Hello to all my Patrons, hope you're having a great time over the holidays! Of course there is no content break on here - I'm currently on vacation in Colombia but I pre-recorded and scheduled all lessons :) Hope the auto-posting works out.

In this video I show you my personal biggest secret of playing better, interesting and melodic shred guitar solos. I recorded a 'negative' example and an improved take and explain my approach in detail in the video.

Of course I transcribed everything, don't forget to download the files below! This time I also attached the backing track so you can try accenting the chord changes yourself. This is an extremely important exercise, hope you have some fun with it!

Biggest Secret To Playing Better Solos!

Today we check out the biggest secret to playing better solos - I recorded two takes for you that demonstrate different playing approaches concerning shred guitar solos. In take one I'm stuck in scale boxes for the B minor scale, in take two I'm choosing my notes carefully and accent the chord changes melodically. As you can hopefully hear there's a huge difference! My main goal with this lesson is showing you that shred solos and technical playing can still sound interesting and melodic for the listener.

Nice lesson on how to make a solo sound interesting. I'll try to incorporate some of these ideas into my own solos. I'm a little confused about your Take One gp5 and pdf though. It looks like an Am scale instead of a Bm scale. It looks like you were playing a Bm scale in the video though.

Thanks a lot for the feedback Scott, you have a great eye for details - I started writing this lesson in A minor and later changed it to B minor since we worked so much in A aeolian already - missed this detail in the first 'bad' example! If you want to practice this one (great alternate picking workout/practice) please move it up a whole tone or practice to an A minor YouTube jamtrack :) Thanks again for your great feedback, I'll implement it right away as soon as I'm home!
