This is where we get to work. Use this space to: - Ask questions about your technique - Share short video clips of what you’re working on - Get feedback on your picking, fretting, timing, or phrasing - Talk about how you’re applying routines from lessons or your own practice 🎯 Want helpful feedback? Include: - What technique you're working on - What you're struggling with - Tempo (if relevant) - What you want feedback on (specific or general) Let’s keep the vibe focused and encouraging. We’re here to improve — one clean rep at a time.

This topic came up on the Alternate Picking Intensive Live Stream. Very important for any player so I figured I'd share the video here for everyone.

I almost forgot to mention this, but around a year ago I made a metronome app, and I’ve been using it daily ever since. It combines: - a metronome with subdivisions from 1 up to 21 notes per beat - the ability to program it to move from any subdivision to any other - drones in all 12 keys - a built-in timer that can count up or down - presets, so you can save setups and reuse them For anyone doing the 8-week intensive, this can be very useful since you can build exact practice setups and just load them when you sit down to practice. That said, if you don’t use iOS or you don’t want to buy anything, there is a free alternative. @Tobias Bales made a free app that you can use, and you’ll find that linked in the 8-week intensive thread. I’ll be honest: I’m not great at marketing, and it only recently hit me that maybe I should actually mention that I have a metronome app for sale,especially since I genuinely use it all the time. Even if I hadn’t sold a single copy, it wouldn’t matter to me. For my own practice, this is the most complete tool I’ve found for technique work, scale practice, timing, and ear training, since everything is in one place. If that sounds useful, feel free to check it out.Just note that it’s currently only available on Apple products. https://apps.apple.com/se/app/jb-timing-trainer/id6444255923?l=en-GB

I found this interesting quote from Legato master TQ: "Once I had these exercises under my fingers I stuck with them for around 6 months trying not to speed anything up at all. I am firmly of the belief that if you practice slowly enough for long enough, the muscles and brain learn the required motor skills in a sub-conscious way and the technique becomes ‘easy’ for you. At this point your creativity takes over and the technique has become part of your repertoire. One thing I have found is that once the technique is in place at this sub-conscious level it really does feel easy and the speed is just a by product of that ease. One of the most important things I’d like to stress in this tutorial is to keep things slow and be patient – your fingers will know when the technique is ready and one day you’ll find yourself using it as naturally as you do with driving, riding a bike or cleaning your teeth! Patience and dedicated practice is the key to success. But then you knew that already!" This was in regards how he developed his legato chops. So, again, you might feel I'm cherry picking people who practice slowly but the fact remains that most if not all people with incredible technique says pretty much the same thing - Slow that shit down!
