A better way to master Neoclassical Shred Guitar, based on decades of experience.
Go from slow and frustrated to firing 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 are too slow or feel heavy.
-
Your picking sounds sloppy or won't speed up.
-
The âmagicâ of shred guitar feels out of reach.
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 system and the right practice methods. Without those, itâs easy to waste years spinning your wheels. We all know that feeling!
That's precisely why Iâve built the ultimate resource for learning, practicing, and truly mastering the neoclassical style.

"I built this course to help YOU experience all the lightbulb moments and breakthroughs you deserve, with all the content I wished was available when I was studying!" - Chris Brooks
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 have seen my articles in Guitar World or Guitar Techniques as a trusted columnist in this style.
Viking Shred Guitar Suite is my life's work. Decades of experience, distilled. 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 masterclass that I wished I could have studied years ago!
Why there was a need for a course like this
After first hearing legendary albums like Rising Force and Marching Out, my journey took years of slowly putting together exactly how techniques like alternate picking, economy picking, and sweep picking came together to forge not just an incredible skillset, but an entire system, with precise ways in which each element contributed to a formidable fusion of techniques.
Credible, comprehensive resources in this style are so hard to find. Many can play it, fewer can teach it, and even fewer have dedicated years to truly understanding the nuances of guitar education in this specific style.
That's why I made it my personal mission to create lesson content that is accurate, well-researched, and verifiable.Â
How Viking Shred Guitar Suite Works
This isn't just a random collection of videos; it's a meticulously planned, linear learning experience designed for meaningful progress. The course is broken down into 23 hours of content across 23 key modules, covering everything from Picking, Mechanics, and Theory to advanced Speed Runs, Arpeggios, Pedal Tones and much more.
Each module is structured into manageable lessons, starting with a core concept, then providing the vocabulary, and finally the precise details needed for speed and fluidity.
For example, my popular Three-String Arpeggios module alone runs over two hours and includes 12 lesson levels and 13 guided practice sessions. We begin with the fundamental mechanics, introduce various arpeggio forms, and then build towards seamless connections over progressions, sweep-picking units of fours and sixes, and musical etudes with realistic 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.
Why This Course Is For You
Youâve poured countless hours into your guitar playing. That dedication deserves real, tangible results.
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.
Students consistently report quantum leaps in their technique - many even say they âshould have paid more for this!â
Inside, I cover everything: from foundational pick grip and motion mechanics to advanced theory and even a few secrets I know are missing from other lesson material.
Iâm committed to your success.
Iâm tired of seeing guitarists waste time and money on weak informationâor get lost in endless âYouTube Roulette.â
Thatâs why Iâve made this entire comprehensive course more affordable than a single pro private lessonâŚ
âŚwhile still lighting the fuse for explosive gains and total domination over your technique.
âĄď¸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, and efficiency.
âĄď¸Practice with Results
With Guided Practice sessions at every step, you'll develop and accelerate every key concept in the course, trading licks with me over custom backing tracks, then doing it on your own with tab files and backing tracks provided.
âĄď¸Understand Theory
From the building blocks of scales and arpeggios through to harmonic and compositional concepts that draw from the vocabulary of the Great Composers, you'll understand the ideas behind the music and how to use them!
âĄď¸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!
