Description
Advanced Guitar Technique Manual. An extensive and detailed version with detailed tablature, diagrams of the theoretical concepts used, over 120 audio files of the exercises to download with variations and warm-ups, and drum backing tracks for practice.
The Shred Guide is a collection of exercises that are most useful for learning a methodology for improving: Alternate Picking, Legato, Tapping, Sweep Picking, and String Skipping.
The concept of technique differs from that of speed, and in this book you will have the tools to acquire advanced solo technique and subsequently work independently on playing speed.
The book also focuses on visualizing some theoretical concepts such as the Major scale and triads on the guitar, so as to provide theoretical value and the possibility of using the content in different areas of the guitar or in different keys.

Review
I love Francesco’s playing so much! He is a phenomenal player, great musician, and an awesome person! Everyone that I meet, I tell about Francesco! I’ve already tried to get numerous friends to buy this book hahah. I got this book in hopes to up my technique and I’m already stuck on exercise 3 hah. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to develop or sharpen their chops!
One of the things I really enjoy about the book aside from the cool exercises is that all the examples are given in one key and alternate picked and you are urged to transpose and figure out your own comfortable form of picking them.
That aspect, to me, makes this book really cool and much more than just an exercise book.
As Francesco says in the book
“Virtuosity means that you can play anything that you desire.”
Robert Moore
I have many..many..too many guitar books but I got to say this one is unique and has definitely given me new ideas and greater fluidity up and down the fretboard.
