Let's test your rhythm guitar skills today! With this workout, I want to challenge your downstrokes, alternate picking technique, and timing capabilities :)

It looks easier than it is - you won't need your fretting hand and the workout is starting really slow. But the main challenge is all about playing in time (not rushing/dragging at slow tempos), mastering the 'awkward' tempo phase in the middle (where you transition between your slow and fast picking motion), and the high-speed downstrokes and alternate picking at the end of the workout.

Here are your practice files for this week (play-along video, tabs, guitar pro file, backing track): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10sGTBLiaCdoBqxIKwM4qyKdV3ReYJvTe?usp=share_link

This is a great warm-up for your picking hand and I think it will improve your timing drastically - have fun and enjoy the weekend :)

Very nice! A great right hand warmup indeed. :D

This workout was bomb-diggity-tastic! The transition though from "aw this isn't that awkward" to "What in the drunken hell is going on with my hand!?!?!" Super fun and I had a great time with it! Also shoutout to GP8 for upping the RSE on the drums 😍

Hi Bernth, Everyone, Really awesome workout, I'm struggling with the 16th note triplets and my right shoulder often gets painful while playing it. I try to relax but it's not really improving, has anyone experienced sthg similar and/or has suggestions to adress it?

Really useful for warming up your picking hand and learning how to control your movement.

hello friends, love this particular lesson. Are there any other lessons that have more of the funky patterns?

How heavy should I rest my hand for palm muting? As ive been playing along I noticed I may be putting a little too much pressure as the sound was a lot shorter ring especially at the slower tempos.

How do you count out the last two bars in this exercise?
