Does Music School Actually Work? My Experience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- Bands like Metallica, Dream Theater, Megadeth and Black Sabbath inspired me to pick up the guitar at age 14. There was just one problem... when I plugged in and cranked the gain to 11, I sounded HORRIBLE!

I couldn't figure out how to get the sounds in my head to flow through my fingers. I tried guitar lessons, joined a band and even played at church but nothing seemed to work. I didn't see the kind results I was after until going to music school in 2001. That's when I finally started to piece things together. How to play in a key, soloing, composition, ear training and more. My Music Theory Program Package is a culmination of everything I learned at school. It's designed to realize your creative potential FAST. This course is specifically designed for players who feel uninspired, or feel like their motivation has diminished over the years. If you don't really like guitar and hate the thought of practicing, this course is NOT for you. I promise to show you the fastest path to master music theory but it will take work. This course contains over 200 pages of transcriptions, tabs and over 20 hrs of video. Topics include, music theory, ear training, neoclassical metal, how to write a guitar riff, how to solo, how to play guitar for beginners, scale + chord bible, ultimate guitar workouts, how to practice, guitar modes, counterpoint, how to increase your speed, classical guitar, negative harmony, 12 tone rows and much more!
🎸Music Theory For Guitarists
If you have some background in guitar and aren't a complete beginner, Music Theory For Guitarists will teach you everything I learned at music school. Nothing like this exists on the internet. Over 4 hours of interactive video content, 26 pages of transcriptions, TABS, Standard Notation, guitar pro files, pdf’s and play along practice tracks totaling 30 minutes. There's a crazy amount of value in this course. You’ll master pitch, the guitar fretboard, the musical alphabet, how to read music, tabs, intervals, scales, modes, triads, 7th chords, chord inversions, keys, the circle of 5ths, interactive ear training quizzes, note identification, fretboard note location, time signatures, rhythm, 12 bar blues, jazz, rock and counterpoint. I’ll demonstrate each concept using selections from 50 popular songs. Artists include, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, U2, Dream Theater, Rush, Stevie Wonder, Deep Purple, Tom Petty, Beethoven, John Williams and much more
🔥 Secret To Get Huge Results
Just purchasing this course won't get you results. It's crucial to have the right mindset to progress as fast as possible. Use my BBC strategy to equip yourself with a growth mindset. First, BELIEVE you can do it. Next, BREAKDOWN the challenge into small steps and finally CELEBRATE your wins with a reward to encourage good habits. Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."
⭐️ How To Take This Course
No one gets better at guitar by sitting on the couch watching TV. The fastest way to achieve your goals is to be consistent with your routine. Aim to practice first thing in the morning for 20 minutes. Choose a quiet place free of distractions. Make sure each practice session includes the 4 core fundamentals of musicianship, Technique, Improvising, Theory and Songs. Allow time for the program to start showing results in your playing and remember to HAVE FUN muhahaha!

Thanks for everything I'll be coming to you if I ever decide to seek proper music and guitar teaching. I always wondered about your past and how you got into all of this so really awesome 👍😎
I wasn’t allowed to listen to secular music until I went to a friends house one day and heard Def Leppard and Guns N’ Roses, and I was hooked. I went to a Christian private school until eighth grade and that was around the time I picked up the guitar and started shredding.
That's awesome...I remember 80's metal like Def Leopard blowing my mind back in the day
I remember when Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper blew my mind, after then Def Leppard was just rock to me, for context, I'm 25
That sounds like a Jehovah's Witness household, the use of the word "secular".
If i ever make it big in music I'll cite you as one of the reasons, please keep making these long form videos as i think there's still many people who like watching it. I can literally watch you speak about anything and it's still entertaining.
Keep chasing your dreams brother! I’m honored you enjoy my content!
You shredding for the blue hairs at the family reunion is too good. I love how you share stuff like that with us mere mortals. \m/
Music theory has helped me so much
I feel you brother....theory is kinda like being able to read. Changes your life
@ShredmasterScott, my childhood and early guitar years were very similar to yours. In my youth, I had many teachers. I was forced to read music, and memorize chords and scales the Mel Bay way. But, I just didnt understand the connection between chords, scales, and modes. I decided I needed a really good instructor to help me prepare for the entrance exam to the Musician's Institute (MI) and was fortunate to receive private instruction from Paul Gilbert. He and I became friends (along with Bruce and all of Racer X) I learned alot from Paul. His way of explaining music theory opened the flood gates for me. My band used to open for Racer X quite a bit. Your videos have that same enthusiasm and love for music. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Wow, how cool to have PG as an instructor and friend!
I remember when i was around 12 my mom found a cassette tape of Slayer. She got after us for listening to it and said "I don't want the devil in this house!" and threw it in the trash. She took us out to go buy another cassette tape from another band and we chose Def Leppard's Pyromania. She didn't let us buy it because the cover looked like it was demonic? So we asked for the Whitesnake album and she was okay with it. 😂 This was in the era of Satanic Panic.
My god what you put those old folks thru...my goodness Scott
No hearing aids necessary!
Hell yeah this was such an informative trip. Thanks for sharing your Origin story here. That moment when you were able to hear the music and follow along with it, man all that hard work paid off.
I'll never forget that day. It all kinda clicked at once after years of hard work
Bro this felt so Heartfelt. HONEST i need to learn more from you
@2:08 love how you're Mocking jazz with that Bird...hehe, one of my dream guitars, and I don't even like B.C. Rich shapes, that and their other bird, the Eagle, are the only two exceptions. Thought this was always a cool idea I had: I'd love to get a Mockingbird in a quilted silverburst, that way it actually resembled mockingbird colors, the quilt would mimic their wing feathers :) maybe one day...I'm also lefty, I'd need a southpaw, with a Floyd Rose so she can fly properly :P
Scott ...
I've been following you for a couple of years now and seriously relate to where you're coming from.
Thank you so much for sharing your hard work - YOU ARE SERIOUSLY APPRECIATED BRO !!!
Keep up the outstanding work - you are helping so many people in so many ways.
Rock on Scott
~ Roadkill
Your counterpoint lessons are awesome!
I love everything about you Shred
thank you for the content master shred
Hell yeah man Im definitely signing up for this when I can. I just found your channel the other day and I really like your approach!
This is great! I have been wanting to know your journey since I saw your first video. No one else have I wanted to here their story - just you and it is because of you incredibly emotional application of the most sophisticated if music theory to rock 🎸 guitar!🎉❤it bro!
Lookin hot, playing that guitar, Shred❤🤘‼️
It's on my bucket list to buy your entire course. Im in.
Youre a very inspiring dude. After hearing your orgin story. I can confidentially say Im proud of you.
I want to be apart of your lifes work.
This is awesome thank you for blessing us with your knowledge master shred
Glad you enjoyed it Mike!
I definitely needed this motivation, thanks bro
It’s time to get inspired!
I love you Shred..! 💖\m/
Excellent video and content here, Scott. It’s been a real treat watching you manifest your skills over the years and see the hard work paying off. Your followers speak for itself! Cheers!
-Chance
Thank you Chance, you made it in this video!
@@ShredmasterScott-Haha, yes, I saw the cameo! That would have been back in 2009, the “Disney and Drinking Party”… mostly successful and partly a disaster, a true time and place! 😂
When I started listening to metal you know what my parents told me? Nothing. Because they grew up on rock and 80's metal music. Thanks to them for that!
Thank you for showing us and sharing us all that insightful knowledge and exp Shred. Now, we know how you attained level 420 \m/ \m/
Im so ready to start studying to get past this intermediate stage and become a shredmaster....
Aounds like my life, fortunately my mom loved the blues and classic rock. I still remember her listing to KMET, KLOS, and tapes and LP's of classic rock bands. I got into Christian metal and rock bands but they didnt have the "fire" i was looking for, anyway i appreciate yor channel very much, and i absolutely love learning new music theory ideas. Please never stop Shred.
I went for BFA in music as well. I got really good at playing other peoples music from the sheet music, I got really good at taking music theory tests. The thing I did not get good at was understanding what the hell I was even playing from a theory perspective. I tried to minor in Jazz and all the Jazz teachers were not used to teaching jazz to people who knew barely anything about Jazz. It was all just memorization and regurgitating it back to them for the jazz lessons. It wasnt until I started applying theory I already knew and connecting it to the guitar that I started to be where I should have been from the start.
Absolutely! The application is key. Jazz professors can be tough sometimes for sure
This is a GREAT video man, I've been stuck for years. I'm an intermediate stuck guitar player 😅
It happens to all of us at some point.....terrible feeling. I actually use my own program to stay on track now haha
@@ShredmasterScott could you do a video analyzing Deron Miller (ex-cky) now 96BB? 😅
Chuck schuldiner and Deron Miller are my two main influences. Different genres. Killer riffs
I though my parents were uptight but the older I get the more I realize they werent so bad. My dad listening to Black Sabbath while working in the shed is where I got exposed to metal and guitar god worship. That was our version of church and I cant thank him enough.
Was just about to go buy it then realized something I need to wait for my check to come in. But I can play a guitar, bass, my dad played piano I play a little I'm not very good no songs on it just chords and improv if you gave me some recognized rhythm or easy song. I also bought a 10 hole harmonica and 24 hole tremolo the other day never played it before did some research and my roommate said it sounded like Bob Dylan was playing I just play a play list of my liked songs in C on Spotify or some C acoustic playlists it's just sooooooo hard to actually know how good you actually are when you really are self taught for the most part aside from my died but he passed when I was 18 so I didn't really care much about music until I got my life together in my 20s and I'm now 30 and dying to take it to the next level and meet people I joined bandmix but nobody else responds much.
Looking lean and mean my guy !!!
Thank you!
I want all people in music to buy these courses. All people in music should buy these courses because it is a straight shot down the musical path you want to go! Metallica would be better musicians if they saw this course.
I just bought myself the most metal guitar I could imagine, top secret, and the mods for it are top secret too, but I will want to play nothing but metal on it. It should be early next year.
The workout packages will get me there when I am able to purchase them.
BRO WHY DID YOU MOVE FROM SF TO LA!!?!?! I need a teacher here :( COME BACK :( :( :(
I like that stuff with old people forced to listen to metal music, that was really funny :) Do you provide remote courses as well? I mean via Zoom or Teams?
Yes! I have remote lessons on patreon. I used to shred at every family reunion muhahaha
No tougher crowd than a family reunion.
Shredding at an old age home - excellent.
No hearing aids required!
Whats the song at 6:12 ? It sounds siiiiiickkkkkk
I think you have to look at music school with a cost vs benefit analysis. Almost everyone I know with a music degree is not in the music business so in my opinion it's not necessary and a waste of time and money. Look at all the famous guitar players who don't have an education.
All traditional higher education is over priced these days. The school of SHRED is better and cheaper!
@@ShredmasterScott also...I majored in Bar Band at The Rock and Roll School of Hard Knocks...I flunked out due to drugs. 🤣
Ive been wanting to get this course but hesitant as im not sure if I HAVE to buy the guitar pro app to use this course?
You don't need guitar pro for to take this course. Guitar pro will make 10x your skills if you use it though. I run through my ultimate workouts everyday using guitar pro. It will change your life!
You definitely look like your dad. I'm in my mid-40s I still listen to my metal music and my wife says "why do you listen to that devil music "lol . No matter how old I get I will always listen.
Stay strong my brother muhahaha!
Well .... I'm 58 years old and still into SLAYER
ABSOFUKKINLOOTLY !!!!
metal gods never DIE!!@@MTRoadkill
Gotta love ya brother .... thanks for keeping it real😎@@ShredmasterScott
what a great life and video 🤣 who would have thought there is a sister.
I have two sisters!
@@ShredmasterScott are they twisted 😉
Would learning some basic piano technique be useful? Seems a lot of the great guitarists learn composition skills on the piano and then transcribe the ideas to guitar.
Absolutely, piano lessons were mandatory for music majors at my school. It’s definitely easier to work out ideas on piano !
but the question is:
are you happy?
i bet u are more happy doing ur music thing.
then any random guy on street with a suite working his corporate job.
thank you, video's like this makes me stop doubting my self with my own musical path.
Yes Kasper! I could never be an office guy…
Every time I tried to learn theory I always stopped at learning the notes on the fretboard... I just can't.
nice
There are no mistakes, only happy accidents. Never give up, everyone. 😂❤
What music school(s) did you attend? Did you graduate?
Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles and yes I graduated!
Shred, I know you've said that Dave Mustaine understands music theory, but in my honest opinion, I don't think he does. At least, I don't think he knows music theory on a conscious level. From the age of 13 to the age of 18, I knew what Aeolian, Phrygian Dominant, Harmonic Minor etc, looked like on the fretboard, and I knew if I played those fretboard patterns I could get certain sounds. But I couldn't have told you what they were or what their purpose was. The only reason I knew those scales was just from playing along to tablature. I couldn't have told you back then what a flat 2 is, or a Dominant 7/flat 9 is. I learned music theory WAY later on. I think with Dave, it was sort of the same thing but I don't think he learned theory later on though.
You’re correct, Dave has no formal training in theory. However, writing hundreds of songs teaches you how music works. He just has a different way of thinking about keys, scales and chords etc
when he says all of his courses are on patreon, does he mean like EVERYTHING in this package is on patreon? are they just scattered about or in collections. I'd like to start at the beginning and continue in a linear fashion and keep they jumping around all over looking for parts to a minimum
got the patreon EVERYTHING is on there and in a nice organized fashion, gotta go shredd now
Yes! I have all my best courses in an organized directory posted at the top of my Patreon feed!

Seems a lot of us metal heads / metal guitarist have similar family situations 😂
Yeah it's crazy. You weren't allowed to listen to metal either?
@@ShredmasterScott they once supported me playing guitar as a kid, but once I got into metal they started hiding my guitar from me 🤣 I had to find it and put it back before they got back home to practice. Did that for like 2 years. Then I got a bit older and they didn’t care after that. But still it’s funny how a lot of us have these sort of stories haha
Jamming with music theory students is an absolute nightmare. Anything anyone plays has to have its own terminology and an explanation, completely sucking the fun right out of the session. I totally understand the value of music theory, but there is a point when all of the magic is lost
Sounds like you’ve been jamming with nerd lords! I hate that as well. Never call out what people are doing because it ruins the magic. Theory becomes a subconscious part of your instincts after a while
Glad I didnt went music schools to learn their cheese shit theory that doesn't satisfy me to learn but when I saw your videos for different scale and chords to learn for new environment I became good learner since I started self teaching guitar with tabs and tunings
Am I the only person who watches all of Shred’s vids who doesn’t play guitar and has no interest in playing guitar?! LOL
Cool story Shred! 🤘🏻
Wow that's crazy but cool! Why do you think you find my videos enjoyable if you don't grind axe?
@@ShredmasterScott Im a 52 year old chick in Newfoundland, Canada and I am still fascinated by great guitar players. Why? Not really sure but when I watch them its like magic to me. It just blows my mind.
Why you in particular?
1. I think you are a seriously BRILLIANT, INSIGHTFUL and a GIFTED musician. Ive learned so much just about music in general watching your vids. 2. I have rekindled my love affair with Dave and Megadeth over the past year after straying for 25 years. 3. You are f*cking HILARIOUS! All of your vids and shorts are SO entertaining! Half the time I dont even realize I have no clue what you are talking about!
So cheers man! Keep up the good work! 🤘🏻🎸♥️
It was a big mistake Nightwish didn't go with you, but they no longer have a original member left now.
My mums still thinks I’m possessed buy the devil from listening to slipknot on her phone
John Petrucci is your brother? :D
Steven Seagal plays guitar too!? Is there anything this man can’t do
Shred looks so much like his old man
So true
Who are your favourite guitar youtubers?
Bernth, Ola Englund, Stevie T, Rick Beato to name a few
Jazz is so exciting music that your student almost died
He’s the best! Such a natural talent
HI, i am from traditional Mormon Amisch family. We dont have electricity, but i want to play on electric guitar....what i have to do?
420 ! elooo Broo
Acoustic guitar bro
🤣@@ShredmasterScott
4/4 #
Holy shit...are you really Slim ? sorry this mean Shred?@@ShredmasterScott
Music theory should be like pizza with one hole in it
like the circle of 5ths
Yes it’s a very useful tool
Shred isn't playing in front of 30k ppl so the answer is - no it doesn't
Virtually no band plays in front of 30K.
I've played for much more than 30k on the stage of youtube muhahaha
What if you emotion less... ?? do ya still need music theory or, just rock out :)
If you struggle to express your emotions, you need theory even more!
Why is it that majority of people who became innovators did know how to read music? Maybe you couldn’t be a rock star bc you got caged in music theory and that made you limited to adhere to music theory. Perhaps if you just played by ear; you might have developed your own thing and come up with something that’s never been done before and become a star. Many people like McCarney, Eddie Van Halen etc believe their lack of knowledge about music theory was the catapult that made it possible for them to create innovative music.
Not being afraid to break the rules is a key aspect to innovation. All the great classical composers knew how to read and studied theory though. Bach Beethoven and Mozart. A lot of guitar players know theory, they just can't read music because electric guitar is a very recent invention and doesn't have much pedagogy developed yet. There are many educated guitar players who became successful though. Randy Rhoads, Kiko Loureiro, Yngwie Malmsteen etc
All metal legends were born in very conservative christian families.
Muhahahaha
fredrick noad green sleves lol i remeer that book , then the fat edtion came out solo guitar playing . the gospel as i like to call it
Not trying to be an a hole but the Jazz student looks like he needs a nap lol. Or extremely disinterested lol
He was just feeling the music!
