Mastery begins here
I first heard the furious sounds of now-legendary Swedish guitarist when I was in high school. There was a fire and logic to his playing that immediately resonated with 14-year-old me.
But also, there was a lot of mystery about what he was playing and how he was playing it.
As a self-taught guitarist living fairly isolated on acreage, a decade before the internet and 20 years before social media, there were no reliable and readily available resources for learning this stuff.
And as it turned out, a lot of tab and lesson books I found a few years later made a lot of assumptions about this style of playing. The educators of their time did the best they could, but they were simply off the mark many times.
To this day, I still see the effects of neoclassical shredders in the making using pick strokes and patterns that don't adhere to the systems of the player we all know and love.
I began developing my own insights and information on how the speedy Swede was doing what he did, a process that - to this day - reveals new nuggets of information the further I dig.
In the 90s, I bought Japan-only lesson videos and magazines, slowed down albums and video tapes, and practiced with intensity and an obsession to break down the walls between where I was and where I wanted to be. As someone for whom guitar playing and fast picking didn't necessarily feel very natural, I used ambition and hard work to make up for any shortcomings.
When I had the opportunity to study at The Australian Institute of Music, fellow students (some as a compliment and others as a dig) gave me the nickname Malmsteen. Teachers like Dieter Kleemann praised my technique and marveled at how little effort I seemed to display with my picking hand.
Since those days, I've always dreamt of creating a library of awesome instructional videos so that I could share my breakthroughs and successes with anyone keen to get the same results - without as many forehead/brickwall moments as I experienced.
I don't believe you need to be "a natural" to do what I do... just a keen interest, a good work ethic, and the right method to get you there and map out the journey.
I've done a lot of this work over decades so that it doesn't take you anywhere near as long to get the results I have.
Authenticity and Attention to Detail
In the decades since hearing those ground-breaking albums that inspired me, I've formulated a wealth of information about the links between music and mechanics, the stylistic elements of neoclassical shred guitar, and the finer details of performing this music with authenticity and attention to detail.
As the creator of the original The Yng Way video course, the writer of the chart-topping Neoclassical Speed Strategies for Guitar book, and the first-call columnist for Guitar Techniques magazine to write Scandinavian shred-related articles, I believe I have what it takes to be your guide through this fascinating and rewarding area of guitar study.
I'm thrilled to have you here and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together for your playing. Let's Shred!
Introducing the Viking Shred Guitar Suite
This video course started out as reboot of my previous video course and book, but ended up being so much more.
The platform here has allowed me to add so much depth, detail and discussion to all facets of playing in the style of our favorite Nordic noodler, with 24 modules set out for the course - each module containing anywhere up to 30 lessons within.
I'm still building the course to completion, but I'm so proud of the results so far that I want to invite you to be part of the process.
By enrolling now, you not only get a head start on the material I've made live already, but also get a say in how I continue to present the material. You might really love one of the four camera angles I use and want more of that, or want to get the jump on my personal feedback by submitting your playing video for review.
Best of all, I'm able to offer my foundation students a very special price for believing in me enough to jump in early.
