Welcome to SHRED BOOTCAMP! I'll be your Drill Instructor! And I do mean DRILL! As in a large power tool used in slasher films and Paul Gilbert concerts. Here is were you EARN THE LIVING DEATH out of your fingers and break through any speed bumps/barriers to become a MASTER CHIEF of Shred!
MISSON #1 THE MISSION 1.)Your mission is to go all the way back to the very start. The base of the mountain. LESSON 1. http://bitly.com/gmclesson1 Which you will play SLOWWWWWWLLY, very SLOWWWLLLLYYYY until you master it at a crawl (As You'll Do With Each Mission, and focus on left hand FORM! Make it SUPER PERFECT!). Speed it up bit by bit until you feel your ready to take it to WAR (Any speed, it's up to you) Shoot a video and post it as a reply to this post. I'll then offer a constructive and brutally honest critique. *Here is a quick vid I did as an example of what I"m looking for in your Mission Video, Soldier! One pass of single picking, one pass of double picking, make sure I can see your picking hand and fretting hand, and using a simple beat locked in to each pick strike. Here it is Soldier!!! And here is the DRUM TRACK!!!! Use this one to keep it simple! 140BPM.mp3 ( 475.43K ) Number of downloads: 117 THE AFTERMATH Upon nailing the crap out of lesson one at a speed you didn't think possible, and playing it a clean as a freshly waxed floor, you will be given your first insignia of Rank in BOOTCAMP! Here is your link your personal training ground/HELL! http://bitly.com/quantumsbootcamp Practice! Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jan 18 2013, 03:57 PM |

Hey, Todd! : )
I just uploaded the video of the first mission. Shred Journey Mission # 1 But I'm a bit confused. It seems like I recorded a different task. Have you reedited your post? I'll record the second one as well. |

Hey, Todd! : ) I just uploaded the video of the first mission. Shred Journey Mission # 1 But I'm a bit confused. It seems like I recorded a different task. Have you reedited your post? I'll record the second one as well. Thats the right one Soldier! I had recorded another vid to show another Soldier a bit of a close up. In the vid above, I"m doing SINGLE PICKING and then DOUBLE PICKING whereas the Tablature is done in QUAD PICKING. Here is the direct link to lesson one again just to confirm. I"m going to dig in to your video to see if you have enough BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!!!! Congrats on drawing first blood!!! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...0%9D_-_Lesson_1 Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jan 21 2013, 05:38 AM |

You start of really strong on this one Soldier! But....about 16 seconds in you start to drift from the metronome and the timing falls down a bit. You've clearly made BIG improvements in you PICKING and MUTING!!!! Which is great to see
TAKE ONE MORE TRY/PASS on #4 FOCUSING ON THE METRONOME. Your pick strikes should be a subdivision of the "count" E.G. Four alternating pick strikes every time you count 1, another four strikes durin 2, same with three and four. Go ahead and count time and tap your food or bang your head. Timing (along with basic picking is the entire point of this lesson so you have got to stick the landing Solldier!! Todd Hello, sir! I finally made some time for practicing the shred drills. Here is my take of the task: Shred Journey #4 Greetings! |
