Master String Skipping With Uncle Ben Eller's String Skipper Ripper Exercise!

Downloadable TABS, bonus lessons, backing tracks, and MORE available on my Patreon page! https://www.patreon.com/BenEllerGuitars ! This week, ALL my Patrons are getting access to special practice tracks i made for the String Skipper Ripper exercise at PepPep, Stepdad, and REAL DAD speeds! And 'cause i care, i'm also giving my lovely and loyal Patrons a special BONUS lesson to go along with this one showing how to change up the fingering combinations for the ultimate two hand workout! Support my channel today and gain access to all the goodies! TABs on instagram, too! @benellerguitars, #weekendwankshop272 Hey guys! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with something we ALL need: the ultimate string-skipping exercise to get you picking like a BEAST!!! String skipping is one of the most complex motions we can make while playing guitar and alternate picking; you've got to strike a note, then hurdle over the next string without smacking it on the way. Its tough, even for advanced players, and many chromatic workouts only focus on one aspect of picking (inside or outside string changes)... but this mega workout will help you master BOTH at the same time! Pair this with my legendary Punisher alternate picking exercise you learned in This is Why You Suck at Guitar 17, and you'll become a picking MACHINE! Here on Weekend Wankshop 272, I'll show you the exercise, then we are going to talk about the secrets you need to know to for string skipping success! Give this one a try for a week, and i guarantee you'll see shred gains and plenty of results! Playing my ancient Ibanez RG550 with Fishman Fluence pickups through a Wampler Pinnacle into the clean channel of my REVV G20! What a sick amp!!!! Thanks for watching! Lemme know what you want to work on next in the comments!

I actually just, kind of sorta did this at "stepdad" speed after not even being able to do it at all when this was released. I also want feel like I want to kill someone as this is SO difficult to do... But honestly, I already feel improvement in this drill. It's kind of funny as I have to use the "corner of my brain" to do this. If I think too hard about it I get tripped up. I have to kind of do it accidentally on purpose if that makes any sense.
