Picking up the guitar and shredding the fretboard might be one of the coolest things any guitarist can do.

But is it as easy as the greats like Eddie Van Halen, Marty Friedman, and Steve Vai make it seem?

In this lesson, we look at some secrets to shredding and how you can apply them to your skills on the electric guitar (or acoustic guitar) to make your playing stand out.

These fun guitar exercises are great for increasing your speed and maybe even your showmanship.

And don’t worry, you don’t need to be an expert or even an intermediate-level guitar player to enjoy this lesson.
