   Hello GMC hard-workers! :) For today's lesson I prepared a piece which might be called "Alternate Picking Etude".

As the name says, it's all about alternate picking, plus I added some palm muting, string skipping
AND nice trick regarding to fingering. There are a few spots when I play note with index finger
and right after that the same note with pinky, call it "take of" if you wish. :)

It's in key of C minor, tempo is 160bpm, all 16th notes, 2 patterns grouping wise.

It needs great condition indeed, non-stop picking. There are few slow backings, find the one that fits you the best and go for it! :)

Enjoy and feel free to ask if you need some help!
