It’s the “ play it faster” part that is the trouble for some of us. We get how the scale goes…

I love it as a great exercise to improve my playing. I'm a very old and slow player with arthritis, part of the index finger on my pick hand missing, and generally . . . pathetic. Yet, by learning these scales slowly and gradually increasing my speed, it improves my playing overall, and for that I am very grateful. Thank you for your talent and expertise!

Hand synchronization, fretting hand dexterity, picking hand technique. Focus on those 3 things until they blend together and don’t hold each other back. Once this is achieved you have shred 😀

You mentioned ‘light bulb moment’ which is exactly what I had while watching your video! The efficiency improvement I got after adjusting my up down or down up stroke made a huge difference! It really opened some doors that I have been missing for a long time! Thanks for sharing and opening some doors of creativity! 🤟😀 This may have been one of the most helpful videos I have seen yet!

Great lesson. I’m with Paul. Tasteful note choice is always best but shred in moderation is fun and if you play in a band it goes down a storm as long as it not all night. I’ve found if you work on your technique and fast playing your normal playing becomes much better. I never thought I’d be able to play fast but during lockdown I had the time to practice every day and it started to come together. And with the utmost respect as I’m not an expert but I’ve made all the usual mistakes start slow with a click and build the speed slowly.

Great point, most don't realize the choices you make in picking direction have such a great effect on the ease of the passage. As a guitar instructor I'll add a bonus tip. Most people try way too hard to play fast and that manifests in tension in the hands. It's impossible to play with tense hands. What you have to do is find the fastest you can play cleanly with relaxed, loose hands and that is your practice speed. You want to maintain that relaxed, loose feeling as you progress in speed. If you push too far and tense up, practicing in that tension level, you're just teaching yourself how to get injured or plateau hitting the wall of what is possible for you in that tense state. Watch Yngwie Malmsteen's hands and you will see the way.

Awesome tip, now you've said it, it seems like common sense, your muscles n tendons get used to and adapt to how/what they are most commonly used for, eg if you did only quick, half press/push ups, it would be harder when you start doing full range, when you first train any muscle you start slow n nothing to heavy, until you get the technique of the exercise right

Good luck. (Troy Grady's "Cracking The Code" is INCREDIBLE as well)

GOOD lesson man!! i needed this!! everything has kinda clicked now with lead! i had 3 notes per string down really good, but was kinda stuck going up and down with my 3 nps shred licks, and then would kinda blindy try to find new areas on neck to apply other 3nps licks, but now i can see in real time a map of the fret board as i follow these 3 note shapes left and right since it's just another easy little pattern to memorize. the going up and down part was easy for me with 3 nps, the where the hell do i go next was the issue. this video, along with some robert baker evh shred lick videos, are a game changer for me!

This is where I struggle on guitar. Fast lines with alternate picking, lines that contain more than six notes... Those I usually fall apart on. I'm doing a little speed course to see if it will help. The left hand, which is my fretting hand, is doing great, but the right hand (picking hand) is where the problems arise. Staying loose and relaxed works well, but sometimes I think I make larger, longer moves of the pick than I need to, especially when I pick downward, but next need to move to the string above, or I pick upward and need to move to the string below. That jump over the string I just picked doesn't always go cleanly, I often catch it a little when going to the other string. It's hard!
