Introduction
Hello GMC,
Welcome to my first lesson called "Shred 'N Roll" on the Aspiring Instructors Board.
I think you probably have seen me around before but I'll introduce myself anyways 
My name is Ezra van den Bosch and I live in Holland.
I'm 15 years old and I've got 3 years left to do on school.
I play the electric guitar from my 14th birthday and I love it.
When I'm not practicing I'm either doing schoolwork or skating/having fun with friends.
My favorite guitarists are Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert and Yngwie Malmsteen I especially
like Joe Satriani because of his awesome songwriting skills.
I like playing Classic to Progressive Rock, Metal and Country/Blues styles plus I find shredding fun to do.
The bands I like most are Van Halen, Guns 'N Roses and Rage Against The Machine.
Soon I'm going to record a demo with my personal teacher and I'm going to look for a band to join near my hometown.
I hope to be able to teach you lots of stuff on GMC
My Gear
My guitar is an Ibanez RG Prestige with active EMG's and a floating tremolo system (with a whammy bar from a Stratocaster).
I use 1 huge guitar pedal which is the Line6 POD XT Live and I plug that into my computer.
About the lesson
This lesson is in the style of Paul Gilbert (which is in high demand) and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
The 2 guitar players mixed together is what I call Blues Shred, which is really fun to play.
Paul Gilbert is popular in the Shred Scene and played in Racer X, Mr. Big and plays solo nowadays.
SRV played in Double Trouble did unbelievable great blues work, and now rests in peace.
Check out SRV's awesome song "Scuttle Buttin'"!!
You'll find some of the licks I used.
The Lesson starts out with a Rage Against The Machine influenced riff in E minor pentatonic with the added blues note (b5).
Then the Bass Guitar and Drums kick in.
The Bass Guitar mainly just plays the same riff as the Rhythm Guitar.
The Drums go with the groove of the Main Riff.
The solo contains some double stops, crazy bends, crazy legato, flashy 16th triplets runs and some bluesy licks.
The piece is at 100 BPM on full speed.
The time signature is 4/4.
Let's Start!!
