Downloadable TABS, bonus lessons, backing tracks, and MORE available on my Patreon page! https://www.patreon.com/BenEllerGuitars ! This week you get a bonus episode showing you how to invert this exercise into a descending pattern for maximum picking power gains! I know you're gonna love it! instagram: BenEllerGuitars #thisiswhyyousuckatguitar20 Hey kids! Its your good buddy, Uncle Ben, here with a brand new installment of This is Why You Suck at Guitar!!! In episode 17, we laid the groundwork for alternate picking perfection with the Punisher exercise, and here on episode 20, you're gonna learn another game-changing workout for your right hand: THE FLIPPER! I've taken the classic Paul Gilbert Intense Rock 6 note sequence (the "Paul Gilbert Lick"), and added an odd-note phrase into the middle of it; by doing this, the picking inverts itself, so that way you get the benefits of outside AND inside string changes! Its the total package to help you learn to shred! In this video, i'll show you how to do the exercise, talk about its benefits, and also show you some tricky variations like mixing it up with string skipping for added pick control benefits. We will also about the benefits of playing straight through something that can be perceived as being odd time in order to build a less-picky pick hand! Playing my Suhr Modern White Tiger into the Fractal Axe FX 3. What do YOU suck at?! Let me know in the comments and we will cover it on a future episode of TIWYSAG!
