How to Shred Guitar (for non-shredders)

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.

Great, clear instructional video. I've been playing since 1963 ! everything from rock, jazz, and my own electric guitar concerto with symphony orchestras. But this introduced me to a whole new experience and technique. Much appreciated, Mathew.

[@guitarbyemily]

I really love the way you teach this! Very easy to follow and great tips! Thank you!

[@mathew_dale]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@anuwatjaioebim7874]

Thanks

[@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!

[@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

[@RobTackettCovers]

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

[@iainMacDonald-fg2ew]

[@mathew_dale]

Igor Paspalj. You're welcome.

[@Ultrabox64]

You can really lose your head when you shred

[@davidyoung1962]

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
