How To Avoid Messing Up Fast Guitar Solos & Shred Like A Pro

Have you ever learned a song that you love, but dread playing it because the solo is too fast and too hard to play?

You learn the riffs, play them endlessly, and lock them in tight.  You might even spend as much time learning the guitar solo.  But as you're cruising through the first half of the song, the nerves start setting in.  The closer that solo comes, the faster your heart starts to race, and you start to hold your breath. All you can think about is that the crazy shred fest is coming up, and all you can do is hope you don’t butcher it.  

And of course, what almost always ends up happening?  

You flop.

Your hands fumble.

Your pick hits the wrong string.

You miss entire licks.

The whole solo gets away from you.

And you feel ashamed and defeated.

Unfortunately, this happens to far too many guitarists, and it’s something I’ve struggled a lot with myself.

The good news is that, like everything else, this can be trained.

But if you don’t approach your approach to practice in a way that minimizes your room for error, Murphy’s Law will hit you hard. 

“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”

Today I’m going to show you exactly what you need to do to make playing through fast guitar solos as easy as sitting in a restaurant.
