Learn all 7 shapes of the harmonic minor scale and practice them all over the guitar. Then, create harmonic minor scale sequences. This is a great way to get harmonic minor scales under your fingers fluently.
Tip: don’t practice this harmonic minor stretch in only one key. Move it around to lower in pitch keys (where the frets are further apart).
What Is Guitar Shredding? All Shred Questions Answered!
The sooner you make the stretch feel easy, the easier it’ll feel to play the neoclassical shred guitar licks I show you in this article.
That’s why I tell all my guitar students (especially those who play neoclassical style and want to build guitar speed) to mute excess string noise using thumb muting.
Then slide the thumb up and down the strings as you play scales (and arpeggios) and work on building your guitar speed.

Question: “But Tom Hess, can’t I play neoclassical shred guitar licks just as well using palm muting? Do I have to use thumb muting to play in neoclassical style?”
Answer: You don’t have to use thumb muting… but thumb muting helps you build more guitar speed and makes your shred guitar licks sound a lot cleaner.
With thumb muting, your pick is at rest between strings. That means you can play more efficiently. And efficiency is key to playing fast neoclassical shred guitar licks.
Sweep Picking Taught By Shred Master Dan Mumm
Question: “But Tom Hess, if directional picking is the best technique for guitar speed, why do many neoclassical guitar players use strict alternate picking in their shred guitar licks?”
Most guitar players from the 1980s & 1990s (when neoclassical guitar playing was gaining momentum) and 2000’s did not have anyone to teach them directional picking.
So, they developed their guitar speed in spite of the inefficiencies of strict alternate picking… not because it is a superior technique. They had to work much harder (and longer) to play their shred guitar licks at fast speeds.

Then practice to close the gap between your 2-hand sync guitar speed threshold and your overall guitarspeed with these harmonic minor licks.
(This is a unique challenge for 2-hand synchronization). The better you can keep your hands in sync, the easier it becomes to stay in sync on all your other neoclassical licks.
Bonus guitar speed tip: alternate fretted notes with open strings. For example: alternate the notes of the E harmonic minor scale on the high E string with the open string, like this:
Guitar Shredding Tips And Tricks
The more you practice integration of techniques, the faster your guitar speed goes up. Best of all: this new guitar speed will now be usable in real-life guitar playing.
As a side benefit: you also get to practice creating shred guitar licks over your own. This is a much better way to build guitar speed than to always rely on someone else showing you shred guitar licks to play.
Test your sweep picking guitar speed by inserting tremolo picking inside each arpeggio. This not only creates awesome shred guitar licks, but also tells you right away if your guitar speed is clean or not.

Note: your guitar speed with ashred guitarlick using just one technique will always be much higher than yourguitar speed with shred guitar licks that combine several techniques. That's becasue the more guitar techniques you cram into a shred guitar lick, the harder it is to play (and the slower your guitar speed is with it).
Now you know how to build your neoclassical guitar chops, the next step is to transform the rest of your guitar playing (everything from your guitar technique, fretboard knowledge, creativity and music knowledge).

And if you do your best to practice what I teach you at least 30 minutes per day, you almost can’t fail to turn your guitar playing into something you feel really proud of.
I’ve been a self-taught guitar player for 3 and half years. And then I got offline lessons for a year… a year and a half. I grew very dissatisfied with those lessons.
Tom Hess’s goal-orientated approach has helped me more than any other guitar teacher that I had in the past, because I had never even heard of the term goals in relation to guitar playing. My offline teachers would never mention this phrase and it wouldn’t even occur to me that setting goals was something that I should be doing, because it would actually force me to try to achieve things. So that was a bit of culture shock, but I’ve really gained from that because I now have a very good idea of what to practice... and if I practice it, I’m going to achieve my goals. So Tom Hess’s goal-orientated approach has vastly… vastly improved my guitar playing.
Gg Tips: Shred Frenzy
“Before I took lessons with Tom Hess, I wanted to learn how to do some sweep picking and I also wanted to fill in a few gaps that I thought I might’ve had in my playing. And also I was feeling a little bit frustrated with not knowing where to take my playing. I didn’t really know how to get better. I felt like I reached a plateau, so that’s why I sought out Tom. ”
I’ve had a few other guitar teachers before I took lessons with Tom, and most of them weren’t very good. And after reading a few articles online that Tom had written, I could tell that this guy was going to be the teacher for me.
The biggest thing that I really like is the actual guitar lessons themselves. I’m finding that I’m learning new things that I never even considered every single time I get a lesson. Something new to apply to my playing each time. But of course, I really enjoy the forum as well, because thanks to the lessons with Tom, I’ve been able to meet people from all over the world who have similar experiences and similar goals, so that’s been really motivating as well.
Killer Guitar Lesson On How To Play Alternate Picking Technique
Before I took lessons with Tom I really didn’t like improvisation. I knew scales, and I knew kind of how they applied over chord progressions, but I just didn’t like it. Since taking lessons with Tom, some of the lessons are focused on that specific issue, and now I feel really comfortable about getting up in front of people and playing over any type of… in any key any backing track, I feel pretty comfortable doing that.
Tom actually knows what my goals are and gives me specific lessons that will help me achieve those goals. Other teachers that I’ve had before just do it their way… it’s either their way or the highway. And they don’t really care about what I wanted to do, and they didn’t really listen, and they didn’t really look into what I was doing or what my interests were and didn’t really play into that.
It’s really motivating to get to know people who are also students of Tom. It’s really good to have positive-minded musicians around even if I’m just talking to them online, or if I meet them in person, either way it’s still really motivating.
Sweep Picking And Shred Guitar Essentials
The forum has helped me because I am able to ask any music theory related questions or technique questions and I get those answered very very quickly. And I also like to participate in discussions and help share my knowledge as well with other people, which when I do that I feel that it’s reinforcing the things that I know as well, so it helps with my music theory knowledge when I share as well.
“If it wasn't for Tom's strategies, I would never have been able to pursue a full career in music. I always wanted to play on a very high level, but I always doubted my abilities, because if you don't have a teacher who constantly reinforces this positive mindset...you need a teacher who is telling you that you are able to do that and at the same time giving you the tools to actually accomplish those high levels. ”
Breakthrough Guitar Lessons are excellent, because Tom always brings something fresh, every time Tom blows your mind with a new lesson. You can never learn this stuff on your own, it's impossible, because you don't know what you don't know.
