Developing Expression, Control and Consistency with your Right Hand Picking Technique.
1. Relationship between a phrase and pick direction: Most target notes line up with down strokes.
2. Understanding the time frame of a phrase: Chord Scales Exercises by degree.
3. Accent Exercises: develop a “pulse” or heart beat.
Run your Scales by degree (1st, 3rd & 5th etc..) not just from root to root all the time.
