Join Al Joseph as he delivers and guides you through 10 eye watering chops that use pro-level concepts to fluently fuse feel and shred.
Aimed at intermediate players who are looking for a “reach point” to improve or for advanced players wanting to tighten their game, this collection runs through a multitude of ideas. In the overviews, Al tells you what to play, how to play it.
Balancing melodic hooks with head turning shred is a skill that requires the ability to master techniques in context, which is what makes this collection of licks so powerful. As you work through them you’ll need to nail your bends, tapping, palm muting, alternate, hybrid and sweep picking, and really get to understand how to make the most of vibrato. The end result is epic phrases that have something to say throughout.
Included are 10 licks - played both fast and slow - 10 lick overviews, a long, short and extended backing track and full tab/notation.
Push yourself and your technique by learning 10 shred filled, melody packed phrases that combine some of Al’s biggest strengths so you can add them to your own repertoire.
All licks are written and designed to be played as normal on a 6 string guitar.
