Members Only - Power Up Your Picking!

Turbocharge your alternate picking technique and learn a bunch of cool picking licks with this Members Only special! I've had a whole bunch of questions about Alternate Picking so I've put together a short picking workout for you to practice. It's packed full of common picking moves and licks to help you supercharge this essential guitar skill.
Let's get started!

Here's a breakdown of this lesson:

0:26 Here's a demo of the workout we're going to use in this lesson. It's great as an exercise, a warmup and is also made up of some cool picking lick ideas you can pinch and use in your soloing.

0:55 When I play things like this study I use strict down/up picking all the way. Sometimes I'll use a more sweep picking based approach but I find alternate picking works best for me most of the time. Adapt the picking I describe here to suit you - but be consistent with how you're playing it!

1:22 Here are a few essential tips about alternate picking technique and hand position.
As always...make sure you're nailing the rhythms. Super important if you want your playing to be in time and punchy.

1:54 Picking Workout Lick 1

3:46 Picking Workout Lick 2

6:05 Picking Workout Lick 3

6:30 Here's the workout so far at a slow speed.

6:49 Picking Workout Lick 4

9:25 Here's the whole workout played over a backing track. If this end lick is too fast for you at the moment then you can play it slower like I show you in the second demo.

10:00 Practice tips, synching up left and right hands and more!
