Why Your Alternate Picking Game Is WEAK (& How To Fix It)

Alternate picking is the most important technique you can develop if you want to play guitar well, especially if you’re into rock or metal.  That’s because playing well means being able to keep up with nearly any tempo and doing so with tight precision–all while maintaining proper timing and a strong sense of rhythm.  When done properly, you’ll be able to play with feel and technical control.  

The problem is, if you’re like a lot of intermediate players, alternate picking can be a struggle.  It can feel awkward, clunky, and worst of all, it can feel like your hands are not doing what your mind is telling them to do.  

I know just how frustrating this can be, so I’m here to share with you what exactly it is you need to do in order to be successful with this essential technique.  Not only will you know what to look out for, but once you put it all into practice, you’ll actually feel the difference.

Today, we are going to talk about the importance of consistency and uncover some of the most common mistakes players make when working on their alternate picking.  Plus, I’ll show you how to fix those errors that are keeping you from being the shredder I know you can be.  

Grab your axe, take a seat, and let’s get ready to rock.
