Before you even start practicing the exercises, make sure your left hand is positioned correctly, your thumb is placed correctly on the fretboard and your thumb is right behind your middle finger.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second most important thing to keep in mind is keeping your right hand or your picking hand relaxed, even when you are playing fast, keeping your picking hand relaxed is the key.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The picking hand gets stiff very quickly especially at the high speed, that is what you need to work upon, keeping it relaxed and not letting it get stiff and tense.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After fixing your hand position, the next most important point is to practice with the metronome.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playing slowly is the key to playing fast.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know, you might think that it is a trick, but it is NOT!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we learn sprinting we need to learn how to walk and shredding guitar is similar to that.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While practising any exercise, any lick or a phrase, start slowly and focus on accuracy and precision and gradually increase the tempo by 5-10 BPM.

It produces a smooth gliding sound, which sounds like something out of this world.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweep picking is often used while playing arpeggios at high speed, you can combine major or minor scale arpeggios with sweep picking motion to make your guitar solos spicier.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweep picking offers guitarists extensive versatility, allowing for the creation of numerous note patterns. It can be applied to any musical idea, including arpeggios, extending beyond basic note combinations to encompass patterns for as many chords as desired.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out this song by Jason Becker to hear what Sweep picking sounds like- <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0lR1tt24mo4&amp;list=RD0lR1tt24mo4&amp;start_radio=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason Becker- Altitudes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1986d8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a1986d8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f8eb37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f8eb37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>How to practise shredding:<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shredding for beginners<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not very easy but with the right practice routine and proper guidance, it can be made easier.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s look into some important things that you need to keep in mind while you practice shredding.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p><p><b>Speed: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with the most important part, the speed.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t wanna go full throttle as soon as you pick up the guitar.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to warm up your hands before you jump into your solos.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with stretching your fingers, then move on to chromatic exercises, go up and down the fretboard with slow speed and focusing on each note.<br \/>After you are done with chromatic exercises, move on to playing scales, major scales, minor scales or any other modes that you are familiar with, 3 notes per string scales are also a very good warm up for shredders.<br \/><br \/><b>Sync: <\/b>It is important that your left and right hand are in sync with each other. You should make sure that your picking hand is not going faster than the fretting hand and vice versa.<br \/><br \/>Pay attention to each and every note, it should be precise and clean.<br \/><br \/><br \/><b>Metronome: <\/b>Find out a comfortable speed for you, let\u2019s say 90 BPM.<br \/>Turn your metronome even slower than that, in this case let\u2019s say 70 BPM. The better you practice at slow speeds, the better you will play at fast speeds.<br \/>Gradually increase the tempo to the desired speed.<br \/>And remember, REPETITION is the key when it comes to shredding for beginners.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc4af02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bc4af02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out the table below for guidance with the speed and practice duration that you can include in your sessions.<\/span><\/p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"4\"><p><b>Speed progression table<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><b>Week<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>Target BPM<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>Focus technique<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>Practice Duration<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1-2<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60-70<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic alternate<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20 mins\/day<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3-4<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70-85<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">String crossing<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25 mins\/day<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5-6<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">85-100<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scale patterns<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30 mins\/day<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7-8<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100-120<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mixed techniques<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35 mins\/day<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4079bde e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4079bde\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61d16f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61d16f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Other techniques: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have mastered the above mentioned techniques, it is time to spice up your playing by adding Hammer Ons, Pull Offs, Slides, Bending and more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you start adding these techniques, you will notice your solos are automatically sounding much better.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Things to avoid: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common challenge that beginners face is fatigue and tensing up the hands.
