Here is a fairly simple chord progression and common metal guitar strumming pattern. Although it may be simple and straightforward, getting this up to and beyond 180 BPM will prove to be quite challenging for most people. How fast can YOU get this?

The count for this rhythm is 1en_2en_3en_4en_

Allan W. 8-6-20 #1 (Polyrhythm AND Polymeter?!)

11/22/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
This rhythm/strumming pattern is VERY difficult for most people. This was given to a student when he was nearing the end of his 16th note strumming work.

Not only is there a 4:3 polyrhythm being played (four chords evenly spaced across three beats), but there's also a polymeter going on. The strumming pattern begins again after three beats (in the first three bars). This basically fits the strumming pattern in a 3/4 time signature, while each bar is in a 4/4 time signature. This makes things EXTRA confusing!

The fourth bar completely breaks away from everything presented in the first three bars for added challenge.

Triplet Scale Run in A Minor #1

11/15/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Here's a challenging yet fun scale run/lick to add to your shred guitar tool kit!

All of the odd number bars play two groups of sixes, and all of the even number bars have you run up or down notes one after the next. 

Most likely, the even numbers bars will prove to be the most challenging.

If you'd like practice advice on how to push something like this to the max, there's a free eBook I put out called the Metronome Method, and the principles taught are how I got this lick up to 300 bpm, as shown at the start of the video in this post.

This was given to a student to help them push your reverse gallop strumming endurance.

The goal was to see how many repetitions he could do at 160 bpm.

This progression uses a half-whole diminished scale to make it easier to remember, plus it just sounds great for metal!

The count for this is 1en_2en_3en_4en_

3 Octave A Minor Tapping Lick

11/10/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
This finger-tapping lick/riff plays the same pattern in three octaves. Technically, you COULD say it covers four octaves because the A note is played in four octaves, but the full pattern is only played in three octaves.

This lick is a fun one for me to play, and feels great for crazy amounts of speed!
If you'd like practice advice on how to push something like this to the max, there's a free eBook I put out called the Metronome Method, and the principles taught are how I got this lick up to 300 bpm, as shown at the start of the video in this post.

You can think of this as sort of a grab bag of various things given to students throughout the years.


Every collection contains Guitar Pro files. Yes, you will need to be able to view Guitar Pro 7 files to use this collection. I'm not affiliated with Guitar Pro, and I receive no money from sales from them. That being said, I highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about learning and/or writing their own guitar music.
