And please practice these at my metronome site www.WebMetronome.net Thank you!
Outstanding playing I learning to try something new. Thanks for posting up and with tab at long last someone knows what I need.
Hey man great vid. What is the tuning?
Thank you. Just standard.
Alfred Potter Guitar .. hey. Thank for the nice video. Do you have G+?? I would like to follow you there.. you are an amazing player!
What scale is used to play this genre?
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
Same
Yep, just found out what's going to be occupying my practice time for the next several months.
+mbtmusic Haha, yes do it!
que
for real haha this fucking awesome though.
its almost like pagninni and bethtoven but more of this generation haha
*years :D
When they're slowed down, they sound like lullabies for some reason.
Well, neoclassical, as its name implies, is really classically based. And a lot of lullabies are like simple classical tunes.
thats classical music for you lol
O
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

0:07 How I think I sound.
0:18 How I actually sound.
Absolutely...!!!!
I cannot hear nothing cause i haven't fingers
@@leonardoLMK Most important have ear...!!!!
Oh hell yeah 😅😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Thank you for noticing that, I put a lot of thought and care into these =)
He has lovely taste in musical phrasing. Very nice.
Reverb and delay! I'm all in - Sounds great!
Haha I sure did use a lot back then
+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)
You need a bit more reverb and delay I think.
AHHAAHAHA
distortion and delay
CASTA Guitar i guess Tyler's channel has really been blowing up lately
Maybe some chorus and flange
Hahaha! I have got my tone a bit more under control since making this video =P
Don’t know how I haven’t found your channel until now man your lesson content is insane thanks so much
Thanks I am trying hard to be a valuable resource!
Holly mollly that first lick is an unbelievable
Im trying to play it
This is the best guitar lesson I've ever had
Oh Yes!! Well then have another with 5 more free neoclassical licks ruclips.net/video/vG-G6NC3x0Q/видео.html
I am so glad I just found your content. The sound is something I could play all day and never get bored with, and the technique is precisely what I’ve been looking to improve.
Welcome, Jordan. Check out the huge collection of videos I've made here on RUclips. So much to learn!
Alfred Potter Guitar I’ll definitely do that. Thank you
Love how clean those sweeps were
Nice!!! I learned all 5 licks in one hour!!
Super productive hour! Well done =D
Alfred Potter Guitar Yep \m/
jesus what? up to speed? lul how long you been playin
Arttu Sinisalo not yet
Niiice
I like videos like this because its straight to the point! No bullshit...No life story or complex in depth reason for each note. Just Heres what it sounds like, heres how its played!
Yes =D
You are literally a legend in my book.
Thanks so much. Check out the second video!
Alfred Potter Guitar Alright but thanks for the good video dude it really helps someone like me
First lick is Shred Gerudo Valley from Legend of Zelda lol
Never heard of it, must have a listen
Alfred Potter Guitar I was just saying it sounds like a shred version of Gerudo Valley. it's very catchy and melodic like that riff.
Joseph Engelhardt it’s the exact same chord progression
ruclips.net/video/K8GRDNU50b8/видео.html
Thats a similar to the first licks
ROFL xD
Great stuff buddy.
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
Damn that first lick you showed us is one of the most beautiful i have ever heard. I just discovered your channel and i really love the hard work you put into practice and technique. Well done! (sorry for bad english, greetings from italy!)
Your English is fine! Thanks for watching the video. Glad you liked it =)
Make sure to check out the other videos too.
I could listen to that first one for ages, I've almost finally nailed
These are some awesome licks man! Thanks for posting! I need to practice this style more.
Cheers! Check out my other neo lick videos with tabs here on YT =)
Awsome. PIcked up a great lick I was able to practice right away and gave me a great new addition to my shred library. No preamble or stupid nonsense.
Yes, dude, that's what I'm all about! Everyone else just talks on and on. Let's learn some licks.
Finally bought these amazing licks today! Best decision of my entire life!!! Amazing licks Alfred, and I'm definitely buying 20 Neoclassical Vol. 2, once I'm done learning the first 20 licks I just bought! Thank You!
Thanks so much - you are in for a treat. Vol.2 is even better I think =D I appreciate your support and respect your eagerness to learn and progress!
Wicked the first 2..
Loved the 3rd..
I always love the dimenshed thrown in the lick
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
you are an excellent player. I like these licks cause they are not boring.
That is kind of you to say. I worked hard to make these interesting.
I particularly liked the first one. You went straight into it too.
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 !!!
Thanks so much! Have you seen my other 5 neo lick videos? There is a 2nd and 3rd video. Plus over a hundred separate lick videos. All in this same format you like.
After i lost a hard drive where all my turilli's lessons were at, this will be extremely helpful, thanks bro.
I love this!! Been playing guitar for several years and I came across this vid and I think it's awesome!!
Excellent. Welcome to my channel! I have so many lick videos like this one so have a look around =)
These licks are so awesome! Congrats bro, your licks are the best!

ahhh the sweet sound of classical

guys if u want to learn sweeping fast learn the last one is really helpful awesome vid
Great vid! Learned the first one in 30 minutes, thx for making it very easy, now i can impress people at school or at home. You made it very simple and clear to understand.
Well done! I'm pleased you liked the video. Check out vol.2 & 3!
Wouu best sound effect and clean sound together.. I will be subscribed
Welcome!
Hai
Nice licks, thank you for taking the time.
Molto esaustivo e chiaro ...bravo ! questo è un video che va al nocciolo !! Senza tanti discorsi inutili che fanno tutti ....!!! 👍👍🤟🤟
Grazie per averlo notato. Non mi piacciono tutti quegli altri video con troppo parlare!
Look here, Al, there's only room on RUclips for one potter. I'll see my way out. Kidding. Good work
Lol! You are the only other one I've come across. Now to meet another Alfred... haha. Stay tuned, I am releasing 5 Neoclassical licks Vol. 3 within the next 12 hours.
You are very talented!! no way I can ever play these!!
Thanks!! But you can play these. Just chop everything up into chunks - 6 notes or less. And practice them separately. This way the brain doesn't get overloaded. Then when you stitch them together your brain sees the whole passage as 4 or 5 tasks instead of trying to execute 30 or so (or however many notes make up the passage)
lol! I am a 3 note chopper! but thanks for your time! and valuable lessons.!
the second lick is really badass thanks for sharing!
I found this presentation really concise and useful. I'm not surprised you have a million views. Thanks for the chops.
Thanks, Allan. Check out my other videos, I teach so many more neoclassical licks =)
the first lick s some notes are used in dream theater best of times and also yngwie malmsteen plays this neoclassical stuff ty for sharing it
he is of the best teacher for me 🎸👍
This is awesome.Ever thought about using the Egyptian scale. Its really cool.
Thank you! I just learned something because of you. Looked it up. And it's the 3rd mode of the minor pentatonic scale. I never knew that.
So awesome that you used "Wheel of Fortune" as a reference as it was the first song I ever heard from MacAlpine! He's a musical badass.
Pretty cool 😎
The tabs definitely helped me!
I always provide TABs =) Helping people comes first
For those who are not fast enough the real trick is to have trained before and have a similar speed in order to play this. Truth is, you won't develop that kind of speed with just one lick, but i must say that it helps if you're close to that, or like me, you're rusted and want to reach that kind of speed again. In the past i had developed my speed with "1234" exercise alone, everything else was just a "complement" to that, started at 130bpm or so, until i finally reached 250bpm. Stopped playing guitar for about 10yr or even more, been playing again for about 1 month or so, i'm already at 200bpm. The trick is to pick like if you're brushing the cords and with the left hand you need to move it as less possible, almost effortlessly. The best exercise for that is to "type" very slowly without taking the fingers out of the cord, only the one you're doing the digitation, it's very hard at first but when you master it you can go beyond 200bpm very easily, just start slowly and add speed, and if you're about 180-200bpm you can play most songs. Just watch the fingers of fast players like Michael A Batio, Michael Romeo or Kiko Loureiro, they both move the left hand in a very similar way, almost like they're not even moving it or making almost no effort to move while the right hand does all the hard work.
Ps: I used to pick wrong and my digitation was very sloppy, but those 2 exercises was ground braking for me, got fast in less than a month playing for about 3-5 hours a day (sometimes more). It took me years to reach 160bpm, even more for 250bpm, but after knowing those 2 simple things everything changed.
Ps2: I stopped playing guitar to sing.
Yes you're right. Also, this was years ago before I truly analyzed my picking technique regarding pickslanting etc. As a lesson this video is totally useless for this reason! You have to be able to play like this already before you get much benefit from it. Live and learn though, right? I am trying to be a far better and technical teacher these days.
@@AlfredPotterGuitar Thanks for the reply man, it's unbelievable how easy you can develop speed if you do it in the right way, wish i knew that when i was a teenager... This looks so stupid for some of us that are already playing fast, but without it playing fast make the fingers "tired" and sometimes you can do it wrong, but if that technique you can always hit the right notes and what is more surprising is that you can hit it without effort, that's why Batio can play as fast as he plays at the age of 62. I wish you lots of succes man.
What exercises would you recommend? Any link for me to check them out? Cheers
@@Misfedkarn I'm doing 410bpm 4/4 with 4 fingers that equals to 27 notes per second. And in 3 notes pattern i do about 20 notes per second. if you want you can add me on whats app, 55 11 994140693. Then i can give you tips on getting speed. Also you can add me on Discord: SlayeCohenX#9066
Love this, no chit chat just straight up great riffage.
Thanks man! Hell yeah no time to waste
Lick 5 was SICK
agora só me falta essa velocidade e essa precisão top
Nem fale mano
Rsrsrs, concordo!
Thanks for that. Nice Melodic Licks.
And thank you for watching. Check out the second video load of free neoclassical licks here: Vol.2! ruclips.net/video/vG-G6NC3x0Q/видео.html
Awesome video, completely out of my normal soloing style. Been wanting to learn this kind of playing and adapt it into my own. Thanks for the vid man
Yeah it's very good to do that from time to time! You are most welcome. Check out the second video. It's much better in my opinion.
very nice brother! thank you for sharing some nice phrases to workshop from - alot of things to work with there
Thanks for watching, Jason! Check out my channel. The amount of content is insane
0:07 sounds like Gerudo Valley but with a dope improvisation :D
So far, this is the best video I've seen that helps with playing neoclassical metal riffs, thank you so much
+DeadpoolYagami2 That means a lot to me. I was most excited to reveal this to people. This style is so cool!
Play fast : cool
Play slow : huh?
That 1st riff was especially wicked!
Thank you, I was looking for some advanced licks to get started with excercises after a long period of laziness. It's surprising how fast the speed is coming back to me, It's like the muscle memory was there, I just needed to get serious again after long periods of jamming and exploring stuff on my own.
That's good to know that it hangs around. I'm too scared to stop practising! haha. Check out my other video: 5 neoclassical licks vol.2 =)
I don't regret having stopped, I had an explotion of creativity and inspiration after I stopped playing guitar for a couple months (I went from playing everyday to playing once a week or so). When I started again, I didn't start again with any mechanical excercises and I found that all the hard work from before was giving its fruits, I could express freely with a lot of fluidness. I dedicated to jamming. That was a couple years ago, and now I realize the process is inverse and I'm playing sloppier than ever, so I guess it's tome to reset the cycle.
I don't know who you are but you gave me a lot to work with and that was probably the best instructional video I seen in a long time 🎸 thanks 🎸 Rock on
Cool presentation, great shirt.. Love some Ratt.
Cheers, Mike. What Charvel have you got, then?
Found this on my reccomendations the first one is probably easy for me thanks man.
Excellent lesson and LOVE the shirt !
Awesome.
Thanks from Brazil🇧🇷
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 :)
Thanks for that. I produce my videos in a very deliberate way - short, with tab, little/no talking. All learning!
Nice, a 3 minutes video that I will take some months to learn
Thanks! I strive to make wholesome content just like this
@@AlfredPotterGuitar love it, subscribed to your channel also
1st time I ran into these Licks in a lesson..Absolutely awesome & Ill Get to work now..I love be checking out whatever you put on U-Tube, Thanks🎸
perfect perfect and perfect again, thank you very much for educating with this amazing video and music
I love teaching this stuff, man! Thanks for watching
great licks! I very like it
Thank you very much
Such awesome sounding riffs!
Postez vos vidéos les pouces en bas histoire de voir si vous êtes à la hauteur de ce monsieur. Ou bien ne cliquez pas sur ce genre de vidéos et continuez à écouter bouba le petit ourson.
Great licks, thanks for sharing.
Really nice neo licks!
man I love making these! More coming.
Looking forward man! Check out and subscribe to my guitar channel too please :)
Try the Winter Madness solo, from the band Wintersun, one of the best solo in the metal history. Cheers!
Loved this video. I've improved a lot. The last one is the easiest one.
Gracias por tus videos, me sirven bastante, ojalá sigas subiendo más ejercicios para poder practicar, saludos....
Seguiré haciendo videos =)
Maestro que acompaniamiento podriamos usar para el primer lick.o que acordes.
No te centres en eso. Vale más la pena pensar en tus propias ideas para adaptar los acompañamientos en lugar de aprender las ideas de otras personas y luego tratar de forzarlas en progresiones de acordes donde podrían no encajar.
I used the first lick and incorporated it into one of my own harmonic minor/phrygian dominant solo's. I want to upload it as one of my first guitar clips! >:D
Send the link when you've uploaded it - I wanna check it out!
Awesome! thanks alfred
Glad you liked em
These are some cool licks dude !!! Takes me back to the 80s 🤘
I like your way of doing pedal tones! Good stuff 👍
Cheers! Check out the solo towards the end of my recent track "Palace Salarak", there's a section there which is entirely pedal tones moving all about.
Awesome thanks, cool lixs! 😎
Saw RATT/POISON back in 1985 In Pensecola Florida
Boom straight in no messing great job cheers!
fabulous! thanks for the time and effort!
Thanks. It was my pleasure. Check out the 2nd video!
Well done indeed!
Aite came in to this a year ago after listening to yngwie for the first time; couldnt play em. Im back tho lets go!!!
What a great lesson! thanks a lot :)
Thanks for watching :)
Damn!!!! How did you get such amazing tone?! You're fricken awesome!!
MrKazington Hey thanks!! some people don't like it but I do. I created it years ago on my Boss ME-50 multi effects. I'll use this unit for the rest of my career if it goes the distance =D
Alfred Potter Bro, I use me 70! Can u give me the patch settings?? i'm in love with your tone!
ashique elahi Thanks! Well here on the ME50 (which is analogue so it's hard to say how I got my tone tbh) I'm using the "metal" distortion, full drive, mid bass, 3/4 tone,
Then for the reverb it is about 70% if I remember correctly,
then just dial in the delay until it sounds right.
I may also have an almost unnoticeable amount of stereo chorus applied too just to polish it but I'm not sure.
I made these tones when I first started guitar =)
Subscribed recently. Beautiful riffs here. Keep shreddin!!
Thanks and welcome!
i saw a good guitar lesson. i subscribed.
I like your style
great technique and form throughout each lick, I find anyone who were classically trained on guitar have amazing left and right hand coordination and are able to play very fast and fluently and Can play and also write some very challenging and difficult pieces that are very creative and innovative and sound amazing especially when it's applied to blues and or metal on electric, before anyone tries to chew my head off lol yes there are just as many maybe more guitarists who can play just as good if not better without being classically trained, I was wondering if you were classically trained at all ? I was when I was younger n only played classical guitar for a long time until I was 14 n heard Randy Rhoads play and it was then I found my inspiration to really want to play metal and blues with a classical approach like Randy did and it helped me to be able to play and write and learn other styles and genres faster and easier and these licks are fucking great so thanks for sharing so I'm going to shut up now lol so I can watch the second video :)
Nah man i just like and listen to classical music and neoclassical guitarists =] yeah watch the second video! So much better than this one.
That's cool man after I finished being taught classical guitar and heard Rhoads I've been teaching myself and finding inspiration through listening to great Guitarists and trying different styles and whatever I like most about each one I try to incorporate it into my own songwriting and second video was fucking amazing man so I subscribed obviously lol ur very talented and ur videos are well put together and professional like, keep up the awesomeness, I'm going to check out a few more videos and im definitely looking forward to watching any new ones you post in the future. Have a good day man. Cheers
Great, nice video man
Thanks for just going straight to playing the licks :D
I know right? It's so much easier and faster to learn
When it comes to learning guitar, we can't waste any time.
The first lick arranged in 6/8 time signature with a few more notes would be fucking godlike
Good stuff! Love the guitar and looks like a Steve Lynch design.
Very cool, sounded great.
The first is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard but it's so hard to remember
Thank you. The trick is to isolate the sections. Work on the first position for a while. Then the second. And so on. Then join them after practicing them separately. Don't try to practice the whole thing straight away as this approach tends to make our brains get lost.
Thank you! Great vídeo man! 👍👍👍😎🎸
Glad you liked it!
