Welcome to a fresh challenge in our Guitar Gym series!

This workout emphasizes legato and alternate picking techniques, offering a systematic exploration of finger combinations. Prepare for a highly mechanical workout as we delve into the intricacies of one-note-per-string execution across the key 3-finger combinations: 123, 124, 134, and 234.

In this workout, you will be guided through two key variations - one ascending and one descending. By systematically working through these finger combinations in both directions, you'll reinforce your dexterity and flexibility, laying the groundwork for more complex techniques down the line.

The first part of this workout focuses on harnessing the power of hammer-ons in your left hand. You'll be challenged to maintain precision and control as you hammer through each of the finger combinations in both the ascending and descending variations.

Once you've mastered the hammer-on sequences, the workout steps up a gear as we incorporate alternate picking into the mix. You'll apply the same finger combinations you've already worked on, but this time with an added picking layer. This element adds complexity and helps refine your picking precision and speed.

As always, it's not just about speed, but accuracy and consistency. Start at a comfortable pace with a focus on maintaining precision during transitions.

Whether you're a seasoned shredder or just starting out with these techniques, this workout offers plenty of room for growth and development. Don't hesitate to share any questions in the comments section.

Dive into the workout, embrace the challenge, and continue building your guitar skills!
