"Oi, guitarists!"

If you want to learn how to shred i seriously recommend that you buy this month's Total Guita magazine (And no, i do not work for them!). The two things in particular that i found stupendously helpful were the Paul Gilbert tab (Racer X - Superheroes, never actually heard of it myself) and the lesson from the two Slipknot guitarists (Who, for those of you who still dont know, are both amazing shredders). With a combination of both of these, especially the 'Harmonic Minor Scale Octave Shifts', i can now play infinitely faster than...well...yesterday infact :p If you want to have a go i recommend you use palm-muting and alternate picking like i did, enjoy! Oh, and while i remember, the Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird tab is also splendiferously good fun! :D

Ok but it better not suck

SHEEPY, check out "BRO" (sometimes goes as "YRO") by Racer-X. Stands for Bach Rip-Off, and as a Muse fan, I think you'll appreciate the classical riffs used there :P

Pffft

I learned Hyper Music by Muse

RAWKK!!!

Have any of you seen issue 3 of the TG Bass special anywhere? Im not sure if I've missed it or if its not out yet.

You'd never heard of Paul Gilbert!?!?!? Check out Racer-X - "Scarified", and ignore the singing (it's like an even worse Axel Rose). He's a God, pure and simple.

nice one mate.. always good to add more shred techniques (getting bored of sweep picking now :-\ ), i'll grab a copy of that mag soon i hope!
