This video is intended for guitar players who already know how to alternate pick, and that are looking for exercises to improve their picking technique. Mastering a variety of alternate picking exercise will dramatically help you when it comes to actually playing music. I’ll try to make each group of exercises harder each video.
Practice each exercise to a metronome – start slow, and only go faster when you can cleanly play the current tempo. This is incredibly important!
