• The "Plateaued" Shredder: You’ve got the basics down, but you’ve hit a "speed wall" that practice alone isn't fixing. You need the mechanical "missing links" to break through.

• The Self-Taught Technician: You’ve spent years piecing things together from YouTube and tabs, but you’re tired of the guesswork. You want a structured, pro-level system that works.

• The Aspiring Neoclassical Master: You love the "Swedish style" and want to command the fretboard with the same fire, precision, and fluidity as the greats.

• The Busy Player: You don’t have 8 hours a day to practice. You need a streamlined "Viking" roadmap that makes every minute of your practice time count.

Feedback is so important, so I offer my three ways of getting help along the way:

1. Personal Playing Review (FULL SHRED Edition)

Send up to 2 minutes of video showing your progress with some of the course material. I'll shoot a personal response letting you know what's working, and what will help you level-up from there.

2. Exclusive Community (FULL SHRED Edition)

Post videos or questions in the forum to get input from not only me, but other students of the course.

3. Open Comments 

The comments section of every lesson is open for you to ask questions along the way, or see what others have asked about too.

I use original etudes and drills to teach concepts, techniques, and strategies you'll be familiar with in many iconic songs.

You can watch all videos and study the lessons from the browser you're using right now or just about any device. Same goes for the tab PDFs, audio and backing track downloads.

A tool that might help your experience is Guitar Pro software, since I also include GP files. With this you'll be able to play along, edit, change keys or speeds of every tab.

For tones, you might enjoy trying Amplitube 5 Max since I've created some exclusive Viking tones for this platform. 

The reviews and aggregate ratings on this page are genuine feedback sourced from the Guitar 21 Google Business page and direct testimonials. Check out what Viking Shred has done for others, because it could well do the same for you!

Not exactly. YouTube is a great free tool for overview lessons, and I've used it plenty as well.

But YouTube is also the medium containing a lot of the errors that I correct in Viking Shred Guitar Suite. Guesswork and "basically right" is not part of the philosophy here.

Instead of grabbing one piece of the puzzle on one channel, another piece on a different channel, hoping that each one is correct as you go, I've structured everything you'll ever need to know on this subject in one place.

I've looked into this field with a microscope, analyzing pick stroke for pick stroke how it's done, so that you don't have to spend years figuring out or digging through YouTube search results to find what's already here.

My course is fully original and is not connected to nor affiliated with any artist. All examples and etudes are original compositions and not in breach of any artists' intellectual property rights.

As an independent creator and educator, I'm fully entitled to teach this information using original compositions and recordings to demonstrate and discuss musical concepts, explain mechanical approaches like picking technique, and reference public figures that are well known for their application of these devices.

You can then, of course, apply everything you learn here to playing the music you love and derive inspiration from, and I can put you on that path.

The course is created and presented entirely by me and is not contributed to, commissioned or endorsed by, or otherwise associated with any other guitarist.

I'm tuned to E flat for authenticity and the timbre than comes with tuning down a half step.

Examples are written as standard tuning pitch for ease of reading. It will just sound a semitone lower when you listen to me.

With the guitar pro files, changing the pitch back to standard tuning for your own practice is as easy as clicking the tuning fork and deselecting "-1" if you like.

I appreciate you owning the book or my video course from 10 years ago - they were a huge part of my journey as a teacher.

But what I've learned from working with so many players since then has completely transformed my approach.

Viking Shred isn't just a remake or an update; it's a complete system built on years of new insights and so much more to unpack than the speed strategies side of things.

It’s loaded with 20 times the information, including hours of video and practice sessions, making it a powerful progression from anything I’ve released before.
