Welcome to this exclusive teaser lesson from brand new advanced guitar course by guitar wizard Sam Bell!
I've been lucky enough to get to know Sam well through my work at Waterbear Music College in Brighton. Sam is among the most well respected players and teachers in the modern rock scene. I'm thrilled to have Sam on board teaching some advanced lead guitar courses exclusively for Andy Guitar AAA members.
As an introduction to what Sam can do - here's a video from Sams Youtube channel where he has a 15 minute jam with Paul Gilbert himself!
The course is an introduction to shred guitar and goes from pentatonic rock legato patterns to full on Neo-classical shred sequences!
Let me show you lesson 1 to give you an idea of what to expect from this amazing course.
Sam Bell Intro To Shred - Lesson 1
In this lesson of this course we're looking at an E minor pentatonic run with ascending hammer-ons. Using the exercises and speed drills we can build up technique to allow us to play at higher tempos. It's important to focus on accuracy and timing over speed - once you've got these down the speed will come.

See below for the interactive TAB synced to video this exercise. Use this to help you master this lick and build up your speed. Useful features of the interactive TAB player include:
- Slow down the lick to see how it's played
- Loop a section to focus on that part before moving on to the next section
- Activate the 'fretboard visualisation', which shows which note is being played as well as which shapes are being used, all in real time
- See the TAB brought to life as the player syncs to the video in real time!
