Description

I compiled 10 absolutely crucial shred licks that I literally can’t live without! For me, what I like to achieve is always writing solos that aren’t just “lick after lick”, but how to sew it all together. Many of these licks serve as the perfect glue, to glue YOUR own solos together and make them sound massive!

Example 1
Slide it up

Example 2
Alternate picking and string skipping

Example 3
Quick lick

Example 4
Sweep picking lick

Example 5
Tappety tap

Example 6
Alternate picking lick

Example 7
Pentatonic shred 1

Example 8
Tapping and legato

Example 9
Bend it up

Example 10
Pentatonic shred 2

Tip

Whenever practicing anything, always start slow and work your way up to faster tempos.

Speed should always be a by-product of accuracy!
