About this course
NOTE: 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.
Hello I'm Chris Buono — welcome to my TrueFire Foundry course, Guitar Gym Weekly Workouts Vol. 3, which I produced in my own studio.
Guitar Gym Weekly Workouts Vol. 3 continues this ongoing series of Courses with eight unique challenges covering myriad styles for you to work with. In this third volume, you will find Workouts that help develop something I call "legato picking", subdivisions of three's via quarter-note triplets and sextuplets, next level chord progressions, punch comping, an advanced modal pentatonic vision, bending, chord melody playing and intervallic scale playing.
With this collection of single note and chordal studies that employ basic to advanced techniques, you get a wide variety of skills to hone. Guitar Gym caters to chops building endeavors across the globe and gave life to the popular Guitar Gym Course Series. At the core of Guitar Gym is what I call "Workouts."
Workouts are specifically designed challenges that help develop your playing so you can become the monster you want to be. There are hundreds of them across five Levels of Skills such as Alternate Picking, Hybrid Picking, Legato, Tapping, Triads and more.
This Guitar Gym Weekly Workouts course is made up of a unique type of workout called "Weekly Workouts" where I design, produce and unleash a spontaneous challenge every week. While meant to be mildly difficult they're still playable, concise and fun to work with.
This is perfect for busier students who are on the go a lot and sometimes just want a bite-size morsel to chew on during a hectic week. As for those deep in the shed, Weekly Workouts provide them a change of pace and something fresh every week. They range from Skills already built into Guitar Gym to ones I'm developing for the Gym to ones I'm working on myself for my own recordings and gigs!
I'll open the video with a quick summary of what's to come. Then, I'll play the Workout at half speed. This performance will be followed by a detailed break down that leads right into me playing the Workout at the intended tempo I hope to see you work it up to. Guitar Pro files as well as a PDF files come with each Weekly Workout.
All you'll need is a metronome, your ax and the desire to get better. You can work at your own pace. If you need help establishing that pace - I got you covered. If you need advice on approaching the Workout - I'm on it. If you complete the Workout and want to expand on it - I'm all over it!
Ready to get started? Grab your guitar and let’s get dig in!
NOTE! Chris Buono organized the course into eight weekly sections for those students that prefer to have a specified regimen of material across a specified 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.

How to Workout Weekly
Let's get your fingers playing the weekly workout at hand. Feel it out, get to know it, pick it apart, analyze it, and finally take control and learn it.
Weekly Workout #17
This week is all about how I change up my alternate picking technique to sound more flowing and less mundane while giving myself more facility with no extra effort. Sound good? Weekly Workout #17 will show you how to do this through four scales intended for a ii-V-I-VI scenario in the key of A. They're all three-note-per-string scales played across six strings. Ascending and descending have their own unique approaches as you will soon see!
Have fun with it!

Weekly Workout #18
Classic rock licks and riffs are the cornerstone of my learning how to play. WW #18 pays homage to two lick ideas I heard countless times coming up (and still do!) that I was so excited to learn. Even better, these two licks came out to be a great way to work on triplet feels. Well, after I morphed the "Crazy On You" chord hits to a three feel! Those upper string triads are followed by arpeggio sequences heard in Yes' "Yours Is No Disgrace" as played by my ultimate guitar hero: Steve Howe.

Weekly Workout #19
Working on a Shawn Colvin song this week for a Hal Leonard video lesson shoot, I stumbled upon a cool progression with some interesting changes that I made more interesting with some choice reharmonizations. So, for this week's Weekly Workout, I give you this eight bar progression to play on your acoustic (or electric) for the sake of just playing it, while challenging you with some cool changes.
* Take note: Also departing from the norm is the chart. This week it's just a chord grid chart. As new chords appear, so will they in the chart. Meaning: I didn't notate any repeated chords.

Weekly Workout #20
Weekly Workout #20 returns the chops conversation back to one that involves a metronome and one that challenges your playing hands by way of this excerpt from a project I'm working on for Premier Guitar magazine. The three bar snippet before you is in 5/4 - one of three time signatures in the piece - and it demands precise staccato phrased hybrid picking as well as careful fret hand arching for maximum clarity. Along with plenty of clustery harmonic goodness, this one will turn some heads when you get it cooking.
Have fun with it!

Weekly Workout #21
This week's WW hearkens back to Vol.1 | Week #3 where I dropped a sequence of pentatonic scales that started you down a path of modal realization. Since then, I've further developed this idea to something I feel is complete and ready for take off! Allow me to present to you: Parallel Pentatonic Modal Visions, aka PPMV.
The PPMV consists of five zones of action. In each one, you'll play the five pentatonic fingerings in one vertical area that are all centered on one common tone - in this case D. If you remember, there are also chords tied in. Each scale has a corresponding chord that serves as a picture reference that points to the intended modal intent/sound that scale is meant to have at that location. I tightened that up as well where the chords make even more sense not just to the scales, but to each other.

Gym weekly, workouts vol3
Since perfection is an unreachable goal - like living forever, a hellish thought- this work out is a four star course. Like the others of mr Buono. But working for perfection can be done. Endurance and discipline under the guidance of those gym workouts, is the wayto go then. Straight forward and understandable for serious ‘ ‘ ‘geetaring’, all the grub you need for moving forward.
