PRECISION IN THE REP.FREEDOM IN THE PLAYING.
01 / THE PRACTICE
Less deciding.
More playing.
A plan for the time you have. Clear notation for the notes ahead. A steady click to bring it together.
- 01
Find your starting point.
Choose your experience and a playing budget of up to 3, 5, or 10 minutes. Count-ins and rests are extra.
- 02
Settle into the click.
Set the tempo, count-in, click volume, and subdivision inside your exercise.
- 03
Listen. Reflect. Repeat.
Rate a rep Clean or Messy. Both help you decide how to approach the next one.
02 / THE PROGRAM
Build control.
Then build speed.
Nine focused exercises. Three stages. A progression built around the work you actually put in.
01FoundationsFind an even pulse. Coordinate both hands.
Start with a steady attack and relaxed movement. Get comfortable landing each note with the click.
- Downstroke Pulse
- Four-Note Coordination
- Alternate Picking Pulse
02ControlKeep changes, muting, and bursts even.
Carry the same steady pulse across strings, palm-muted attacks, and short bursts of faster notes.
- Two-String Crossing
- Muted Eighths
- Burst Control
03FluencyConnect patterns with a relaxed hand.
Bring coordination and picking control into longer patterns, string skips, and position changes. Keep the motion small and the timing consistent.
- String Skipping
- Position Shifts
- Pentatonic Sequences
Each exercise milestone takes two complete runs with every rep rated Clean at its reference tempo or higher. Start slower whenever you need to; your saved tempo still progresses. Stage changes take effect on your next practice day.
