Hello Gab!

I hope you´re doing fine!
I have had a long break now from really excessive exerciseing on my guitars, just because the lack of time... i have a lot to do with my house and a baby is on the way.... ;-)

but i dont want to get out of shape with my playing and wanted to ask you if you could make me a plan with some moderate fun to play exercises/lessons/song (like an hour per day, nothing to hard...) which i can use to keep my hands fit?

when i´ll have more time, i will come back to you with specific questions :-)

Thank you!

Hi mate, how are you? Nice news! Congrats on the new baby coming! smile.gif

I would really like to help you to design a plan. What GMC lessons do you already know/remember from the ones that I assigned on your previous routines? What techniques/topics would you like to work?

Thanks!!!

So, what i really liked was the "iced Earth" Picking lesson... so maybe something in that style...
and something like the alternate picking lessons we did... they helped me a lot to get faster in playing scales up and down...

and maybe you could recommend me some songs from diffenrent bands i could learn that feature those things mentioned... for example, something you played along to to? or some of your favourite bands??

i´m greatful for every advices and recommendations you give to me! :-)

Ok! So these are my suggestions for the first weeks:


Rhythm: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Teuton...truction-Style/

Alternate Picking: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...tring-skipping/

Sweep Picking: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Power-...ng-Timo-Tolkki/ (continue polishing this one).


About songs, I think that learning song by ear weekly is a killer workout. Which songs? The catalog is endless so if you want, share here a list of songs that you've always wanted to learn and I help you with the decision.

Hi mate, thanks for the update. I'll check the rec take in a moment.

About the fast licks on Tolkki's lesson. I assume that you refer to the alternate picking licks which are very fast. I trained this technique mostly using repetitive patterns and sequences. I recommend you doing two things:

- Isolate the tricky parts and create small blocks that work as technique exercises. Work on this small blocks over metronome every day. Focus on making movement from your left and right hand the smaller possible.

- Check the right hand lessons from my technique course. You'll find one string, crossing strings and outside/inside picking lessons and exercises that are the ones that helped me to develop this technique: LINK

Hello Gab!

I hope you´re doing fine!
I´m back (again)... and hopefully the motivation to gat better (again ;-) ) lasts longer than the last time!

I´m currently sitting on Peters Winter Tune 6 and its going great! i can play it by mind, and get to small details that make it more interesting!
But there is one part i just cant do it "in time" or at that speed. Its the Part from 02:12 to 02:22 or video number 7
This 16th notes in a 12/8 measure just making me mad!! (and the "string jumping"....)

If you want to i can also post a video here of the part (just to see how terrible it sounds now) ...

Do you have andy advices for me (of course except starting slow and getting faster every day)?

Thanks man!

Hi mate! Great to hear from you!

I've tried the part and the main differences that I find in my technique (compared to your video) are:

- I don't use my right hand pinky as an anchors point. I keep my right hand closer. However, Piotr does it like you so both ways can be ok.

- My motion is strictly up and down, while your hand seems to do and extra circular movement. You need to try to minimize and optimize your right hand movement to be able to play this fast.


As this is a very demanding riff, I think that it can be good to add some warm up exercises into your routine. The main difficulty here is that it's based on triplets so the right hand picking pattern is different each time.

Hey there!

Thank you for the advices and the warm up tabs!
I already tried to practice it that way and i have some toughts on this:

I realized, when i play this at 60bpm i can make it! BUT! i am thinking about it... thinking about my movement, my strikes and trying to play tight
when i´m at 70bmp i can hardly even get into the beat of the fast 16th triplets... somehow my brin is fucked up with getting six strikes inbetween two click sounds....
so i tried to make a workaround and had the metronome on 140 bpm.... feels somehow more natural for me... or it sound more natural just to fit 3 notes inbetween...

so when i played the original part to that 140bpm i realized something else...
somehow i end up with the note that i play on the G string beeing on my 1, 2, 3 and 4... which obviously shouldnt be... to open D string should be on the whole measurement... ( i hope you get what i´m saying...)

i dont know how to get rid of the feeling that this "loud" note is NOT on that counters....

maybe you have some additional "timing" exercises?
Thanks man

Hi mate! This is interesting. Have you tried setting your metronome in 6/8 so you can follow the beats with your pick?
