Speed Picking: Master Month: One Book for Commanding Technique

by Brett Miller and Metal Guitar Academy MGA

Some guitar players seem to pick so fast and so effortlessly. Have you ever asked yourself "Why is it so difficult for me to play that way? What am I doing wrong?" If you have, then it's time to stop being frustrated, and to start making real progress. With "Speed Picking: Master Month", pro guitarist, instructor, and author Brett Miller lays out a 30-day intensive program designed specifically to build picking speed, stamina, and power. You'll build your speed picking technique step-by-step, with intensive practice sessions that you'll actually follow through on. Here's the deal: it's all about doing something everyday to increase your picking speed, stamina, and accuracy. Most guitarists don't see measurable progress with their speed picking because they're not organized; they don't have a plan to follow, and they don't keep track of max tempos and other benchmarks. "Speed Picking: Master Month" solves this problem by providing a specific, trackable, cumulative picking program designed for daily use. Each day, you'll choose one of four picking workouts, and practice it intensely for 4 minutes. You'll add on another 4 minute workout everyday (there are a total of 120 speed picking workouts in the book, designed to cover every area of alternate picking practice). The unique Tempo Tally sidebars allow you to keep track of your speed progress for each and every exercise. The end result is a massive, two-hour, focused picking routine. Depending on your ability level going in, it might take you 30 days to achieve this, or or it might take you longer. The calendar doesn't matter though - that's not the point. You should be committed to results, not a time-table, and that's what "Speed Picking: Master Month" is all about. A plan to follow through on, every day, that will build your picking speed, stamina, and accuracy. The author has this to say about "Speed Picking": "Look, I'm going to get real here. And maybe not sound so nice. The reality is, most 'metal guitar books' aren't put together with much care. I've been an in-demand private guitar instructor for a dozen years, have a degree in Classical Composition from Berklee College of Music, and actually use all the material I teach - in five prog metal solo records, as well as video game soundtracks, etc. I've seen a lot of guitar technique books over the years, and because of what I've seen, I set out to create the Metal Guitar Academy line of books in order to change the way guitar is taught. Because whether it's books, courses, or worst of all YouTube, there's so much out there that can steer the serious guitar student in the wrong direction. "Speed Picking: Master Month" was written with one goal in mind: to provide an actual road map for picking progress, one that guitarists can actually follow through on, but that is challenging, comprehensive, and well-thought-out. " If you've been frustrated with your picking, then don't wait any longer - tackle the program in "Speed Picking: Master Month", and achieve a breakthrough in your guitar playing. Start gaining speed and power today!
