4 Week Program To Master Alternate Picking Technique (Week 3)

[@satchrules101]

Amazing he did it for that long without even one fuck up . Gold

[@jamwithcem]

This is a monster of an exercise, but I also really appreciate how musically beautiful this week's string skipping lines sound in slow tempo. Inspiring on many fronts!

[@jamwithcem]

Update after 9 days, I managed to hit 220bpm, but it sounds very, very dirty for now. Good news is that my stamina is getting better, and relatively high bpms like 180 are getting cleaner!

[@OmarGonzalez-re3jz]

Day 11: 130 bpm (80% clean) Day 12: 140 bpm (85% clean) Day 13: 140. (90% clean) and 150 (80% clean)

[@albertogiachetti3162]

This is getting more and more crazy every week! Hahahah, I love it!

[@OzzGuitar]

Yes🤘😀 To be honest next week will be joyfull👌

[@derRaff]

Ok the third week I feel strong progress third week is very tricky today I have to get it into my mind at the end I will make a video on my channel .Thanx so much Ozz this is awesome 🤘🏿❤️

[@clubpaloma9127]

when i practice this i feel like andrew from whiplash when hes punching his drum set, killer workout!!!

[@duzie22]

Thanks Ozz So after learning the patterns you’ve provided, I set up my metronome in Logic Pro. Prior to this I was only playing along with you videos. Shocking to say the least with just my guitar and the metronome. This really is an incredible exercise!!!

[@jasonpark1303]

Thank you for the Video !!!! Bro !!! I'm gonna try it! : )

[@schooleo8634]

Continuing the streak (practicing extra for this week since I didn't have enough time on some days) Day 15: 60 bpm, this week i'm going to be ultra patient with building muscle memory. An advice that I really like is not to practice until you can get it, practice until you can't get it wrong. Day 16: 70 bpm, almost perfect, only some weird noise from the fretting hand. Day 18: 80 bpm, I can play it pretty well now. Day 19: 80 bpm, didn't have much time today. Day 20: 90 bpm, hitting other strings when I hop between them. Day 21: 90 bpm, couldn't practice much today. Day 22: 100 bpm, 90% clean Day 23: Reached 110 bpm but all over the place 😅 (moving on)

[@OzzyRibeiro]

Ozz tank you so mutch i have the pratice this exercise ,very good.

[@terrencelovebush9831]

[@ryansenadeera9770]

Hi this is the way to efficiencies and very clear practice schedule . These day i practice this schedule .1 st day I can play 160bpm Now i can play 190to 200bpm But some time it very sloopy sound Because sometimes not relax . So thank you so much shearing your knowledge . Cheers ❤😊

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you! I am practicing these exercises too 🤘😀

[@WilliamsGuitarTube]

Great Excercise Ozz! Can you elaborate on the last excercise in terms of switching the Pickslant please? I kinda play the sets on the high E and B downward and the ones on the low strings more upward (or rather "neutral") and i think you do the same at higher speeds. Correct?

[@marcelofusetti7463]

Thank you very much! I started practicing today, I'm surprised by the results!🤘🤘🤘💪

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you. Fantastic!

[@murilolima]

Day 1: 90 bpm Day 2: 100 bpm

[@5zazen]

Groups of five notes vs four per beat feels very different esp on sweep arpeggios! I work these on both left and right handed guitars.

[@sayadjsg]

Day 1 starts to get hard around 140.. I can go as far as 150 playing it rough, but 160 is the cap for me. Day 2 Same results as the day before. Day 4 130 and 140 bpm played a lot more smoother, felt more aware of each note, nonetheless 150 still rough and 160 is cap.

[@black_winds666]

Day 1 - 130 bpm sloppily Day 2 - 140bpm/150bpm sloppily Day 8 - 170bpm kinda sloppy but good enough

[@flamencoenthusiast8882]

Week 3 Day 1: 80 Bpm Day 2: 80 Bpm Day 3: 110 Bpm Day 4: 110 Bpm Day 5: 120 Bpm (ok) Day 6: 120 Bpm (Sloppy) Day 7: 120 ( Not good enough) It was a very motivational video series to push forward! Whats concerning me is my initial speed before i started this programme 18 days ago was 120 BPM 16th notes on a basic 1st position Caged Major scale and its still same since years. Technique falls apart at 120Bpm 16th notes! I don’t understand, Is it supposed to be that difficult? And i am practicing this exercises religiously! Is it better to start learning songs which require technique rather than solely focussing on technique ? Any opinions? Speed isnt everything but its very exciting! I love it.

[@OzzGuitar]

4th week you’ll get the speed no worries. First 3 weeks you slow down then in the 4th week you explode🤘

[@istillsuckatguitar]

Awesome. I showed Week One to my guitar teacher last night. We're working on it.

[@jarehelt]

Alright end of week 3 im going to work on it a few more days cuz im still getting it all internalized. I noticed a couple things, fixing mistakes feels a bit like "wack a mole." Ill fix a mistake with one riff, then another one pops up somewhere else, ill fix that one then the original mistake I thought I had fixed comes back. I also noticed all my mistakes are when I transition from one riff to another. After playing a riff once, im in the groove and the other 3 times I play it are flawles until i transition to the next riff And that final riff.. jumping from the low e to high e I get a little "jolt" smack dab in the middle of the back of my left hand. It's not too painful, but it is enough for me to not push the speed AT ALL. Im just super focused on an ultra light touch and even then I still feel it and it definitely throws me off.. Im not sure why, and im little worried as i really try to relax, take breaks and I've never had this issue playing any of the other riffs (or any other music for that matter) It is specifically THAT jump that shocks some ligament connected to my middle finger for some reason. 😬 Thanks, again 🙏

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you! I advise you to destroy the strings as much as you can. Relaxing is the last stage, first you need body building✌️🤘

[@jarehelt]

@@OzzGuitar Good advice. That last riff hurts too much if I use too much pressure, the other riffs i can destroy the strings no problem, but then i need to lighten my touch jumping from the low E to the high E or the back of my hand gets tazed 🤔 thanks again 🙏

[@JamesWilliams-js4fo]

I like how you have the very difficult string skipping exercise as this makes most other picking exercises seem easy.

[@mdgritt]

I’ve gotten through week 3 and am at around 130-140 before getting very sloppy. At this point is it better to go back to week 1 and start the whole program over or should I stay on week 3 for a couple more weeks in order to at least increase speed to 160 or above prior to trying the speed burst in week 4?

[@OzzGuitar]

Practice every video 7 days and than you can start from 1st week again✌️

[@mdgritt]

Thanks so much! I will🙂

[@gokhanyldrm1293]

Beautiful thanks

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you🤘

[@bluestringmusic]

Have mercy on us 😂. 220 on that last pattern is brutal.

[@OzzGuitar]

I think the stamina is a bigger problem than the speed :)

[@bluestringmusic]

Yeah definitely, I can feel the burn really quick.

[@giulicoppi]

You're simply a monster 👏💯🎸🙌🧑‍🎤🧑‍🎤

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you! Let’s wait for the results🤘🤘🤘

[@jeffaugustine6071]

Do you have recommendations for the amount of time each day one should practice this?

[@OzzGuitar]

Min 30 min per day but if you can practice longer that’s better🤘

[@andrewbanas3036]

Un the fourth week video you mentioned that you incorporated pick slanting in this exercise. Did you discuss this in the third week video? Did I just miss it?

[@andrewbanas3036]

I just saw where you said the pick slanting is unconscious.👌

[@OzzGuitar]

🤘🤘🤘

[@marekdurica1840]

Could you give me a little guidance in how to use these videos from the first one? Am I supposed to go to the second week after the first even if I am stuck at like 160bpm? Or should I work on it up to 280 and then go for the next video? Thanks

[@OzzGuitar]

No need to go 280 just practice one week and jump second week🤘

[@harrykmusic-cq4jt]

day 1:100bpm Day 2: 110bpm Day 3: 120bpm Day 4: 130 (not that clean) Day 5:130 Day6: 140(not that clean) Day 7:140 messy

[@RaphDaPinguFTW]

Day 1: Can do 100 if I try hard enough Day 2: 100 improved a little, 110 is impossible Day 3: No major improvements since day 2 Day 4: E string broke lol, unintended break day Day 5: 100 is much more consistent, small improvements on 110 Day 6: No major improvements since day 5 Day 7: No major improvements since day 6 Day 8 (to cover for day 4): Small improvement on 110

[@OzzGuitar]
