#62: 3 Best Shred Tricks | How To Play Fast Neoclassical Licks!
Added 2020-02-28 14:00:03 +0000 UTCIt's time for some neoclassical shredding once again! In this lesson, I show you my 3 favorite tricks concerning that style. We work with pedal tone licks, harmonic minor scale runs, and arpeggios. I transcribed all the extra parts I talked about for you in the files below :)
You can also find different backing tracks for the very challenging lick I played in the video. My main intention was showing you those 3 different concepts in just one lick. You can also modify the lick (taking smaller concepts) and practice to the backing tracks, everything is in the key of A minor this time!
Hope you have fun practicing, have a great weekend!

Thanks for the feedback Steve, happy that you can benefit from the lessons :) It's crazy how one note can change the entire sound & color of phrases like that - discovering that small difference between natural minor/harmonic minor was a real game-changer for me back then!
