LESSON #48 - Exploring Various Methods of Shred
Lesson Series by Todd Simpson
As the old saying goes “There is more than one way to skin a cat”, feline cruelty aside, this idea applies to guitar as well. There is more than one way to shred a given scale, lick, etc.
Let’s take a shape we worked with recently and move it around a bit using various methods of shred. First up, let’s warm up a bit using mostly “Hammer Ons”.
- STRIKE ONLY THE OPEN STRING, HAMMER ON THE REST
- REPEAT EACH GROUP OF 3 NOTES, 4 TIMES EACH.
Next up, let’s reverse this pattern and use “Pull Offs”.
- STRIKE ONLLY THE FIRST NOTE, PULL OFF THE REST
- REPEAT EACH GROUP OF 6 NOTES, 4 TIMES EACH.
Now, lets try strict alternate picking and go both directions in the same lick.
- STRIKE ONLY THE OPEN STRING, HAMMER AND PULL OFF THE REST
- REPEAT EACH GROUP OF 3 NOTES, 4 TIMES EACH.
Finally, let’s cheat our speed up by throwing an extra finger in to the mix and taking the pick out of the equation.
- TAP THE FIRST NOTE ON 12th FRET WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND (Any Finger)
- REPEAT EACH GROUP OF 3 NOTES, 4 TIMES EACH.
