Shred Guitar Lessons In Six Weeks With Andy James Lick Library

[justplayforever]

Thanks man but I'll need the details as to where I buy it or what site to do the orders on. Please give me the details and instructions I need to purchase this. Cheers

[licklibrary]

@justplayforever You can follow the link in the description of this video to place an order, or if you check your YouTube Email we will send you a direct link the 6 weeks dvd course. Hope it helps.

[CurtisAlfeld]

I personally think shredding is an overused technique. There are far too many people doing it. I just wanna learn how to play fast, I don't wanna know how to play a million notes a minute. It doesn't sound as good as playing with emotion. Emotion>speed.

[justplayforever]

Hey dude, do you send to Australia? Please mail me details and I will buy. Cheers

[licklibrary]

@justplayforever Hi yes, we post out to Australia - we send all over the world! Enjoy your DVD!

[justplayforever]

Man your awesome.

[Mrkamikazeify]

This guy is so badass!!

[dirtyfreaks5]

Hi, Do you send the DVD's also to Poland?

[licklibrary]

@dirtyfreaks5 Hi, yes we send to Poland!

[MMODism]

Ok question for andy james or anyone who can awnser what is that thing on your guitar st the head?

[licklibrary]

@MMODism Hi, its a hair band, we use them here for recording purposes it just dampensunwanted string noise out.

[SomeoneStoleMyPants]

This video set is the best!!!!! i have all 6 weeks and its been 1 day and im already on week two!! and im only 12! these are way better than private lessons, so easy to follow! thank you so much lick library!

[bfire96]

he makes it look easy

[VJVswan]

Quick Question: Do I need a 24 fret guitar to play these lessons, or can I just use my 22?

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Dear licklibrary

Is it andy James that answers these questions?

[licklibrary]

@Aaarrrggghhification Hi no its the licklibrary team! If you have a question, please feel free to ask and will do our best to get them answered!

[PBANDSNOW]

I have a question. I can play at a reasonable speed (very Zeppelin-esque 70’s style fast). Realistically, how much will I improve in the 6 weeks? Will I be able to shred decently, and this video will give me things to practice?

[licklibrary]

@PBANDSNOW Hi will send you a message via your youtube email!

[lifeisgudd]

i got ur 6 weeks shredding lesson

its really gr88

thanks for the vdos

but i hv a doubt

do we hv to use the same finger pattern as shown in the lessons??

for example in the 1st week's 3 notes per string pentatonic sequences u r using index, middle n pinky to play the notes on lower E string n like that

but i find it difficult to stretch my index n middle finger to such extent

can i use my own finger pattern or is it necessary to use the same finger pattern as urs??

plss reply :)

[licklibrary]

@lifeisgudd If you feel comfortable using your own finger pattern then do so, stretching your fingers will help improve your playing when it comes to playing other patterns, but of course if its not possible and your getting the same results with other fingers - then use what your comfortable with. At the end if the day its all about practice and you will get better. Hope that helps!

[buda329]

serious question! how come you never use your pinky when you play guitar?

[licklibrary]

@buda329 Andy James finds using his ring finger stronger to use when it comes to bends etc as opposed to using his pinky.

[shiftingears123]

hey for anyone that wants to play fast. A SECRET IS: use higher guage strings. these dont vibrate as much. little trick i learned from the master paul gilbert :)

[TheChrissenft]

FUCK! i bent the strings too far and they snapped and it hurt my hand, ow :(

[licklibrary]

@thebigcheese664 We would recommend changing your strings especially if there beginning to rust!! once your new strings are worn in a little it shouldn't hurt, maybe try a lighter gauge of strings, you may find it easier to bend them.

[xInsidious]

Lmao I got my start by bullshitting Slayer solos. They're basically anything random, so I suggest that's how you start. Then learn the shapes and scales, then learn picking basics.

Worked like a charm.

[themousemaster]

Holy crap bro, how the hell do i do that XD

[Mrbegals]

i would love to get this but 150 us dollars is a lot!

[ColinBanks96]

I've been playing for a year and a half and I'm making good progress I think but no matter how much I try I can't get used to alternate picking.

Will this help me greatly?

Can I learn to shred without alternate picking?

Please reply.

[Bigpighunter123]

@ColinBanks96 You could, but you would have to have an almost innate ability for it, there isn't many guitar players who can do it, but one of the top of my head Is James Hetfield from Metallica

[philm00r]

@ColinBanks96 Alternate picking is quite important to speed. If you practice hard enough over time you will get it. It really is relative to how much time you can put into practicing it. Once you do get it down it will become something you do without really thinking about too much anymore. Just keep working ... it will come.

[metalfreak4677]

I quit fuck it. 

[Davidalejo666]

What guitar amp do you use?

[PurelyDisguised]

Good fukn shit

[MarcusFern93]

Hi do you need a specific guitar to be able to shred well, I use a PRS CE and Vintage V100. I am looking into getting a guitar that I can play this kind of music (metal) such as an ESP Ltd, Jackson or Ibanez but Im not sure yet and my budget is pretty low, any tips? Thanks

[Servant1003]

What's that black band on his guitar's hand.? Is that really necessary?

[HeavyMetalBlaster]

@Servant1003

It's for stopping string noise

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

DUDE - CAN YOU PLAY SHREDDED WHEAT BY KELLOGS ?

[qweeperoo]

if you wanna play this good : get the course, practice this shit a loooooot (first slow) then practice other songs and stuff u love while also playing this dvd, you will shred... rock on \m/

[Sic3444]

Hey. I been playing guitar for awhile now. I practice songs & stuff but I've always been into the fast paced stuff & wanna learn & master it. How do I get better? Is it just practice or what? Please let me know. Thanx. Could u do a cover of A Little Piece of HEave n Andy James? Come on man. I seen u do Bat Country...The solo anyway. It'd mean alot.

[karimgratte]

we can not learn shred in six weeks, the shred is the technique and the technique takes a long time and works, but you can make this DVD in six months, it's reasonable

[slashmasta2]

thanks for the help man now i can sweep and shred thanks a lot again :D

[Chudawg11]

hey im looking for a dvd that will help me improve me skill fast, ive never had any lessons and im of medium skill and i can play riffs from seek and destroy, symphony of destruction, and raining blood, and other songs of that skill level could u plz point me to a dvd that will help me?

[4everpker]

is this dvd good for people that played guitar for about a year

[AxisOfHumanity]

doesnt use his pinky even once in the beginning of the video! what the fuck man!!! lol WHAT THE FUCK!

[TheWhatdog]

can we do this without pick ?

[roger201288]

Sounds like ace combat 4

[robertcl777]

The DVD's are GREAT. literally gets me sweating and i improved so much.

[istikis]

lesson or demostration?

[iceburg008]

Ummmmm.....HOW CAN YOU DO ALL THAT!?!?

[SomeoneStoleMyPants]

@iceburg008 PRACTICE!

[metalnut2142]

i bought the 6 week dvds and it works. i'm on week 3 and im already shredding it up and down the neck.

[dann3th3manni3]

Hello. I was wondering if somebody could check out my vids and judge whether or not I'd be ready for this. I'm really interested. Just don't know whether or not I should start elsewhere. I consider my to be somewhere between intermediate and advanced.

[Arata414]

does this work on those who have little or no experience in guitar?

[licklibrary]

@Arata414 Hi there, we wouldnt advise someone who has little or no experience to start with this DVD. If you are someone with little or no experience we would suggest taking a look at our New Beginners range, will send you a link to your youtube inbox! We wouldnt want to discourage you from the Shred In 6 Weeks Series we just want to make sure you get a good grounding prior to jumping in the deep end! Check your inbox in 5!

[oalquaiti]

@licklibrary Sorry if this annoys you but can you send the link to me too?

[AkisMetalPower]

@licklibrary could you please send me the same link ? thank you

[swankyswigs21]

@Arata414 - lmao.

[TehRespawner]

@Arata414 lol are u kidding you need you cant do this without or a little guitar experience, it takes years of training..

[metalheadgod73]

Hi L.L i'm buying a guitar very soon and I wanted to know what you thought of the Esp-Ltd MH1000 withe the floyd rose

[RodgerVanSteen]

When will lick library do something focusing on death metal?

[Dgray1392]

Hi lick library should i wait to start this dvd after i learn the techniques or will this help not only give you licks it will show you how to do the techniques and give you exercises for it

[licklibrary]

@Dgray1392 Hi there thanks for getting in touch - this isnt a beginner DVD series it is best to know some of the techniques, as this series is what your after though we would recommend maybe taking a look at just week 1 - see how you get on with it, if its something you find your struggling with then we would recommend maybe looking at some Technique DVD's Danny Gill teaches some Sweep Picking,Alternate Picking and String Skipping DVD's if you'd like the links to the DVDs will send them to you.

[sarthakmessi11]

Wich GUitar is that??? and wat is that wich u hav put on the 4 th fret of ur guita??? plzz telL!!!

[Emaniac69]

To be able to shred like him, means you are an expert. But to be able to shred like other artists? Andy James is a GOD!!

[wrathseaker]

what's the mother fuckin name of this track that he's playin ... i really wanna download it plz help

[Dragonforce55valley]

Those strings are all thick and flexible.

[mrtheroan]

Hey there LL..

I have 1 through 6 but I'm not sure how I should be going through everything.

1) What are the BPM's for the backing tracks? Is that the goal I should reaching to?

2) Should I be moving on 1 week at a time? I've been on week 1 for for 4 weeks and I can really only get it to around 155 BPM's. When should I move on?

Is there a way I can get tabs for the lessons sent privately?

[licklibrary]

@mrtheroan Hi there,the idea of the 6weeks is to progress by each dvd - now wk 1 may take you as you say 4 wks to master all the techniques, if it takes you 6 weeks for each week dvd - this doesnt matter - The goal is to teach you all the techniques needed to Shred on the guitar,progress now to week 2 & then when returning to week 1 you may find yourself stronger and ultimately faster - its about nailing the finger work and then the speed will eventually come.Unfortunately there are no tabs.

[TylerDurdenMr]

@mrtheroan are you stupid?

[tokman20]

yeah....i will never reach this level :'(

[Islandsoundzz]

Hi, I have a question. Would it be possible for Lick Library to do a DVD that focuses on 80s style Rock/Metal/Glam rhythm and lead playing? such as in the style of Ratt, Giant, Winger, Def Leppard, Hardline (Double Eclipse Album) and more etc? 80s rhythm and lead seem to be the pinnacle of guitar playing and it would be great to have a DVD that focuses on this type of playing.

[licklibrary]

@Islandsoundzz Hi there thanks for the suggestion, we do already have a Def Leppard dvd called Jam With Def Leppard - have you checked that out yet? If not we will send you the link to it.

[Islandsoundzz]

@licklibrary Thanks, However I would still like to request a DVD that touches on the playing style of RATT and maybe a bit of Neal Schon as well!

[FullMaster360]

you're wasting your pinky finger

[pleximanic1]

Wow that chick can play.

[jeninerockerss]

AWESOME



[redhotkido]

thanks Andy James =)

[archdeath99]

I remember the first time i was playing guitar while looking at kirk hammet, and thought to myself, I wanna play like that! And I am getting better and better literally everyday. Find an inspiration!

[aitsBRAD]

Hey Licklibrary is this the right dvd for someone playing for almost 3 years and can play zak wylde type stuff but is comepletly lost at long scale patterns?

[licklibrary]

@aitsBRAD Hi, if you class yourself as an Intermediate to Advanced player than yes, its not really how long you've been playing. Why not try the first DVD (Week 1) and see from there how you get on.

[nunofrg]

this 6 weeks program is great and i definitely recommend to everyone because i really developed myself on playing thanks to it

[jeninerockerss]

hey teach me

[lpgamer2]

everytime i do something with my pinky finger, especially sweeps, it always does an accidental pull off and it doesnt sound clean at all, is there any way i can stop doing this? its drivin me nuts, thank you :)

[konst1989]

i have this dvd series, and it´s not like you can play nearly as fast as andy is doing in this vid here after 6 weeks, but it´s an exellent introduction and it is really helping you to learn the foundation

i really can recommend this dvd

[necron33]

guys you just got to believe yourself, if you say you cant, then you cant! if you say you can, you can! its easy as that!

Dont lose hope, everybody has a chance to be like that in the video!

adjust your brain!

[kgp227]

@necron33 damn straight!!

[mdognirvana]

I am curious if this will help me, i'll follow the lessons!

[jsuffers]

@mrcookiejacker if you're serious about finding the perfect guitar, the best I can say is try as many as you can and use what's comfortable. I've been playing 20 years and my 2 main guitars are a Les Paul standard and a mid line LTD Viper. It all depends on your style, some people like different necks, bridges, body styles etc. I've known folks that play on upgraded low ends cuz they like how they play, too many different variables to just state a guitar and say go get it, hope that helps a bit

[VypyrVai]

Are there any options to buy or plans to release the full series as a box set? I'd love to get this series of DVD's but it'd cost me over £100 to buy these individually

[dc08bfmv]

does this dvd say everthing step by step n explain everthing abt shredding really really good cuz i really wanna shred better n i need a lot of help i only been playin for 2 yrs

[licklibrary]

@dc08bfmv Hi there have you only just started playing shred? or been playing shred for two years and want to move onto the next level?

[dc08bfmv]

@licklibrary no im jst starting 2 shred n i really wanna get better

[generockify]

@licklibrary Hey ive just started playing shred... will this vid help?

[licklibrary]

@generockify Hi there, will send you a message via your youtube page. Thanks for getting in touch.

[yes0684]

@dc08bfmv same for me

[MrCookieJacker]

i try yo find the perfect guitar for me... someone?... help? xD

[A7Xguitarplayer0272]

not kiss of dawn i mean bleed well

[DescentFromHeaven]

Oh yeah... Because beginners can realllly play that fast huh?

-1

[5TheKingOfPop5]

@DescentFromHeaven Theese dvds have been made to teach you how to shred. a beginner obviously can't shred you need to know some techniques like hammer ons n' pull offs, bending and stuff like that so start shredding

[TTyuyTT]

Andy rule!

[fenrirloupblanc]

Geez, just how many hours a week are you supposed to practice to reach that level??

In 12 years I'll never reach that sort of accuracy and speed with the little time I've got to practice :(

[ViniciusMPepino]

Andy, please, PLEASE use your pinky!!!

[guitarralaraja]

ohh maybe my question has nothing to do with the dvd itself.. ive always wandered hot this guys that play with active pick ups like emg or sm blackout can get that "shreddy" sound for the neck position? i really don't know and im not talking about his playing or somethin like that, but it is so strange, because that sound is pretty much as passivepickup sound.

[BLUEWIZARD40]

does anyone know what ESP guitar he has?

[BLUEWIZARD40]

has anyone tried this video and see if it worked?

[barrel456]

which dvd would you say is best for learning the sweeping technique?

[halamalahai]

hey, on which DVD can I find the lick at 2:40, its pretty awesome :D

[Gege42]

*plays ultimately fast shredding*

"okay, the new dvd....." (with straight face)

legend!

[4everMetal123]

Hi andy, I play good solos like Kirk Hammett but I want to play like John Petrucci. I'm a pretty good guitarist in the style of Kirk. Can I buy the 6th week without buy the 3-4 and 5th weeks. (sorry for my bad english)

[MrMarkKirkman]

Proper bit of playing!

[Baldwinr1992]

Does the hairband actually help while playing live? because i play live with my band alot and i always hear some strings ringing out because of the drums.

[perseusbeatkraken]

@licklibrary ok for instance when I get goin fast after about 2-3 84 note runs my fingers stiffen up and won't move as fast and they start to stumble on each other

[perseusbeatkraken]

Could I get those messages you guys just sent all of them sure would help me a lot you guys rock

[licklibrary]

@perseusbeatkraken Hi there if you could send us a message regarding what your after and will be able to help you out! Hope thats cool - Just send us a message via our inbox and will see it quicker!

[BlackZombie27]

lick library what would you guys recommend for increasing accuracy and speed

[licklibrary]

@BlackZombie27 Hi there, thanks for getting in touch, whilst all the dvds potentially will help with increasing your speed and accurancy, we have a dvd which focuses purely on getting your licks up to warp speed- its also taught by Andy James its called Ultimate Guitar Speed Soloing Techniques. Will send you the link to your inbox here on youtube so you can take a look. Hope it helps!

[otsugua12]

@licklibrary in what tuning do andy play these licks? and what string gauge he used in this vid?

[gokulives]

Andy James is SICK!

[4everMetal123]

awesome guitar player!

[kbstrat143]

hi andy nice guitar playing... i have problem similar with@SenoritaKackbratze could you send me message the same yousent her...i'm a serious guitarist and thank you in advanced....boyingsantoso@yaho­o.com

[licklibrary]

@kbstrat143 Hi Kbstrat143 will send an email to your youtube account - we dont send emails directly to private email addresses - Sorry. Will send one along soon.

[bakedbean1232]

I could watch you play for hours. Wait sorry, I meant to say I *have

[MrTal1988]

not bad shredding for a southern monkey.

[SenoritaKackbratze]

Hey Andy, very good! I'm a beginner, I'm playing guitar since 2 years now, but I still can't read & play after notes. Is that needed to understand your DVD and learn the lessons? Because I really have problems with my technique and playing fast!! And is it going to help me fast if I practice 1 to 2 hours a day?

[licklibrary]

@SenoritaKackbratze Hi there, will send you a message to your inbox. As our answer is too big for a comment! Give us 5mins!

[CraxPfeife]

@licklibrary Hi Guys I have the same question SenoritaKackBratze asked a week ago.I started 1 1/2 years ago and now im going for a metalcore band which expects me to play some crazy shredish solos.i have some experience in shredding techniques etc but im kinda limited with my knowledge/skills.basicly im looking for something that can help me getting into practicing routine and something to help me burst out of single position acending/descending runs etc. ... help in sight ??

[licklibrary]

@CraxPfeife Ok will send you a similar reply, help is in sight - will send an email to your youtube account with some links and advice. Hope it helps.

[dipsettt18]

k im 5 seconds away from saying fuck this....

[jeroen0011]

This is fast :o

[jsthere2watchvideos]

id love 2 see him and guthrie govan do a duet 2gether

[32spitzer]

Awesome!!!!!!!!

[zakkattack99]

shred in 6 weeks my fucking arse, andy is awesoem tho, btu seriously your talking years

[licklibrary]

@zakkattack99 Yeh the course is spread over 6 weeks, obviously you take as long as you need to perfect what is taught over those 6 weeks.

[ace41r]

@zakkattack99 He said he can lecture it in 6 week, its up to you how fast you can learn.

[FamGuitarist]

i have the 6 dvds and theyre really awesome!!! i really improved my playing and tnks very much to The master ANDY JAMES

[musmetallica]

wow....its the fucking riff in the backround im listening to. sick shit man

[dnsbram]

what pickups are that?

[jdh392]

if any1 out there has this tell me how good it is and if its improved you

[NEKROCLAUS]

whats the technique for the sound at 0:56?

[ibanezbloke]

@NEKROCLAUS Bend the E sting up a tone, and hit the b string too

[NEKROCLAUS]

@ibanezbloke thanks, i can use that

[MrShredtilldead]

@NEKROCLAUS You mean bending? Thats all he's doing, hes just hitting the high e and B strings together on that bend.

[wangzingee]

Andy James is a beast. especially for not using his pinky very much

[1998metalhead1]

can you do a john pettruci quick licks

[xoxoa7xfoREVer]

i hope its not expensive, because i REALLY want those dvds D:

[therockguitarist96]

sad guitarists (i think thats a generous term in this case) like John Mayer r rich and famous while people like these guys r pretty much unheard of

[8foot666]

Hey! I caught my first shred on camera. check it out!

[sootycowboy2]

has anyone actually got the dvds, r they eny good?

[bastageicehole]

@sootycowboy2 I have them they are great, Andy takes you through all the scales and sequences to go with an awesome backing track it really is the way forward.

[RedNeckEDU]

Are these DVD's available in the US format? NTSC?

[licklibrary]

@RedNeckEDU Hi there - yes these DVDs are available in NTSC Format - you can check them out by following the link in the description. Hope that helps?

[TerminusCOBHC]

Yeah, I definitely need to order this.

[BiologicalBreakOut]

Do you have to order these Dvd's online ? or can u buy them at a specific store.

[licklibrary]

@BiologicalBreakOut Hi there - there are some stores out there that stock our dvds - though if you wish to order online you can foloow the link through the description & we post globally!

[11shashankdbz]

hi andy!!what is the guitar that u r using???

[mightym7]

Hey Andy- You in the neck position here?

[DarkKnight896]

this guys is fucking incredible...

[Underoathlog1234]

Just curious if there's a reason for not using your pinky in places that it seems like you should. If it's just how you play then I understand but it seems like your videos could potentially lead to weak pinky's in your students.

[sonicthehedgehogxp]

So will this dvd feature speed exercise and alt picking exercise, scales lessons etc?

[licklibrary]

@sonicthehedgehogxp Hi there yeh over the course of the dvds you will learn pentatonic and blue scales in 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Position - natural minor scales in all those positions,tapping techniques,legato licks, arpeggios,pentatoincs & chromaticism,octave licks, combining postion sequences, and a range of licks in the styles of Zakk Wylde,Paul Gilbert, Dimebag,Steve Vai, Yngwie and John Petrucci.If your looking for speed techniques then will send you a link for a dvd dedicated to speed...

[anthonydorris]

man there is like 15 of these dvd i want to buy lol

[rowanaktin]

he barely uses his pinky.. why?

[joshperryshow]

It looks sped up.

no human hand moves that quickly.

even a skilled guitarist

[licklibrary]

@joshperryshow Andy James' hand does.

[showdownrocks]

@joshperryshow no human hand moves that quiickly? One word my friend............DIME
