Death – The Philosopher Arpeggio Intro
To hell with tapping. Ok, I won’t be so harsh on tapping. I think it’s a nice technique, but it always felt to me like it was more about makingthe guitar sound like a piano, which is fine, but I prefer to shred on guitar, not tap. Instead of the usual tapping intro, this version opens with arpeggios to build tension and set the atmosphere.
Then it hits hard with the classic DEATH main riff, played with tight right-hand attack and full metal energy.A short but fierce tribute to Chuck Schuldiner’s legacy, rebuilt in Tyrantshredd style.
Tales From The Crypt Main Theme
Tales from the crypt had some of the most memorable TV horror moments ever. The main theme has a very catchy, campy spooky style that everyone remembers if they ever watched the show.
Beetlejuice Main Theme
The ghost with the most is one of the best campy horror movies of the late 80’s and most certainly a timeless classic up to this day.
This is the main theme that you hear when the movie begins. A memorable and fun to play part of horror movie history.
The Exorcist Tubular Bells
Very few horror movies have been as impactful as the Exorcist and I aways loved the main theme, so I decided to turn it into a metal lick.
This version of this iconic Horror movie is always fun to play!
Slaying Vampires with Hybrid Picking Madness!
When we talk about amazing video game music, one of the first soundtracks that comes to mind is Castlevania for the NES. I have never liked the tapping version that everyone does, so I decided to make my own Hybrid picking version to give it more weight and power!
This version of this iconic video game tune is perfect for a good warm up!
A warm up that ensures blazing fast shredding!
When you first pick up the guitar during the day, you usually feel like you need to warm your fingers up and get that smooth connection going between your brain and your fingers.
This warm up shred lick is perfect for that purpose!
You don’t need a delay pedal for Welcome to the Jungle!
Guns N’ Roses has many great guiar riffs in their catalog of songs, but few are as iconic as the intro to Welcome to the Jungle. This is how you play it without a delay effect.
Note: Eb Tuning as the original recorded version of this song.
Hybrid Picking MELTS Kraid’s Lair – Metroid Metal Guitar Cover
Kraids Lair is one of the best Nintendo Themes and one of my favorites to practice simple hybrid picking patterns.
Note: I am tuned in Eb, but this theme is originally in E Standard.
Face Melting Shred Lick 1
This lick is blazing fast and it combines alternate picking, legatos and palm muting. Start slow, but forget the metronome for now. First, you need to learn to develop muscle memory. This happens with everything new that you learn in an instrument.
Pentatonic Shred Lick 1
The whole purpose of this pentatonic shred lick is to help you build speed with pentatonics as you transition into other frets, not just other strings. Start slow, but forget the metronome for now. First, you need to learn to develop muscle memory. This happens with everything new that you learn in an instrument. Once that sets in, you can polish your rhythm.
Bleed by messhugah on a 6-string guitar
This version is in D Standard tunning and the riff is played by using the Open 6th string (D) and its fifth. Then the bend is done by pressing the first fret in the sixth string (D#) and bending it a half step higher.
Full video lesson for this riff coming soon!
