The Total Shred Guitarist is an exciting journey through the world of heavy metal guitar playing. Author and master shredder German Schauss provides a step-by-step approach to shred guitar that makes it easy to understand, proving that it's not rocket science. You just need some basic tools, some basic theory, and a lot of practice! Through simple chromatic patterns and warm-up exercises, you'll develop finger independence, conditioning, and speed. Learn patterns and sequences in a variety of scales, while developing technical fluency in alternate picking, tapping, multi-finger tapping, sweep picking, string skipping, and more. This book is for guitarists of all genres who are ready to break through the limitations of their technique and start shredding like they have always imagined. The included CD features backing tracks so you can hone your soloing skills and develop your own unique sound and style. The DVD brings the book alive and features German Schauss demonstrating lessons and techniques.

Fretboard Efficiency and Knowledge
The next step, after learning all the short musical phrases
and being able to play them in a relaxed manner, is to move
them across the strings and eventually cover the entire
fretboard. This can be done in two ways: chromatically
or diatonically.
When you play the patterns chromatically, you simply take
the pattern and move it up or down one fret at a time,
maintaining the same shape. In order to practice all possible
shapes chromatically, you should consider practicing the
different variations of interval structure using the same
pattern. This means if you have an ascending three-note
phrase, the intervals could be:
Whole step–whole step
Whole step–half step
Half step–whole step
The example below illustrates the chromatic three-note
ascending pattern played on the G string. Make sure to
move it to the other strings and apply the other interval
patterns mentioned above.
Hexatonic Scales
The hexatonic scale is a great tool for getting around the fretboard. You are probably wondering what hexatonic
scales are and how you can use them. Hexatonics are sixnote scales. The common major scale (a seven-note scale) is called a heptatonic scale. These names are derived from the Greek words for six (hexa) and seven (septa). We have already looked at another Greek-named scale: the pentatonic scale (penta means five). In the next section, we will transform the major scale modes into hexatonics.
Hexatonic Modes
If you use only the first six notes of each of your seven scale positions, or modes, you can easily create a hexatonic mode. Just repeat those six notes one octave higher on the D and G strings, and then one octave higher again on the B and E strings. The result is a hexatonic mode spanning three octaves. These modes are great for playing fast ascending or descending runs. The following diagrams show the seven hexatonic modes of C Major.
