Synopsis

The creative guide to rock and shred metal guitar soloing with Chris Zoupa

We all know that YouTube is awash with demonstrations of flashy rock/shred licks, but there is little information on how to improvise in this genre and, more importantly, how to build your vocabulary and find your voice as a player.

• Do you want a simple method that will teach you to improvise without getting bogged down in theory you don’t need?
• Do you want a creative rock / shred metal guide that will boost your vocabulary with hundreds of new licks?

One of the biggest obstacles facing aspiring rock and shred metal players is gaining enough knowledge of theory and chord construction to improvise confidently over any set of changes. It’s also hard to know where to begin. 

In Shred Guitar Improvisation, legendary player and guitar teacher Chris Zoupa gives you the essential knowledge you need to cover a huge variety of playing situations. You’ll also build your shred guitar vocabulary with hundreds of creative licks!
