From May 2007

 


30/May/07

--- New Lick ---

A new lick from Niels Vejlyt today, as well as a number of minor changes and updates to a couple of other lessons and artist pages. The artist pages will be finished and the new performance section should be online within the week!

 



28/May/07

--- Lessons Pages Updated ---

As the site has now grown into the top ranked shred site on the internet, by quite some way, we've changed the lessons pages to thank the artists submitting exclusive lessons and give less benefits for those submitting non-exclusive lessons. We are also raising the bar for acceptable lessons so we will rarely add any more licks, and require high quality video lessons from now on.

A new interview has also been added featuring Bob Katsionis of Firewind!

 



24/May/07

--- New User Lesson ---

Here is a new lick from Britt Burch, whose latest CD is now available on guitar9. It is now possible to buy Shred Academy e-Vouchers to redeem at the shop - the perfect gift for any guitarist!

Shred Academy is taking a couple of days holiday and will be back on Sunday with more lessons.

 


21/May/07

--- 2 New Lessons Added ---

A new lesson from Zack Uidl is now online, as well as Richard Lundmark's first free lesson.

 


19/May/07

--- New Exclusive Lessons ---

Richard Lundmark's free lesson has been finished and will be online soon, as soon as it has been validated - it will be hosted on a new site Revver as it exceeds YouTube's 10-minute limit.

In the mean time, there is a new lesson from Fred Pihl today. You can also expect on average one lesson per day every day this week!

 


17/May/07

--- New Exclusive Lesson Added ---

A new lesson has been added today from Joe Cefalu, taking his 'Hopscotch' method in different direction, to play in any key in any position. Joe's first lesson, while scooping a few awards for best lesson last year, is also currently ranked #22 most favourite video on YouTube for the 'how to' catagory!

More video lessons will be added tomorrow, including a great lesson from richard lundmark. Some serious work has gone into this!

 


15/May/07

--- Software Added to Shop ---

Some useful tools have been added to the shop - a speed trainer, fretboard trainer and scales trainer.

Also, the David McLean video sample should be along in the next 24 hours, it is currently awaiting the go ahead from David himself.

 




11/May/07

--- Big Update ---

Firstly, there is a new exclusive lesson from Tom Hess entitled 'Mindless Exercise - to practice or not to practice? That is NOT the question' it makes for a good read.

The artists' pages are about to undergo the 2nd phase of transformation where audio, video and even CD purchase links are being added. Joe Stump and David Shankle are the first two to be completed, the rest will follow shortly.

A Forum Rewards scheme has been introduced to reward those that use it - get lots of free vouchers to redeem at the shop as well as a lifetime discount - click here to read more.

The performance section has been started now, and will go live in a few weeks. Also, user-submitted lessons will be made easier for people to upload themselves and we will link to them - so more lessons more regularly!

Stay tuned for a whole load of lessons this week!
