The Breakthrough Method for Emulating a Neoclassical Shred Guitar Icon

The moment I heard Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force, I was hooked. You likely were, too. The blazing speed, classical figures, and glorious arpeggios delivered with a precision that makes you hang on every note.

But when you sit down to play, do you find yourself stuck?

  • Fingers feel sluggish and heavy.

  • The picking hand fumbles as the tempo rises.

  • Tired advice like "just use a metronome" hasn't helped.

Most players hit this wall because they lack the mechanical secrets behind that effortless Yngwie-inspired rush through "impossible" blurs of notes. You start wondering if you’ll ever play like that—but the truth is, the style isn’t impossible. It just requires the right insights.

Whether you’ve played for five years or forty, there are logical steps you can take right now to master neoclassical shred. This isn’t a "hack"—it’s a specialized system to bring out the best in your hands, from perfect fretting to powerful picking.

I’ve spent decades perfecting the strategies to master this legendary style. It's time to stop spinning your wheels, break down the walls, and finally put the fury at your fingertips.

What is a Playing Review?

When you're breaking new ground and learning concepts you've never explored, direct feedback can be the difference between wondering and knowing you're on the right track!

It's simple: you record a video of your fretting and picking hands and submit it. I personally watch your footage, analyze your hand mechanics, picking angles, or tension, and send you a custom video response showing you exactly what to tweak to optimize your results.

The Deluxe edition includes one review. The Premium edition includes a review each month for six months.

I'm looking forward to mentoring you!
