- So I'm undertaking a massive new project. @sweetwater has sponsored me trying to learn how to shred on guitar, so I asked my bud @DovydasMusic to come share some of his secrets with me. If you want to be cool, check out the Fishman Fluence pickups on the Strandberg Boden NX7 Prog we're both rocking out with this affiliate link:

A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his TH-cam channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.

I could listen to the clean shredding Dovy did all day, the high gain stuff maybe a 1 minute solo. Glad he pointed out that clean tone allows you to hear all your mistakes. Seems like unless you are performing, playing clean is more useful, even if not more fun. Thanks for posting
I used to think this as well, but after playing clean for a while then going to a distorted tone, I found a lot of noise coming through because playing clean does not force you to mute. If you're going to be playing mostly distorted, you should practice distorted, so you are ready to mute all the amplified little noises.
Dovy is a beast 🧑🎤
This video was the best World of Warcraft pitch I've ever heard!
Dude I love this. You’ve been my favorite Internet guitar teacher for a while now. I’ve been playing for nearly 2 years now and a lot of your videos just help me see certain aspects of guitar in a new way. And now it’s really cool to see where you haven’t explored certain areas of guitar. Like it’s easy to see someone who is great at guitar and think that they have all the tools and know all the ins and outs of the instrument, but in reality everyone has something new to learn. I don’t have enough interest in shredding yet to really dedicate myself yet, still getting through the beginner to intermediate stages. But I’m hoping to learn as many styles as I possibly can when I get the hang of playing in time and in rhythm
Happy New Year Dear soul!
Long time watcher of the stream.
Hat's off to you for continuing your guitar journey and publicly no less.
Your commitment to improvement in the area of "shreddin" is inspiring!
I look forward to viewing your progress and coming along for the ride.
Too long have I sat on my guitar laurels ( whatever laurels means) but no Longer.
From this day hence I am rededicating myself to learning new and exciting guitar skills.
Ryde on soulJah, Ryde on!
WE RYDE!
Dovy and his "B12 " super arm shot! lol...yall are great!
Thanks so much!
Love the vertical and horizontal demonstrations, can’t wait for more of this this month, patiently waiting and practicing 🤙🏼
This is random, but when watching Sean practice to a metronome I realized that the only way I ever practice scale fragments to a metronome is by playing them in triplets whereas Sean speeds up the BPM and plays a note per beat. I should probably start mixing that in as well in practice to change up the patterns I play. Nice vid Sean!
Love this so much! The way Dovydas talks is like he’s the Willy Wonka of guitar 🎸 playing!
Might give this a shot as well. Shreding never been an interest of mine, but I guess it's a good way to spice it up in 2022.
Who wants to shred economically when you can fly across the fretboard in first class?! Cheers Sean and Dovydas!!
Davi is straight beast mode
I've been avoiding it for too long. I'm going to try having my tuner pedal on all the time when doing these practice runs and get the fret board mapped.
@LCL I agree with that, though being able to jump on a triad any where on the fret board is a good thing.
The Most Handsome "SHREDDERS" on The INTERWEBS!!!!!
That’s the pattern I’m using Dovydas inspired me!! Picked up the guitar 6 months ago….. after finding Dovydas!!! Stole my son’s strat and amp 😂🤣 !!
Sweet lesson. Dovydas is pretty good, and pretty good at flexing 🤣
Thank you, and much appreciated. Looks like my 7-string will be getting some much-needed attention.
Just noticed that the angle that you and Davi hold your picks is different. Compared to a flat angle against the strings, Davi holds his pick turned edge slightly upwards, whereas you hold yours, as most of us do, with the pick edge angled slightly downwards.
@@jackmaple6679 This I know. But does it matter which direction for shredding?
@@gernblenstein1541 a lot of it is personal preference. I personally angle upwards. Experiment around with it and see what feels more comfortable.
Greatest shredder of all time!!!! I agree ☝️!!!
Looking forward to these shredding videos.
More of this man!
It's always about "transferring processing from head to hands". When you first start, you go from placing fingers one by one to "grabbing a chord", and now you're going from not quite hunt-and-peck, to "typing" sequences. You got to your starting point for this by first hunt-and-pecking them, though.
I like Dovdas's emphasis on the musicality of that. It's like being able to just think "C", and immediately just grab that "C" the music requires. The better you get at it, the more you can focus on expression, rather than on "search".
It's not everything. If you check out Paul Gilbert's more recent interviews, for instance, you'll often hear him talking about what a challenge playing "less shreddy" music is to him, and how that's what he's been focusing on. (And complaints from fans have not put him off; he has some musical objectives, and he's going to follow those, because it's the music that matters - in fast passages as well as in something "groovy".) He says there are "two types of guitar players" th-cam.com/video/iFr3TRN2CWk/w-d-xo.html
Paul's quest to "move beyond shred" goes back at least ten years, now, I reckon. An early example (which also shows how handy it can be to have some speed at your command at times) is *Enemies (in Jail)* th-cam.com/video/iZ1ODg-HN50/w-d-xo.html
(He's just a great source of wisdom about everything, so I'm also just using this as an excuse to commend him to you in general.)
I've been trying to develop some shred ability recently as well. Like you are saying, the end goal needs to be musical. Going against Dovy, one of my favorite exercises it doing "circular" 2 string economy picking up and down the neck. It sounds great and pretty usable without it sounding too neo-classical. Mike from Art Of Guitar has a great video on it called Circular Picking Secret Weapon.
Thanks, Sean (and Dovydas!) I am somewhat relieved by the suggestion that this can be practiced on clean setting.
This is out of the box, but I've been doing a free online touch-typing course the past two weeks. I can already touch-type but I developed some bad habits in lockdown. Those exercises have done wonders for both my hands playing guitar. I feel like Allin Holdsworth if I pick up the guitar after doing my typing exercises for 15 minutes. It’s a great warm up and kind of sight reading training to because you have to watch the screen.
Dovydas is amazing!
Too much overdrive, but I like the idea. Dovydas is--well Dovydas. Just too Amazing as a musician. I remember the impossibility of three notes per string until it suddenly became possible. I was Certain I could Never do it--but I was wrong. I might have to practice along with you since I am absolutely not proficient in any speed category with it. My fingers are filled with thick glue compared to Dovy's controlled wet noodles. The years have not been kind to my hands. Stay Well Groovy One and Thanks Sweetwater...and Dovydas!
Dovydas is the Gandalf of shredding. Sean needs to get him a Gandalf hat and staff.
Beautiful guitars and nice tutorial, gents! This ol' salty armchair shredder agrees with the master; practice on the clean setting.
I really like your videos and explanations, thank you Sean! Hey what is that metronome device you are using?
I wish my fingers moved that good Sean 😩 !!!
OK, Sean stretched from the 1st to the 6th fret, but what was Dovy's stretch? Did I miss it or didn't they show it?
Best crossover ever? Might just be...
I don't think I'll ever be able to shred, forget sweep picking 😪 campfire chord songs forever lol
This Is The Way!
I think doing these exercises incorporating the pinky will be a LOT more beneficial in the long run. 3 notes per string can have some pretty long stretches as one nears the headstock. JMO.
starting out slow Rydin, getting to the gallop in time!!! Keep going my man.
I am a bass player but I also play guitar and I dont ever use a pick. I learned to play guitar without one. It works for me. But it certainly limits me to the speed I can play. Someday I want to learn with a pick but I would have to start from scratch. Not sure if I really would have enough patience
Sean, you made me laugh so hard. 😆 Great video.
How much does the action on the guitar make a difference? I'm guessing it makes a huge difference to be able to press down the strings with ease up and down the neck .
Action makes all the difference. I've always said a cheap guitar is fine as long as there's no neck issues that can affect setting a good action.
I can probably use this when I’m practicing my Carpenters medley..🤔
Lol 9:13 Sean throwing down his cantina band arrangement.
If Sean can do it… I can struggle like hell and practice too at least! Dovy makes it look too easy.
Haha I was right the other day I stumbled across this dude playing in the park and I could have swore I saw you walk up with this brunette and you were talking about Fleetwood Mac and she had you hold her cup and I'm like that Sean that you were standing so far away from the camera I wasn't sure that I was like damn and then this video pops up so I didn't have to harass you about being out with other women haha
Haha yup. That’s me!
10:43 I lol'ed
So starting with Ionian played with three fingers a string
Aren't you just going to learn the other modes played with three fingers per string giving you seven scale shapes
?
Or have I missed something
I will try to walk this path with you though an hour a day will be a stretch
....so... when do we get interpretive dance?
interesting concepts, but I do not think I could ever be able to shred like Davi, and soon to be Sean too ;-)
Here 🙋♂️
Is the grey hair to go with the guitar or is it due to the stress of attempting shredding? Or even, perhaps, Covid PTSD?
Dude, get one of those metronome watches, they really help. Your doing good ! You don't need luck, you need dedicated time on the fret board. Consistency, and hard work. We, your viewers, absolutely need you to succeed.
So funny you say that, I actually JUST got one!

Dovydas counts to 3 like a foreigner👆
What's with the odd upward inflection at the end of some sentences Sean? Is that practiced?
Very informative! (guitar) Warcraft ha
Twin guitars!
Anything seems difficult when you don't know how. Or anything is easy when you know how. Learning the Alphabet when a kid for example 😁
I wish you good luck with that, and I'll check in to see how your doing! I just can't seem to have any interest in 'shredding'. The guys and gals that do it I think are amazing. Just not my bag at all. Maybe you could get John_5 to busk with you! That would draw a crowd!! LOL 8) JMHO --gary
Best defence to an anticipated salty comment I have ever heard!....
"Shred" and "Grunge" are media terms used to label music genres. You don't learn to play grunge or to shred, it what's happens as a result of your musical expression
You say you like to play while watching movies, I do that sometimes, but I also do it while listening to the GF tell me something... then I do it while she asks me if I'm listening....
Yeh was just about to do
If y’all didn’t know this video is sponsored by sweet water.
Oh, I thought you covered this when you were talking earlier. You said you like to put your nose in the sound hole. Isn't that shredding?
Wait, who was this video sponsored by again?
It was rather hot 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍
Noice
I always think the first six months should be focused only strengthening exercises and not trying to 'learn music' - sets you up for a lot of different things later
The easiest way to shred guitar is to toss it into a wood chipper. Personally, I don't think shredding sounds musical. It isn't about creating a mood, conveying an emotion, or telling a story...it is all about showing off. The fastest player isn't necessarily the best player.
Screw economist picking
I pick Paul Krugman.
b12 shots= bacardi's 12 shots.
First w
I wish I could get paid to practice I'd be fill the gas tank all the way rich lol
Good to see two great guitar players sitting less than 6 feet apart and not wearing the stupid mask 😷 I wish I could move to florida where people are still free.
Dude have sweetwater get you a noise gate hood lord
I appreciate you trying to teach shredding but it still would have been less cluttered atleast for me if you didn’t use a 7 string. Ughh. Why?
I've done a bunch more recently on a 6 string
Use 6 string!!
Don’t do pateon you tube!!
Personal opinion , but to me most so-called Shredding is boring as hell . Give me a player such as a Leslie West or a David Gilmore . Who have smooth and tasty licks along with an awesome tone that sticks in your mind . Ripping and Shredding may be impressive but it ends there .
So your using a 7 string guitar on a newbies shredding video ?? 🙄..yeah..that's completely useless to EVERYONE 👎
matching Guitars ... Girls really? get a diff color at least, sheeesh.
salty Comments nominee 🤔????
aww come on man it was stupid And sexist 🤨! ! !
how bout an honorable mention ?😉
Rick Graham is an economy picker and sounds a hell of a lot better than anything this dovydos guy does
yeh...takes skill but sounds meh
here's a salty comment. your accent is super annoying. especially at 50 seconds in.
How can shredding not be musical? Like any other music, it all ties together. Most leads set alone sound just like practice and rarely sound "musical". It's what's behind the "shred" that makes it all come together. Even blues without bass & drums just sounds like a bunch of bends & scales. Hope all is well, take it easy.
