About this course

TrueFire Foundry courses are independently produced courses presented by a hand-picked selection of top-notch artists and educators from around the world. Filmed in the educator’s own studio, Foundry courses bring fresh educational concepts and very effective teaching methodologies to TrueFire Students. Dave Martone’s Foundry course, The Combined Hands of Fury will show you power workouts and essential instruction for combined right and left hand techniques.

Hello I'm Dave Martone — welcome to my TrueFire Foundry course, The Combined Hands of Fury, which I produced in my own studio.

For the intermediate to advanced player who wants to step up their technique and develop some wicked chops, this course is just the ticket. Not only does this course take students on a journey to help them combine the most popular and famous left and right hand techniques, but it does so by also teaching some awesome licks, riffs, and tunes that will be fun to play, and not just sound like “exercises".
I will everything from Tarrega, Villa Vobos, and Albeniz (classical/flamenco styles), to Holdsworth, Howe, Satriani moves (fusion/rock styles) and much more. I will also include a ton of amazing left and right hand workouts.

Right hand techniques will include tremolo, rasqueado, speed picking, sweeping, hybrid picking, single and double finger tapping with single lines and chord applications. Left hand techniques will include hammers from nowhere, liquefying legato, left hand arpeggios, finger rolling, endurance, and building power!

So if you’re ready to dig in and do something that will give you a whole new arsenal of right and left hand skills — grab your guitar and let’s get started with The Combined Hands of Fury!

NOTE! David Martone organized the course into 8 weekly sections for those students that prefer to have a specified regimen of material across a specified time schedule. However, for those students who prefer to work at their own pace, or even skip around you are certainly encouraged to approach the course in that way as well.

What you'll learn

  • Understand tremolo fingerpicking technique
  • Develop multi-finger string plucking skills
  • develop string muting skills
  • Understand legato technique fundamentals
  • Develop smooth note transitions

Good but could be better

This is a tough course, but not just because of the content. It‘s a bit dated, so I don‘t know if it‘s because of that or just because of the instructor that it‘s not as good of quality as most other courses I‘ve seen here. I‘m new to TrueFire and have watched almost exclusively jazz courses and started at the beginning, even though I‘m not a beginner. Those are really great because they build on your knowledge, which is not what this course does or really can do. It‘s an anomaly course which doesn‘t reference any previously gained knowledge, and there‘s not follow-up course. So you don‘t exactly know where you have to be in your skill level to pick up these techniques. The instructor gives tips and explains what he‘s trying to do, but it‘s all quite fast and could be clearer. That‘s what separates it from the other courses I‘ve seen on TrueFire. I think you‘d be better off getting the „Guitar Gym“ series from Chris Buono, but if you‘re on a tight budget then you could try this one. Also, there‘s only one angle at a time, so you can‘t always see clearly what he‘s doing.

This is a great course! I started classical guitar when I was 10, I am now 40 and have always had trouble with my left hand. This courses is fixing that problem.
