Summary of This Method
Designed for guitarists seeking useful and musical virtuosity, this method from the Serious Shred series is aimed at those who want to combine high-level technique with genuine language. The goal is clear: to develop fast, precise, and expressive playing while understanding how to build phrases that "sound."
Throughout the chapters, German Schauss details advanced lessons focused on the pillars of shred playing: mastery of the vibrato bar (whammy bar), optimization of speed picking, clean and consistent sweeping sequences, controlled tapping, and articulation of lines within a musical context. The exercises target both endurance and cleanliness, with particular attention to right-hand/left-hand synchronization and clarity of attacks.
The musical aspect is not neglected: the method explores modal interchange to vary harmonic colors, as well as exotic scales to break out of usual patterns. You thus learn to connect technique and intention, transforming an internally heard idea into playable phrases with coherent phrasing and true direction.
To anchor these concepts, specific exercises strengthen your sense of timing (groove, rhythmic stability) and your overall instrument control. The included DVD complements the "paper" work with real-condition demonstrations: ideal for observing posture, movements, and the details that make the difference between approximate speed and professional precision.
