Alternate Picking Speed Workout – Master String Changes Fast!

Welcome to Guitar Speed Trainer — an educational guitar training series. In this lesson, you’ll practice speed, precision, and synchronization with a focused play-along exercise. In this workout, we’ll focus on alternate picking with a 3-notes-per-string pattern, ascending through the F# minor (A major) scale across four strings. The goal? Smooth and efficient string changes to build precision, speed, and control. 🎯 Key technique: Two-Way Pickslanting As you switch strings, adjust your pick angle slightly—tilt it up after a downstroke and down after an upstroke. This simple trick ensures smooth string changes without resistance. Watch the close-up shot to see how it works! 🧠 How to use this exercise: • Start slow and focus on clarity • Increase tempo gradually with a metronome • Aim for relaxed, even alternate picking 🕒 Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction & Technical Tips 0:34 - Slow Practice 4:16 - Full Speed Play-Along 4:34 - Final Thoughts 🎵 Backing track and tablature available on Patreon: 👉   / guitarspeedtrainer   #guitarlesson #speedpicking #guitarspeedtrainer #alternatepicking #guitarexercise #guitartraining #guitareducation - 🎸FOLLOW ME    / guitarspeedtrainer     / guitarspeedtrainer     / guitarspeedtrainer   💡Gear used in this video : ✔ Dunlop Primetone Jazz III - https://thmn.to/thoprod/382265?offid=... ✔ Daddario Strings (NYXL-1046) - https://thmn.to/thoprod/336594?offid=... ✔ Pick Dunlop Jazz III Primetone - https://thmn.to/thoprod/382265?offid=... ✔ Vigier GV Rock ✔ Mesa Boogie JP2C - https://thmn.to/thoprod/379484?offid=... ✔ Mesa Boogie 4x12 Traditional - https://thmn.to/thoprod/153376?offid=... ✔ Shure SM57 - https://thmn.to/thoprod/105768?offid=... ✔ Focusrite Clarett - https://thmn.to/thoprod/524288?offid=... ✔ Mac Studio The links above are affiliate links, where I earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) if you click the link and purchase an item.
