Introduction


Okay, I sent this particular video to one of my friends/student and he felt an improvement in his picking technique, clean, accurate. So just wanted to post this here too as I am super excited its working for others as it worked for me. While there are tons of exercises out there, I just compiled 3 basic Alternate Picking exercises that seems to work. user posted image

As you can see, these are super easy (as it looks) exercises and anyone should be able to do it. It doesn't have to be super duper fast but the main goal is to play SLOW, CLEAN and ACCURATE. Start with 60bpm (as in the video) or even 40bpm if you cannot do 60bpm. Once you REALLY MASTER it at that tempo, gradually increase it. I will love to see if you can actually get it to 130bpm or 150bpm.
