Power Picking with Prashant Aswani: Series Introduction
JamPlay welcomes back Prashant Aswani for an in-depth skill based challenge series to boost your lead and picking skills. During the course of this lesson series, you will be provided a new lick each day to get under your fingers. These licks are used as vehicles to introduce new and more difficult picking and fretting techniques to your repertoire. You will also be practicing along with Prashant each day over a 3 minute looped backing track.
Day 1: Pentatonic Lick
Day one of power picking introduces a pentatonic lick to get you started. Nothing fancy here, just work on your basic alternating pick strategy.
Day 2: Adding Hammer-ons
In day two's exercise you'll be looking at the same lick from day one, but this time adding different dynamic through use of hammer-ons.
Day 3: Hybrid Picking
Day three of Prashant's 30 day picking technique course introduces the concept of hybrid picking. You'll start of slow and simple with this one and gradually add complexity in the next several lessons.
Day 4: Multiple Strings
In lesson 5, Prashant offers up a new lick to study that will incorporate multiple strings. This will work on your picking accuracy across those multiple strings and add more texture to your playing.
Day 5: Adding Octaves
Lesson 6 is all about discovering how to move licks into higher and lower octaves. You'll be using the lick you learned in the previous lesson and moving it to different strings.
Day 6: Adding Complexity
Day 6 in the picking workout consists of making the most recent lick you learned more complex. You'll be adding new notes and incorporating hybrid picking.

Power Picking with Prashant Aswani

Been going through this course for a couple of weeks and my sweep, alternate and hybrid picking have improved quite a bit. Prashant explains every concept in a clear way.
