Guitar Lesson Overview
Sweep picking and tapping - you probably think of me as a blues player, but I was into this shredding stuff a lot when I was a teenager. Here's a flashy shredding lick for you to learn. You can download the TAB in PDF format, and Guitar Pro 6 file below. The backing track is from the Line 6 JM4 looper pedal. The song I used on the JM4 is called "Alt Rock" and the guitar tone used is also from the JM4 - "4 The Lov Vai" and is great for this style of playing. It really helps to have a high gain sound and a bit of delay when playing this style of legato/hammerons/pullofs. Shredding is fun, even for an old guy like me! Haha!
The
Line 6 JM4 Looper is a great tool for practicing and coming up with ideas. If you want a jamming buddy that easy to use - turn it, select song/drum track, and start jamming - then the
Line 6 JM4 Looper
is for you.

Comment added on April 16, 2011it would of be nice if you played it a little lower on the neck. Most Strats don't have a 22nd fret

Comment added on February 13, 2011I just stumbled upon you on youtube and first of all, "wow"! your great and you walk through those tough progressions slow enough for a guy to catch on so thanks for that and I was wondering if you are in a band or have some recordings I can access?
