GMC101.ksd.zip ( 5.52K )
Number of downloads: 136 WARMING UP FIRST UP! (Starting with GASP and upstroke!) Here is something I've never asked you to do before. STARTING WITH AN UPSTROKE! For 100 lessons we have started with downstrokes to it's time to change things up! We are going to work on our right hand today so get ready for picking your brains out! WARM UP LICK *START WITH AN UPSTROKE! We are going to work this pattern quite a bit. -Start by playing each position once in a loop. -Play each position once and move up one fret then repeat, all the way to the 12th fret. -Find max comfortable speed. Then -Play each position four times. -After two loops, move up one fret. -Speed up *START WITH AN UPSTROKE! We are going to work this pattern quite a bit. 
101warmup.gp5 ( 1.54K )
Number of downloads: 144 ALTERNATE PICKING AND ECONOMIC PICKING *Again, INITIATE WITH AN UPSTROKE! Let's start again with an upstroke, but add two downstrokes to follow. Using Two down strokes in a row makes this a use if "Economic Picking". Once you get the hang of this, it will make playing complex polyrythms quite a bit easier.

Then -Play each position four times. -After two loops, move up one fret. -Speed up STRICK ALTERNATE PICKING BY WAY OF THE DREADED DOUBLE PICKING!!!!!! Double Picking (Two strokes per note) IS FREAKING HARD!!!! But not impossible. Let's take the same pattern we just played, and "Double Pick" it. Let's move to strict ALTERNATE PICKING now. Every stroke should alternate. And.... *INITIATE WITH A DOWNSTROKE!

Let's work this like the others. *NOTICE THE THREE DOWNSTROKES IN A ROW!

. (Stretch little pinky....STtttrrrreeettttccchhhh!!!!!) I am practicing it w/the metronome while driving the pattern up to the 12th fret. This entire lesson is really fun to practice. I do plan to record it at some point, but will definitely take me longer than a week. Thanks for this & all the great lessons.
