10 LEVELS OF METAL GUITAR SOLOS! | Easy To Hard 

Okay so about four months ago I got into your channel on youtube. Holy shit bro I'm now on level 6 just cos your regular videos fucking motivate the hell outta me to keep going. I can't sweep for shit tho and hence I'm actually considering going for your patreon. Keep up the good work mate its simply amazing to have people like you.

I AM IN LEVEL 4. LOL BIG FAN OF YOURS.... MY DAD WATCHES YOUR LESSONS

@@syamantakchakraborty2833 Thanks so much for sharing that! I'm very happy to hear about your progress and that I could help a bit on your journey so far :)

SORRY LEVEL 9 GUITARISTS SKIPPING LEVEL 5, 6 AND 8

at best lvl 1 learning basic blues right now bc i just switched from bass like 2 month ago

Thanks so much, that means a lot to me 🙂🙏🤘

You both are my favourite guitar player on RU-vid

100% agree

About to make the same comment!

Agreed.

💯 My dude! If you can sweep, you can shred on all strings. But if you can shred on all strings, sweeping is next level. A lot of “shredders” aren’t super great at sweeping. Not that there’s anything wrong with that of course. 🤘

For me sweep picking is easy and alternate picking is difficult specifically when you have to move around the freds. This is all because I started learning sweep picking before learning properly alternate picking( i used to downstroke everything) and I saw alot of songs with sweep picking solos and fills so I practice it everyday very slow till I got up to normal tempo

The feeling is mutual 🖖

Total RuneScape reference. Love it.

level 3, not bad

This guy is definitely maxed and two tick skilling

lmfao he went straight from rune scim to ags 1tick gmaul, smh

I am inspired and proud to read that. It is sick hard to be self taught and become a shredder in any way. I am on the way with you, I will get there 👊

Stick with it brother!

Ya I didn’t agree with the order overall.

I don't I don't think the number of strings you sweep really makes it more difficult, more the transition from one sweep to the next is really where it gets tricky, that or putting sweeps in funny places on the guitar

Depends on the speed. After about a year of playing I could do 5 string sweeps, but pretty slowly and managed to incorporate them into a song. 3 years later and I can now play them at a decent speed but for sure not John Petrucci or Rusty Cooley level fast

@@eliasaltman4439 my dude, a slow sweep isn't really a sweep, it's just an arpeggio voiced on single strings, if it's slow you can play unevenly from string to string as long as the tempo is right, the difficulty in a basic sweep is making a smooth motion with the right hand and having the left hand precisely in sync, done properly, a sweep should remove your "speed limit" so you should be able to go just as fast as your heroes on a single sweep; the spot where it really gets tricky though is changing from sweep arpeggio 1 to sweep arpeggio 2, most sweeps are triplets or quintuplets, and transitioning without a pause means reworking the pattern mid sweep and staying in the proper time; try using a d major/minor shape three string sweep pattern and sweeping up every arpeggio in a major scale without stopping the sweep and staying in proper time, it requires a much higher level of dexterity than a single five string, six string or even seven string sweep

Thank you so much for that, Arno! It was definitely challenging to get these later takes correctly :)

I’d have a wooden spoon😂😂

I'd would have been born under a different sign; so what would that be?

I used to be a shredder like you, but then I get an arrow in the knee...

and no videos to prove it. what a numpty!

@@grgwashnton23 tfq read the whole comment...

@Zafafafafaf i think you tagged the wrong dude

@Zafafafafaf ahh i see

👏🏼

Universal Mind - Liquid Tension Experiment 😬😬😬💀

Very grateful for the chance to record in this new place now sometimes, glad you like it! :)

Lmao what

😂

Blues basically birthed metal. Looking at Zeppelin and early Judas

Vamos a ver

Pensé que subías videos de musica, seas mamón

aqui é BR porra!!

Hahahaha

Tinha que ser brasileiro né hahahahah

Thank you so much for the kind words! Dimebag was such an amazing and extremely unique player, I'm honored by that!

*dimebag on steroids.

There is Only 1 Dime - RIP Brother

I felt that

That's some interesting input Shane, thanks for sharing that! The way I approached this video was thinking about my personal journey and how I developed so far, hence the different levels and the structure of the video. But you are definitely right about the technique aspect, it is also very challenging for me to perform the earlier levels with that focus on clean execution/rhythm/... so I absolutely get the point!

yeah you can do tapping and even using different strings at slower speeds using hammer ons pull offs, slides without the need of alternate picking

LVL 12: Solo from Nothing else matters

I have been playing for about 8 plus years and can't even play level 1 properly. Man, a punch to my stomach lol

sad shit when you listen to a lot of prog + tech death and it tries to come out in your own playing/writing but you lack the skill and the dedication to git gud enough to pull it off ah well. I'm having fun with doom and black metal. don't need a lot of technical skill for them genres; just need the vibes and tones.
