Why is Alternate Picking so hard to master?

Alternate picking is a complex technique with several details to it, all of which need to align perfectly so it sounds clean, accurate, professional and legitimate overall. Such details include: pick angle, wrist position, lack of tension, cross-string movement, and syncing the picking and fretting hands. These details are very often overlooked or not examined properly, and that’s what leads a lot of people to have improper or messy technique and unnecessary tension while playing.

CRACK THE PICKING CODE

Intro Chapter - The Fundamentals of Alternate Picking

This chapter prepares you for the course. It's a comprehensive look at the building blocks of alternate picking. We discuss the metronome, how to practice, tone, tension and posture and other essential concepts.

Chapter 1 – It’s All About the Accents

Learn the fundamental concept of accenting. This may seem like a minor detail, but it is crucially important to get that tight, locked-in alternate picking sound.

Chapter 2 – Conquer One String First

Focus on single string alternate picking, which is the first step in building your picking proficiency. This lays the foundation for full fluency within the technique.

Chapter 3 – Leading With the Pinky

Explore phrases that lead with the pinky finger. This tends to be a bit more difficult than leading with the first finger, but is an important step in progressing your left-hand technique.

Chapter 4 – Breaking the Two-string Barrier

Expand to alternate picking on two strings, which is one of the points where the difficulty of the technique increases.

Chapter 5 – The Inside-the-string Problem

This chapter solves an obstacle that trips up many guitarists the world over.

Chapter 6 – Palm Muting and Alternate Picking

Palm muting is a crucial part of the technique, and its importance is often overlooked. This chapter teaches you how to apply it to your alternate picking.

Chapter 7 – The Elevator Wrist

This chapter talks about the ‘elevator wrist,’ an important concept for maintaining a clean technique and minimizing tension in your picking hand when crossing strings.

Chapter 8 – The 16th Note Sound

This chapter covers 16th notes, a widely recognized sound within alternate picking.

Chapter 9 – Machine Gun Sextuplets

This chapter goes over sextuplets, or groups of six notes, the quintessential sound of alternate picking. Unlock that ‘machine gun’, aggressive and tight picking.

Bonus Chapter – Time to Melt some Faces

Have fun with bonus harmonized runs you can play with a friend or learn both parts.
