Well..i do agree that learning scales and stuff like that is very important..but hey,why not just learn something new once in awhile ehhh??hehe..guitar smashing..NOT FOR ME NOW..i only have one precious guitar,may have to pump in some extra cash to get the locks and wireless then??=]
If you dont dare to spin your guitar. Here's a away with a Guitar hero controller ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgX_4EykUQU
There're so many videos on youtube showing how to do it.. and much more on how not to do it..
I shall be frank here.. The only thing you need is safety-precaution, guts and confidence..
1) Learning 'what'(What are the procedures involved?)
2) Preparation of learning 'how'[Sraplock, Duct tape, Cheapo-guitars, strong strap(nylon), shirt with collar(fold up during spin), Army t-shirt(with shoulder pad), gloves(catching the spining guitar)]
3) Make up your mind (You should tell yourself something like.. "It's easy, im just gonna throw and it's definitely coming back--No problem")
[**Note: There are chances that thing might go wrong... but you need the right mindset to do it first]
4) Learning 'how' (With all the 'what' you learn from 1st step, perform guitar-spin)
There are two possible outcomes.. as you know.. with all the protection gear.. an undesirable outcome might not be severe enough to kill you..
5) Two quotes one should learn "Practice makes perfect" and "Noone is perfect"
Summarising both.. mean you should practice and bear in mind there's a chance that you'll screw up.
Yepss that's it.. I think in arcade there's this "GuitarFreak", maybe one can drill there.. =D it's kinda 'not-yours' anyway LoL..
PS. RyanZ why not spin with LesPaul? The weight is nice for multiple spins XD~ and also the weight is enough to screw itself up in case it flies =D

HAHHA! eh polo tees and hoodies are not necessary but it might prevent neck burns.. but the hardcore way is to do it halfnaked.. then people can see the burns from the guitar spin \m/
and shoulder pads and gloves are too much already..
anyway if have not enough guts to do, try doing it on a sling bag, its soft and comfy..
btw, another thing i seem to realise is that if ur guitar slips off ur shoulder during a swing, u can easily catch it using ur elbows.. cause it is still kinda around ur body, if u just stretch out ur arms, ur guitar will be caught by ur elbows, then just put it back on ur shoulder and continue the song
provided ur strap doesnt come off.. most important thing is to keep the strap and the body together, even straps can break.. if the guitar flies, can be quite hazardous

after learning how to spin the guitar like malmsteen, you should learn his "kick of rock" in the song evil eye.

Everything is precaution, you see.. Straplock is.. so is duct tape LoL..
Actually if your axe is ex.. I suggest wrap it with sponge or something will lessen your heartpain in case ...... happens -- All the best with the first..
PS. My first was perfect and neat.. second a bit off.. third was the fly.. regret til now.. but Im stil doin' it these days.. with a more secure stuffs on..
Highly encorage to practice in open space and possibly a lawn.. If you're doing front swing please be careful as the headstock might be swinging real low..
