This is the second installment of the Speed lessons.
this is again, just warmup ideas and patterns.

-----3-----4---------5-----6---------7-----8---------9---etc
---2---------3-----4---------5-----6---------7-----8-----
-1-------------2-3-------------4-5-------------6-7-------
this is a good pseudo arpeggio warmup.
All the way up the fretboard then back down, dont forget
your metronome
Dont allow the past notes that youve played to continue
ringing. Slightly lift up youre finger that played the
last note to deaden the note so the notes sound individually
not as a chord and an ugly chord at that!

Once youve mastered that, try mixing those patterns up.
like this.

-------------------------3-4-1-2-------------------------
-----------------1-2-3-4---------------------------------
---------2-3-4-1-----------------------------------------
-1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------
The possibilities are endless, you could warmup with these
for the rest of your life and still be challenged.
You could also mix the first one with the other patterns
like this:
-------4-1-2-3--5----------------------------------------
-----3------------4--------------------------------------
---2----------------2------------------------------------
-1--------------------1-2-3-4--etc-----------------------
that will help you with sweep picking and mixing it with
single note runs.
You can also mix up these:
-----------------------------------------1-2-3--etc------
--------------------------------1-2-3-4------------------
-------------------------1-2-3---------------------------
----------------1-2-3-4----------------------------------
---------1-2-3-------------------------------------------
-1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------
Now thats an interesting pattern, keeps you on your
toes! Practice that like one e and a one two three four
The rest of this lesson will just be a suggestion of guitarists and
other musicians to listen to if you want to learn to shred.
Yngwie Malmsteen: He is the king of shredders. Very contreversial,
lots of people hate him. I think hes great, a great place to start
is his Rising Force album. Hes fantastic live, Ive seen three
of his shows so far, hes better live than on CD.
Vinnie Moore - He did that old Pepsi commercial where the guy is playing
the guitar and explodes the bottle with his playing. Vinnie isnt the
guy on the commercial, but he did the tracks. I cant remember the guy
in the commercial, hes not actually playing the lead tho.
Greg Howe - Fusion rock, very good, has several instrumental albums
and one with his brother on vocals Howe II. He is phenominal.
Tony MacAlpine - great shredder, very tasteful
Racer X - Paul Gilbert is a scary guitarist, his REH video is trans-
cribed in OLGA in the lessons.
Michael Lee Firkins - Very unorthidox way of playing, he emulates a
slide using his fingers and the whammy bar, lots of talent that one
has.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Blues player, Im sure you know that, hes fast,
and tasteful.
Judas Priest - Pick up Painkiller, those guys did some practicing!
they shred! Cant wait to pick up their new album when it comes out.
TNT - Ronnie is a great guitarist, he plays some great rhythms, and
some great leads, he holds back a lot, but when he lets go...
Look out!
Theres so many others, as I think of them I will include them in
the rest of the lessons.
Happy pickin!
