I built this course because I want you to experience all the lightbulb moments and breakthroughs you deserve, with all the content I wish was available when I was studying!

The course based on decades of experience, observation and research

I'm Chris Brooks, author of Neoclassical Speed Strategies for Guitar, the chart-topping shred guitar method book that has helped tens of thousands of players, including many other teachers out there.

I've created Viking Shred Guitar Suite to offer you the best information available on playing this style of guitar, and the clearest path to mastering it - based on my 38 years of playing experience and 30+ years of teaching. To call this a deep-dive is putting it lightly!

I've spent so many years going down the rabbit hole, piecing together strategies and solutions that were hiding in plain sight for decades. So I know how frustrating it can be to learn all this stuff on your own!

Guitar instruction in this player's style has been plagued by half-truths, incorrect transcriptions and guesswork for years, and I'm happy to say that's over now with the release of Viking Shred Guitar Suite.

With sixteen hours of 4K video content ready right now, and updates being delivered every few weeks, this ambitious project is a learning resource to be reckoned with!

I cover everything from holding the pick like the Nordic Noodler to building powerful alternate and economy picking chops, technique practice, motion mechanics and picking orientation, playing with a light touch and an efficient picking hand, the theory behind the music, getting the Viking tone, and a few secrets I KNOW are missing from a lot of other lesson material.

Come study with me and I'll even check out your playing and make you a personal response video. I'm here to help you make the progress you've wanted to make for years, so let's do it!

  • The stylings and secrets of a legendary Swedish guitarist

My story

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. I've dissected countless videos, studied Japan-only books and videos, even sat next to you-know-who in dressing rooms and asked what I could in a short time.

Since starting this journey, I've 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!

The Value of Experience

Let's say you wanted a private guitar lesson with a bestselling author, technique specialist, magazine columnist, recording artist and someone who can clearly play the stuff you want to play...

What would you expect to pay for an hour with this expert - $150? $200? Those prices are realistically in the ballpark. In fact, it's pretty easy to find higher prices than those.

Say, instead, you wanted to use that $150 to take FIVE lessons with the neighborhood teacher or the Skype teacher working his way up. $30 per hour seems like great value, right?

Compare that now to the price of Viking Shred Guitar Suite.

All of know-how, experience, hard work and time that has gone into building Viking Shred Guitar Suite is available to you right now starting at less than the price of the above scenarios, currently with 12-hours of meticulously assembled classes and yours to watch forever!
