Ready To Upgrade Your Picking?

Learn a simple, step-by-step way to master the classic single-string "groups of four" alternate picking sequence, a key technique for building speed and accuracy.

This sequence has been a staple for hundreds of years and popularized by Yngwie's playing.

Check out some examples from the man himself here and here, and here's one from me and another one from Paul Gilbert.

Why Focus on Single-String Alternate Picking?

To be clear, the focus is on mastering the single-string sequence and it's variations.

Working on your single-string alternate picking is one of the most important things you can do to improve your overall picking. As Frank Gambale once said, "You can't sweep on a single string."

I've seen in my own technique that the more time I spend on single-string practice, the stronger my overall picking technique is.

What You'll Learn:

The Natural, Harmonic, and Melodic Minor scales on all 6 strings
Coverage of these scales in all 12 keys
Massive improvement in your alternate picking technique on a single string
Development of clean and fast position shifts to aid any future picking licks
Effective practice strategies for reliable results
Ability to play the Single-String Groups Of Four Sequence on any string and key across the entire fretboard
Supplementary exercises and sequences that'll help you improve even faster
