Elevate Your Guitar Skills with "51 Extreme Shred Licks" at LickLibrary.com
Unlock the secrets to advanced guitar techniques with LickLibrary.com's "51 Extreme Shred Licks," a comprehensive video lesson series by Sam Bell, designed for guitarists who are ready to push their playing to the limits. Whether you're looking to enhance your solo performances or add sophisticated licks to your repertoire, this product offers detailed guidance on several key shredding techniques, each critical for mastering the art of guitar playing.
Fast Alternate Picking
Fast alternate picking is a fundamental technique for any shredder. It involves alternating between downstrokes and upstrokes at high speed, ensuring clarity and precision in fast passages. Mastering this technique through our lessons can dramatically increase your picking efficiency, allowing you to execute fast licks and riffs with ease. The benefits extend to improved timing and rhythmic accuracy, essential components for any aspiring lead guitarist.
Complex Legato
Legato playing enriches your musical expression by producing fluid, continuous sounds without the attack of the pick. Our lessons delve into complex legato techniques, including hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides, focusing on maintaining a consistent tone. Learning these skills will enable you to play faster and more smoothly, reducing hand fatigue and enhancing the melodic quality of your solos.
3 Note Per String Pentatonics
Expanding the traditional pentatonic scale into patterns that span three notes per string opens up new avenues for speed and versatility. These lessons help you navigate these scales efficiently, facilitating rapid runs and expansive leaps across the fretboard. This approach not only boosts your scale knowledge but also increases your ability to improvise across different musical genres.
String Skipping
String skipping is a technique that involves playing non-adjacent strings to create wide intervallic leaps, adding a unique dimension to your playing. Our tutorials guide you through the mechanics of skipping strings smoothly, enhancing your ability to incorporate this technique into complex solos and riffs, thereby broadening your expressive capabilities.
Multi-Finger Tapping
Tapping is not just for solo guitarists; it's a versatile technique that involves using multiple fingers of the picking hand to 'tap' notes on the fretboard, producing a rapid, fluid sound. Our lessons cover various tapping approaches, from simple single-finger taps to more intricate multi-finger configurations, drastically expanding your creative potential and technical prowess.
Sweep Picking
Sweep picking allows for the smooth sounding of individual notes in a chord or arpeggio with a single motion of the pick. This technique is essential for playing fast, clean arpeggios that sound like a seamless stream of notes. Our lessons meticulously break down the sweep picking motion and finger positions needed, greatly enhancing your efficiency and accuracy in playing complex arpeggios.
Combination Licks
Combination licks involve integrating multiple techniques into a single, fluid musical phrase. These lessons teach you how to blend techniques like bending, tapping, and sweep picking, enabling you to develop your unique style. Learning these licks can significantly increase your improvisational skills and adaptability, making your playing stand out in any musical setting.
