Time for the second Alternate Picking Lesson. In this lesson we will move down to 3rd and 4th strings to make it more interesting and also to practice your thumb as this excercise will force you to KEEP YOUR THUMB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NECK - as well as to force you to MUTE THE STRINGS you don't play. So if you are ready for more shred - get in here!!

At first look - this lesson may look difficult - but even if you are a beginning guitarist I suggest you start practicing this one because it will show essential ways to practice scale boxes and alternate picking.

This short lesson demonstrates how to develop accurate and precise alternate picking, not concentrating on speed but on achieving a clean and aggressive sound at any speed.

Alternate Picking lesson at the level 6. Contains medium fast picking and different variations of licks - ascending, descending and two string skipping options. Speed itself is not as much the challenge, as the position shifts and string skipping.
