Nailing The Shapes & Cleaning Up Your Technique
The goal of this module is simple:
✅ Learn all seven 3-note-per-string shapes in the major scale (and its related modes)
✅ Clean up your alternate picking technique, from both hands.
I'll be demonstrating everything in the key of C major, but if you're already comfortable with that key, just pick a less familiar one. This way, players at any level can get the most out of this routine.
⏱️ This routine is divided into 4 parts and takes about 25 to 30 minutes:
- Six-string shapes
- Two-string groups
- Single-string sequences
- Picking-hand focus exercises
We'll be using three core practice tools throughout this routine:
🎯 Transition Time
🎯 Finger Choreography
🎯 Planting
Each tool will be fully explained in the video lesson for its section.
🔁 It's very important to follow the instructions closely, and if you do, this will be one of the most efficient ways to improve your technique and internalize these shapes for life.
