The Ultimate Classical SHRED WORKOUT (Patreon)

I'm genuinely curious patrons....do you guys like classical music at all?
My dad used to blast classical music through the house at 666 decibels all day and I started to hate it. Mozart has some excessively happy stuff that was lame to a young metalhead
When I went to college, my professors made me go to the library and listen to 20th century music like Stravinsky and Holst. This stuff seemed way more METAL to me than Mozart
Over time I started to appreciate Mozart and other classical composers more...
In this video you can watch a SHRED BATTLE between Alexi Laiho and Mari Samuelsen. Most people know Alexi Laiho from the metal band Children Of Bodom but few knew he was into classical music as well
Vivaldi's "SUMMER" from the Four Seasons is the selection for the shred battle. It's a spirited and aggressive piece about violent summer storms.
There's a great passage to practice at the beginning of the piece if you want to improve your picking technique
Start slow with the metronome and work your way up to speed. If you have guitar pro, you can play along with the music and gradually increase the tempo
I also included the Andalusian Cadence progression and the Harmonic Minor Scale to complete your classical knowledge
Let me know how it goes and post your feedback and struggles below muhahah
