The Definitive Method for Mastering Neoclassical Shred Guitar.
From Frustrated to Flawless: How to Fire Off Clean, Musical Shred Runs
Neoclassical shred guitar - what can I say? Those ferocious speed picking lines, the classical figures, the glorious arpeggios, all delivered with fire, precision and purpose that can make you hang on every note. The minute I first heard Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force album, I was hooked. And you probably were too.
But have you ever sat down with tabs or videos of your favorite shred guitar heroes, only to find yourselfâŚ
Stuck?
- Your fingers feel sluggish, heavy.
- Your picking hand fumbles when you try to speed up.
- Tired advice like "just practice" and "use a metronome"Â hasn't helped.Â
-
You start wondering if you'll ever be able to play this.
Most guitarists hit this wall at some point. The first thing I want to tell you is, it's not your fault! Achieving that level of mastery isn't easy - especially on your own.
The truth is that this Swedish shred guitar style isnât impossible- but it does demand the right insights and some effective practice methods. Without those, itâs easy to waste years spinning your wheels. We all know that feeling!Â
That's precisely why I built the definitive resource for learning, practicing, and truly mastering the neoclassical style.

Experience Matters
Hi, I'm Chris Brooks, author of 18 chart-topping guitar method books, including Neoclassical Speed Strategies, the book that helped tens of thousands of guitarists level-up & break through technique barriers.
You might also have seen my articles in Guitar World or Guitar Techniques, where I've been a trusted columnist for expertise in technique and in the Yngwie approach.
Viking Shred Guitar Suite⢠is my Magnum Opus. Decades of playing and teaching experience, distilled.Â
Hours upon hours of lessons, delivered in steps that can be absorbed at your own pace, from the building blocks of core techniques through to advanced applications.
It's the video 360-degree masterclass that I wished I could have studied forty years ago!
How Viking Shred Guitar Suite Works
VSGS is a meticulously planned, linear learning experience designed for meaningful progress. 23 key modules, covering everything from Picking, Mechanics, and Theory to advanced Speed Runs, Arpeggios, Pedal Tones and much more. (See FAQ below for full modules summary)
Each module opens up into a series of structured, manageable lessons, starting with a core concept, then providing the vocabulary, and finally the precise details needed for speed and fluidity.
Take my popular Three-String Arpeggios module. It runs over two hours and includes 12 lesson levels and 13 practice sessions. We begin with the fundamental mechanics, introduce various arpeggio forms, then build towards seamless connections over progressions, sweep-picking units of fours and sixes, and musical etudes with custom backing tracks.
A highlight for many students is the Guided Practice Session concept. Here, we actively practice elements of technique and tempo-train them with custom backing tracks, ensuring you apply what you learn in real-world scenarios. This is where many of my students experience their biggest breakthroughs. Then, on to the next module.
Articulate with Feel
Shredding is fun of course but, inside, you'll also 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. I've even just added a cool Based in Blues module to really get your "groove" licks on!
Why This Course Is for You
Youâve poured countless hours into your guitar playing. That dedication deserves real, tangible results - not some two-hour "course" that barely scratches the surface.
It's time you had access to how this music is really played and the systems behind it all. Credible, comprehensive resources in this style are so hard to find. Many can play it, few can teach it, and even fewer have dedicated decades to truly understanding the nuances of guitar education in this specific style.
It's been 40 years since legendary albums like Rising Force and Marching Out, yet the concepts behind this music are still being taught with outdated, incomplete information, or cloaked in secrecy and vagueness.
Weâre going to dive deep into how techniques like alternate picking, economy picking, and sweep picking all work together. This isn't just about learning isolated licks - itâs about understanding a complete system and forging a formidable fusion of techniques.
The Viking Shred Guitar Suite gives you the exact pathway to unlock those âaha!â moments and set you on a clear track for continuous improvement, all for the price of a pro private lesson.
