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

Can She Outshred Alexi Laiho!? Vivaldi’s Summer

Can She Outshred Alexi Laiho!? In this video we'll be watching a SHRED competition between Children Of Bodom Mastermind Alexi Laiho and Violin super shredder, Mari Samuelsen. The piece we'll use to compare their chops is Antonio Vivaldi’s Summer, the Presto Movement. Antonio Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, from which this selection is drawn, is one of the greatest classical masterworks of all time. It brings expressive quality to each of the 4 seasons by simulating their sound. Thunder and lightning, running creeks, birds chirping, hunting in the forrest and more. It's great for working on your guitar chops and developing speed as well. Alexi is one of the greatest metal guitarists of all time but few knew he had a deep interest in classical music.

Definitely. I was raised as a Lutheran and sang in church choirs as a kid and later on I was in a capella in high school. It was about the only thing I enjoyed in church. All those classical motifs.

Love classical music, also really enjoy musicals. I've been learning a lot listening to both genres.
