Become a shred lord overnight (Patreon)

My first guitar was a Yamaha from Walmart. My parents scored it as a Christmas present when I was 14 (in the year 1870). It came in one of those starter kit packages with an amp, picks and a strap

After learning the pentatonic scale I figured I was ready to shred massive leads. So I joined my first band with some guys from church. My strategy was simple. Wait for my first opportunity to solo, then blow everyone’s mind with searing shred. In my mind, the dudes in the group would bow down and worship me like Jesus on Sunday

🛑 THE PROBLEM

There was one little problem I failed to see tho. I had no f&king idea how to solo! In fact, my soloing sucked so bad, I got my ass kicked out of the band!

Demoralized and discouraged, I devised another plan. I thought surely it was my guitar that was holding me back. So I worked a summer job and saved up enough money for an Ibanez universe 7 string axe. Now my solos would be epic and incredible!

FALSE!!!

🛑 THE SOLUTION

I finally agreed to stop lying to myself and learn to be a lead lord the right way. Once I started studying theory and technique, I realized There’s a lot more to soloing than just playing random notes in the pentatonic scale. The biggest unlock for me was learning the circle of 5ths and key signatures. Knowledge of keys made me aware of which notes sounded good and which ones to avoid. In my New course below, I teach a song for each of the 12 musical keys. Play along as I use my secret horizontal fretboard trick. This approach is extremely powerful because you’re not relying on rehashed patterns but actually learning the key note by note. As I said, being a good soloist is multifaceted….but the single biggest thing you can do to is grasp the concept of keys. I promise this will change your life overnight!!
