Sound Familiar?

âś“ You've been practicing alternate picking for months, but you keep hitting the same speed ceiling.

âś“ Every time you increase the metronome, your picking starts falling apart.

âś“ You know you're capable of playing faster, but you can't seem to break through on your own.

✓ You're not where you want to be yet—and you're wondering what you're missing.

If that sounds like you...

The Shred Guitar Challenge was designed for guitarists exactly like you.

 

The Shred Guitar Challenge

 

Don't Stay Stuck At The Same Tempo For YEARS

 

Most rock and metal guitarists hit a speed ceiling.

You practice.

You grind.

You push harder.

You lower the metronome.

Build it back up.

Hit the exact same wall.

Every.

Single.

Time.

But eventually your picking falls apart.

Your hands lose sync.

And you get stuck at the same tempo for months — sometimes years.

The frustrating part?

More practice usually doesn’t fix it.

Because the real issue isn’t effort.

It’s how you practice.

Unlock The Formula For High Speed Shred

 

When Dave joined the challenge, he believed he simply lacked talent.

This is what he posted in the community before we started:

"I think the biggest thing holding me back is my lack of talent to be honest."

His starting speed: 90 BPM

By the end of the challenge, he reached:

130 BPM

What changed?

Not his talent.

His practice structure.

What Other Guitarists Are Saying

Frank

"I have been looking for a tutorial that finally help me improve my tremolo picking and in matter of minutes I improved more than in the last 3 months, thank you man!!"

Dave

"Zak's a great teacher, very knowledgeable and patient. The Shred Guitar Challenge is definitely an effective method of increasing alternate picking speed. The entire program is a clear, structured system, plus the direct feedback and community access are invaluable. You are able to ask questions and share progress in real-time in the live classes or via the Shred Lab Community where you can upload videos for feedback. This makes the entire experience both supportive and highly effective. I highly recommend this challenge to anyone serious about improving their speed and technique."

Tyler

"I am an intermediate guitarist.  I've always struggled putting myself in structured environments to get over plateaus in certain areas of my playing.  The shred challenge is exactly what I needed.  Not only did it increase my picking speed by about 24 bpm in one week, but it also provided me with structure that has since turned into habits.  Zak breaks things down simple to help build a strong foundation.  I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to increase their shredability."

Mike

"Zak's skill goes far beyond his ability to shred accurately. He's a solid communicator with the knowledge to back it up. He has a desire to help fellow guitarists and musicians! He follows through with support when others won't, and I appreciate that!"
