A
Lesson on Accuracy
By
Lee Carlson
This lesson
is designed to help you in various areas of your guitar playing.
First of all, it will develop the synchronization of both your
hands. Secondly, it focuses on picking hand, accuracy, and technique
through the use of different rhythmic groupings, such as triplets
and sixteenth notes. Third, by playing the exact same sequence
exercise with these groupings, you train your picking hand to
learn phrasing that might otherwise feel unnatural or awkward.
As always,
start these exercises slowly to ensure that the notes are played
cleanly and evenly and to enable you to develop the correct muscle
memory. Be sure to use a metronome.
These are
just a couple of examples of how to develop your picking technique.
I, personally, will practice these sequences in groups of five
and seven as well, being sure to accent the first note of each
grouping on the click. I hope these have helped and inspired.
