Extended and ad-free! WW361, Why Downstrokes are the KEY to Alternate Picking Speed!
Added 2024-01-12 19:11:09 +0000 UTCHowdy y'all!!!
Thanks for the patience! I had a super messy kitchen to clean and it pushed my time in my studio back a bit! But, you are being rewarded graciously for waiting....
1: here's an extended and ad-free cut of today's video with even more info and technical goodies in it! (here's the regular cut if you're in a rush: https://youtu.be/P9Vox_HvCg4 )
2: snag those TABs to shred along, and watch that picking notation!!! Its all about feeling the consistent rate of motion from downstroke 8's to alternate 16's; your hand is going the SAME SPEED the WHOLE TIME, and the sooner you learn to feel that, the better!!
3: practice tracks to work with! Remember, 5 minutes on any given thing is optimal for the way our brains are wired!
4: midi file!
5: hang tight and i'll post the exclusive video to compliment this one! You'll need it to mentally master ascending 4's!
6: HOLY MOLY UNCLE BEN GOT GUITAR PRO!!!! Yes, thats right! FINALLY, i'll be making GP files for all my original WW licks and workouts. I'll have to look into the legality of sharing GP files for licensed music that i didn't write. This is my first time doing this, so please let me know if i messed anything up, hahahaha, i'm winging it!!!

Maybe it is just me but the midi file only seems to have the lead line, not the backing track. I could be doing something wrong but based on the file size compared to other midi files posted this one seems suspiciously small.

2024-01-12 23:28:05 +0000 UTCI just bought guitar pro about two weeks ago as well after avoiding it for 10+ years. I'm using it to tab out stuff I don't find online and doing quite well with it, but solos and hammer-on/pull-off nuances and even palm muted chugging is difficult to nail the the exact timing. I look forward to seeing your tabs in gp. :D
