the G string. Please double check. Thanks again!
Ken Slocum21st April 2017What a very cool lesson. Really puts all the techniques in perspective. Had to put this one in my Bookmarks. Thanks Ben.....

Hi and welcome to my latest lesson. This time I've giving you the 'must have' techniques that you need to know if you want to shred! All the great guitar legends in rock and metal use these techniques all the time.
I'll be starting you off with some basics and then throwing some more challenging techniques your way, so by the time you've finished, you've truly run through the pantheon of shred essentials!
Not only will you be checking out some cool licks but you'll also be making a link from the technique to a famous guitar player who uses them, inspiring you to develop the techniques further.
Grab your guitar and let's get going!
