Shred Guitar

Essentially mastering the art of shred guitar boils down to just a few basics...

1) Choosing the right pick...

To be effective as a shred guitarist, you must use a thick pick. Thin guitar picks have way too much play in them to effectively obtain the speed required for shred guitar.

Now with that said, many of the really thick heavy picks do not have a smooth finish, so it's VERY important that you use a pick with a VERY glossy finish that will flow smoothly accross the strings with minimal friction.

There are two picks that are a absolute must for mastering the art of shred guitar. using them can literally shave years off your efforts, and not using these guitar picks can have you practicing and creating bad habits that can take years to break if ever.

2) Choosing the right metronome...

An effective metronome will have the ability for you the user to set it up to where you can tell the metronome to gradually speed up it's beats per minute every X amount of bars. For example, you can say every twelve bars speed up the beats per minute by four. I can't express how important using the right metronome is when you practice shred guitar. The main thing is that you definetly do not want to have to stop practicing a scale or pattern even for a few seconds to have to change the settings on a metronome. Mastering shred guitar absolutely requres using the right metronome. Theres an new saying, the magic is in the metronome. This is definitely a truthful statement. Using the wrong metronome can cost you big time.

3) Training DVD's

Their are literally a ton of different DVD's available out their teaching you tons of different Shred Guitar tricks, tips, and techniques. My absolute favorite for years that even today I still come back to to learn new riffs is the Intense Rock Complete 1 & 2 by Paul Gilbert. Beyond buying two or three off the shelf training DVD's there is YouTube. Just search Shred guitar on YouTube, and there are a ton of guys on their giving great little patterns, and tips on sweep picking.

Beyond these few tips, shred guitar really boils down to commited practice. The upside is really anyone can do it. Shred Guitar really does not take any great talent, but if you don't start off on the right path with the right tools, you can actually develop terrible habits that you may never break, or bad habits that can take years to break.

Not having the right tools can just lead you through years of frustration, constantly getting to certain pinnacles and points and barriers you just can't seem to break through, getting somewhat fast, but not shred.

So to re-cap, to master shred guitar, grab your guitar, choose one of the simple shred guitar riffs from one of your DVD's or You Tube, set your metronome too start slow then gradually speed up, and just keep going till your fingers just can't take it anymore, take a break, then start again. Trust me, it's well worth it when you get to that point of being a shred guitar master.
