Beautyful
Amazing exercises with some really beautyful melodies and ideas. It is a good training for the hands and for the ear. You will surely be sparked sounds of your own. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic picking practice routine!
Loved everything about this course. The pacing was absolutely spot on. I would consider myself an upper intermediate player, but I have a ton of skill gaps due to years and years of being stubborn and refusing to expand my picking skills beyond my comfort level, which consists primarily of a Frankenstein made up of alternate/economy picking, hybrid picking, and a ton of legato. While some of the lessons were a bit too easy for me, others were absolutely perfect to help shore up some of those weaknesses (sweep picking, for example). Fantastic overview for just about any level of player who feels they need work in one or more areas of picking technique!
