Lately I've proudly seen shred making its way back into music, and younger kids want to learn guitar and want to shred like the greats. However, when they learn, somehow they'll end up in the hands of an idiot! These kids are getting "riffs/licks" taught to them instead of generic chromatic exercises that teach them how to alternate pick and then they will practice horribly in hopes that playing smoke on the watter and crazy train intros 100 times; with improper technique will some how help them. It's hopeless, and then someone like me says "ok, I'll try to do something about it" gets denied by whoever goes through the tab lessons and notices a few words with incorrect spelling and denies a great lesson while lessons like "play like____" and "two string sweep arpeggios" get let accepted and show up on the sights lesson pages. I am going to try and submit a guitar lesson in power tab form, the band name will be "lesson" and the song name is going to be "swept away" please try this and realize that all I want to do on this web sight is advance in guitar and help other guitarist advance CORRECTLY! thank you for reading this and please support me in this cause (I'm newer to this sight)
dude i agree, but i think they should be left to do it their way, in my opinion, if these kids hear a little shred an decide they want to play it and go buy a guitar, then they gonna learn it for the wrong reasons and won't want to take the time to learn properly, they want a quick fix, but there isn't one, and i reckon if they start learning propely at least 75% of them will stop playing,
simply, i think they should be left and when they brag about their shredding abilities and all thier friends ask to hear and all they can play is some quick licks with mega distortion then their friends will put them in there place
but its up to you, so if you try to help them then good luck.
