Visit my Patreon for lesson materials and presets!

With mostly a Blues, Jazz and Rock background, watching people shred an insane line always seemed out of reach for me and my style of playing. But as my interest in how the mechanics might work, I found there is actually a method to the madness. Join me on this brief look into the world of shred guitar and learn how it can be a lot simpler than you might imagine.

Igor Paspalj. You're welcome.

[@RobTackettCovers]

wow when i play in 3s like you present, it is hard not to think triplets for me

[@mathew_dale]

Yeah it’s difficult to play in groups of 3 in a division of 4. Great to practice though!

[@pemerhatidunia5235]

hear like The Best Time

[@RobTackettCovers]

I just noticed you are using a thumb pick...

[@iainMacDonald-fg2ew]

Mathew I will subscribe what is your guitar make. Many thanks.

[@mathew_dale]

Thanks for watching! The guitar I'm playing here is a Strandberg Boden Fusion NX

[@Sea_Jay]

Great advise! Can I ask what pick you use? That looks like it could solve my issues with my pick turning sideways in my fingers or just plain dropping it!

[@mathew_dale]

Sure thing! It’s a Fred Kelly bumblebee jazz pick.

[@Sea_Jay]

@@mathew_dale Appreciate it! I'm going to try one

[@kane6529]

Your Shredding that shirt Broski! Toight like a fooking Toiger!

[@davidyoung8875]

What is that thing on your thumb?

[@tolgaguven3467]

Lol; it's a thumbpick. Not really the pick of choice for neoclassical shredding.

[@mathew_dale]

Specifically it’s a Fred Kelly bumblebee jazz pick. Basically a Jazz III on a thumb loop
