6 Super Effective Picking Exercises For Guitar
Developing clean, smooth, and fast picking is quite a challenge, especially when you don’t know what to play to practice it! This lesson will help you build your right hand strength and speed through a series of killer exercises that have personally benefited me a ton.
There is a huge variety of picking challenges to work through, and each of these exercises will target one – from gliding through arpeggios to alternate picking string changes to economy picking, you’ll find yourself ready to tackle any lick in no time!
Stop getting frustrated every time you don’t have the picking speed to play something that you want to. Watch this video and start working on your right hand today and you can leave all that frustration behind!
