Each guitar lesson displays a guitarist playing alongside the music notes and score, so online users can see exactly how each part is performed. Our guitar lessons online allow the user to practice at their own pace and master every detail by slowing down the video, adjusting the playback speed, or looping specific sections. Speed If you slow down the audio playback for practice, the video will also adjust, ensuring the movements match the slower pace. 1 Looping To loop a specific part of the song, simply click and drag your mouse over the section of the score you'd like to loop. This will highlight the area you want to repeat. 2 Fretboard You'll see the interactive score with the fretboard on the side or below the music. This fretboard visualizes which notes are being played at any given moment, helping you learn finger placements. 3 Audio/Video Sync Both the audio and video elements will automatically sync with the sheet music. The audio will play in time with the score, and the video will show the performer playing, giving you a visual reference. 4 Master the Solo, Play Like the Legends At Shred Shed, we give you the tools to learn guitar lessons the way the greats played them—step-by-step, with full demos and slower practice segments.

Sorry no, as our licensing does cover that. We obtain licenses as required and out of respect for the artists and publishers. Can I just buy one song? Sorry no. Access is only available by monthly subscription. How did you decide to do this? Several reasons: As a gigging musician, I often had to learn solos to new material very quickly. I searched and searched for a resource to really nail solos and struggled to find a 100% solution. Trust me the audience will cheer when you nail it live. The guitar-based music styles we love are steadily being eclipsed by electronic music. We want this art form to not only survive but evolve. Clapton’s quote on the blues tradition: “Pass it Along” You can practice and learn all the theory in the world, but I learned that by steadily learning the solos of an artist, you start to uncover their signature moves and tricks of the trade I see you have multiple versions of certain songs, why is that? Because that’s the way you really open the door to learning. Whether it is different performances by the same artist or multiple artists on one song it’s going to make you a better player.

The smell of wood polish, the gleaming rows of instruments, and the low hum of an amplifier in the corner create an atmosphere of pure potential. However, for many players—whether you are picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to upgrade to a professional rig—the sheer volume of options can be paralyzing. Knowing how to choose a guitar that matches your musical ambitions is the first step toward finding your unique voice. In this post, let's break down the design, purpose, and ideal player for the major categories of instruments. We will look at which guitars suit specific genres and how the right instrument can inspire you to practice harder. Understanding The Different Types of Guitar When we discuss the different types of guitar, we are really talking about the tool's intended job. Just as you wouldn't use a sledgehammer to hang a picture frame, you likely wouldn't use a nylon-string classical guitar to play death metal (though some brave souls might try). The construction of the guitar—the wood, the electronics, the neck shape—dictates the sound it produces and the technique required to play it. Understanding these distinctions is crucial. A mismatch between your instrument and your musical goals can lead to frustration and stalled progress. Conversely, the right match makes playing feel effortless. Now let’s explore some guitar types to help you identify which one aligns with your vision. How To Choose... --- - Published: 2025-12-12 - Modified: 2025-12-12 - URL: https://the-shred-shed.com/the-difference-between-guitar-riffs-and-licks/ - Categories: Uncategorized We’ve all been there. You are listening to a track, and the guitarist plays something that grabs your ear instantly. You turn to your friend and say, "That was an amazing riff! " But was it? Or was it actually a lick? In the world of guitar playing, these two terms are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to two very different musical ideas. As we dive into the mechanics of music, understanding the distinction between guitar riffs and Guitar Licks is crucial. It changes how you communicate with other musicians, how you analyze songs, and ultimately, how you approach your practice. Whether you are looking for online guitar lessons to sharpen your guitar skills or just want to win a debate at your next jam session, let’s break down the DNA of these essential guitar components. What is a Guitar Lick? Think of a guitar lick as a sentence within a larger story. It is a short, melodic phrase or series of notes that is used to spice up a song. Guitar Licks are incomplete thoughts on their own; they are usually part of a solo or used as a "fill" in between vocal lines. They are the flourishes and the decorations. Unlike a riff, a lick is rarely repeated in a loop throughout the song. It is a burst of expression. When you hear a blues player bend a note at the end of a verse, that is a lick. When a metal guitarist does a quick... --- - Published: 2025-11-26 - Modified: 2025-11-26 - URL: https://the-shred-shed.com/stevie-ray-vaughan-guitar-lessons/ - Categories: Guitar Lesson When you think of the blues, one silhouette immediately burns into your mind: a man in a wide-brimmed hat, a battered Stratocaster slung across his chest, and a tone so thick it felt like it could knock you over. That man is Stevie Ray Vaughan. For countless players, he is the reason they picked up the instrument in the first place. But capturing his lightning-in-a-bottle sound is no easy feat. It requires passion, precision, and the right guidance. Whether you’re an intermediate player looking to sharpen your chops or an advanced guitarist chasing that elusive "Texas Tone," this guide is for you. We will explore the life of the legend, break down the mechanics of his style, and show you why The Shred Shed offers the best online guitar lessons to help you master the fretboard. Who Is Stevie Ray Vaughan? Born in Dallas, Texas, in 1954, Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV) was never just a guitarist; he was a force of nature. Growing up, he was heavily influenced by his older brother, Jimmie Vaughan, and the blues records that filled their home. He absorbed the styles of legends like Albert King, Otis Rush, and Jimi Hendrix, blending them into a ferocious, high-octane style that was uniquely his own. Stevie dropped out of high school to pursue music full-time, cutting his teeth in the competitive Austin club circuit. His big break didn't come overnight, but when it did, it was explosive. A mesmerizing performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1982... --- - Published: 2025-11-12 - Modified: 2025-11-26 - URL: https://the-shred-shed.com/the-best-guitar-riffs-to-play/ - Categories: Guitar Lesson What makes a song timeless? Is it the lyrics? The drum beat? The melody? For us as guitarists, we know the truth. The most powerful, memorable, and defining element of a song is often just a few notes, played with perfect attitude. We’re talking about guitar riffs. From the second you hear that combination of tone and melody, you are instantly transported. A great riff is the song's DNA, its hook, and its identity, all rolled into one. For guitar players, learning these riffs is more than just mimicry; it's a rite of passage. It’s how we learn the language of our heroes. But what are the best guitar riffs to learn? Which ones not only sound great but also contain the most valuable lessons in technique, timing, and phrasing? In this post, we're not just going to list a few popular riffs. We're going to analyze some of the most iconic guitar riffs ever played, breaking down why they are essential for any intermediate-to-advanced player to master. We'll explore the genius of legends like Eric Clapton, B. B. King, and Jerry Garcia, and discuss how you can take your playing from "practice" to "performance. " What Is a Guitar Riff? Before we dive into the list, let's establish our terms. The line can get blurry, but a guitar riff is different from a lick or a solo. A guitar riff is a repeated, recognizable melodic or rhythmic phrase. It's the foundation of the song. Think of the main phrase... --- - Published: 2025-10-31 - Modified: 2025-10-31 - URL: https://the-shred-shed.com/improve-your-guitar-skills-in-just-15-minutes/ - Categories: Uncategorized We’ve all said it. "I just don't have time to practice. " Life, as it tends to do, gets in the way. Between work, family, and a thousand other obligations, that two-hour woodshedding session you planned just... evaporates. Your guitar, once your closest companion, starts gathering a thin layer of dust. The frustration mounts. You want to get better, you want to nail that solo, but finding a "meaningful" block of time feels impossible. Here’s a secret that the most disciplined musicians know: It’s not about the duration of your practice. It’s about the consistency and focus. What if we told you that you could make dramatic, tangible improvements to your playing in just 15 minutes a day? No, that’s not a gimmick. We’re talking about 15 minutes of highly focused, strategic guitar practice. It’s a complete mindset shift. It’s the difference between aimless noodling and deliberate progress. This approach is the key to building real momentum, and it’s the perfect companion to a structured learning system like online guitar lessons. In this post, we’re going to shatter the "no time" myth.
