"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!"
- Chris Brooks
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 break through their guitar technique barriers and level-up.
Bringing my focus and drive to the video medium, I've created Viking Shred Guitar Suite to deliver the best information available on this style of guitar. Decades of experience, distilled. Hours upon hours of lessons, delivered in steps that can be absorbed at your own pace.
With 38 years of playing and 30+ years teaching, I've crafted a video masterclass that cuts through the noise and gets you to where you want be, faster.
Why did I build this powerhouse resourse?
I've spent many years going down the rabbit hole, piecing together strategies and solutions that were hiding in plain sight for decades, so I know exactly how frustrating it can be to learn all this stuff on your own!
Guitar instruction in this style has been plagued by half-truths, incorrect transcriptions and guesswork for years, so I've made it a personal mission to tip the scales in favor of accurate, well-researched and verifiable lesson content that even a lot of the other teachers out there are coming to me for.
I want to make this content available to players around the world, from aspiring shredders in the making, to experienced players interested in all the finer details of technique, vocabulary and performance in the Swedish neoclassical style.
Why would you buy this course over others?
With twenty hours of 4K video content ready right now, and updates being delivered every few weeks, this ambitious project is a learning hub to be reckoned with when it comes to content, methodology, and value.
I cover everything from holding the pick 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.
Besides the decades of work that have gone into playing this material, I've spent an entire year building the content you're about to see when you enroll in Viking Shred Guitar Suite. One of the most common compliments I get from new members seeing my lessons for the first time is "I should have paid you more for this!". Another common one is how the Guided Practice sessions in VSGS have helped transform their technique.
So, let's do it! Not only will I tell you everything I know on this subject, 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.
Studying this course will help you:
Pick Like A Pro
From holding the pick and placing your hands through to advanced concepts for alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking and picking/legato combinations, you'll maximize your picking skills, speed, & efficiency.
Practice with Results
With guided practice sessions for every module, you'll develop and accelerate every key concept in the course, trading off with me, then doing it on your own with the provided backing tracks, PDF tabs and Guitar Pro files.
Understand Theory
From the building blocks of scales and arpeggios, through to harmonic and compositional concepts that draw on the vocabulary of the Great Composers, you'll understand the ideas behind the music and how to use them!
Articulate with Feel
You won't just shred in this course. You'll learn how to shape and express your ideas with bending, vibrato, trills, whammy bar phrasing, hammer-on and pull-off techniques, delay-pedal sequencing and more.
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.
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!
Unbeatable Value
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? $300?
Those prices are realistically in the ballpark, to sit on Skype for an hour and play through webcam audio and maybe get a few tabs by email after the lesson!
Compare that now to the value of Viking Shred Guitar Suite - priced from a mind-blowing $6.65 per hour of content, with all the tabs.
All of the know-how, experience, hard work and time that has gone into building Viking Shred Guitar Suite is available to you right now, and yours to watch forever!
