Lesson Series by Todd Simpson
Let's warm up and get going!
FINGER YOGA!

Being able so make your right hand pick, exactly when your left hand is fretting a note, while moving at speed, is well....hard! As you guys have been impressing me greatly as learning players, we are going to take this and make it even harder by using our STREEEEEEEETTTTCCHHHH and our various "Multi Pickstroke" techniques.
