We’re kicking off a 30-day challenge inside the Practice Room. From Sept 26 to Oct 26, your mission is simple: ✅ Do the 30-minute Alternate Picking Deep Dive routine every day ✅ Post your check-in and questions in this thread The goal is daily consistency and measurable improvement in your alternate picking. So do make sure you post every day when you've done the routine, we're building accountability and forward momentum this way. You can find the Alternate Picking Deep Dive in the classroom. I’ll be here in the thread to answer questions, give tips, and keep everyone on track. 👉 Comment “I’m in” below if you’re joining, and let’s see how much progress we can make in 30 days.
