String Skipping Exercise

By Ludovico Reale

The STRING SKIPPING technique is very good for left and right hand training. This lesson is all about the string skipping technique. Every note must be picked with alternate picking. For effective training, first use the metronome at 80-100bpm. Then once you have mastered this, play the exercise at 150-200. Play this with a clean sound, and then once you have perfected it, you can play with distortion.

As you can see, the exercise follows a classical music progression with a change of time at the end.
