Alternate picking
Comments
There is obviously a lot of free content out there. But sometimes a good book provides structure and reduces option paralysis. I've just gone back to a very few books, going to try to see them through to the end rather than jumping all over the place and not sticking to the harder stuff. If anyone cares:
- Connecting Pentatonic Patterns (a nice way to raise my lazy pentatonic game as I'm not learning famous solos right now, most of my learning is full songs for bands and they aren't usually songs with blazing solos in)
- Guitar Fretboard Workbook (again as last time I fell off the wagon)
- Guitar Aerobics (my technical fix, love the approach, a bit of everything on a regular basis)
- Harmony & Theory (some way through but stopped a while ago, getting the picture?)
- Music Reading for Guitar (would enable me to join higher-level bands)

Best of luck, gents.M1ck said:I bought some of the Chris Brooks books, and am currently working my way through them, it’s too early to say if they are going to make a difference but I’ll plug away at them. There’s also some videos that accompany the books which seem pretty good too. So, no more excuses going to get my head down and see what happens.
Like most techniques, its economy of motion, if you film your picking hand you’ll be surprised at how much wasted motion there is
