10 Shred Licks to Spice Up Your Leads
DOWNLOADS
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
Whenever practicing anything, always start slow and work your way up to faster tempos.
Speed should always be a by-product of accuracy!
