    @lt.branwulfram4794 Před 7 lety +355

    When they're slowed down, they sound like lullabies for some reason.

    • @carlbaumeister3439
      @carlbaumeister3439 Před 6 lety +65

      Well, neoclassical, as its name implies, is really classically based. And a lot of lullabies are like simple classical tunes.

      @bobravenscraft5376 Před 5 lety +13

      Because Neo is melodic as fk when slowed down. That's why I do it. Melody. With pentatonic YOU have to create melodies. These are built in. Kinda lol rock on. Jason Becker forever

    The first lick you played is stuck in my head for over a week now i keep repeating it in my brain over and over again, its so good

  • @zarasamo
    @zarasamo Před 7 lety +86

    By far the best one i've ever seen, the licks actually sounded appealing and musical, just beautiful! I've seen too many videos like this where they just alt. pick the scales super fast and throw in some minor & dimished arpeggios.

    • @AlfredPotterGuitar
      @AlfredPotterGuitar  Před 7 lety +20

      Thank you for noticing that, I put a lot of thought and care into these =)

    @holdwholetruthholy1511 Před 8 lety +1

    Great video. I've seen a lot of guitarists but your accuracy, during the complex, high-speed, Guitar God licks as well as the slower drawn out interludes, was totally impressive. You're an inspiration, Brother. Thanks

  • @00eddie0
    @00eddie0 Před 4 lety +2

    Exactly what I needed, something to build speed with that sounds musical and can stand to be heard over and over again. Been using these over the standard chromatic exercises and already gone up 20 bpm

  • @AlfredPotterGuitar
    @AlfredPotterGuitar  Před 8 lety +25

    +HeldCaptiveByGoogle I really appreciate your comment, man. I strive to deliver high quality licks with slowed down versions and tabs in concise videos which are as short as I can make them. I want people to instantly get their hands on some exciting new material and get shredding! (ps for some reason I couldn't directly reply to your comment. This is honestly driving me nuts, it happens so often)

    There are very few instructional videos by certain Guitarists that I love and work best for me. I stumbled across this one( 2 or 3 days ago ? ) And I've been rehearsing this ALOT !!! I don't know what it is but other Neo-Classical shredders,talk too much explaining things and I get bored or others talk and Shred but hard to follow,,, THIS Video however,..you play the riffs up to speed,then play it really slow AND CLEAN,,,,and the tab definitely helps !!!You are in my Top 3,..Thank you for the awesome Lessons !!!

    • @AlfredPotterGuitar
      @AlfredPotterGuitar  Před 5 lety

  • @stevejohnston8543
    @stevejohnston8543 Před 6 lety +1

    Very nice. The way the licks are presented at speed and then slowly with tab is very efficient and allows for teaching several licks in a short time. Love me some neo classical shred. Grew up when Malmsteen came on the scene so playing fast and having good technique has always been important (although getting sweeps the way I want them is taking forever). Also you've got to have some delay for shred :)

    • @AlfredPotterGuitar
      @AlfredPotterGuitar  Před 6 lety

      Thanks for that. I produce my videos in a very deliberate way - short, with tab, little/no talking. All learning!
