Summary of This Method
Designed as a true "fitness" routine for guitarists, this method offers daily training over 52 weeks, based on a simple and effective principle: one lick per day to keep your fingers sharp and your technique solid. The goal is twofold: to build reliable foundations (precision, cleanliness, consistency) and to evolve your playing over the weeks through short, motivating exercises that are immediately applicable in musical situations.
You will find a broad range of styles (rock, blues, jazz, metal, country, funk), ideal for working on both fluidity and rhythmic adaptation as well as phrasing. Each lick becomes a musical excuse to target key points: pick attack (alternate picking), clarity of transitions (arpeggios), controlled speed (sweep picking), inter-string coordination (string skipping), left-hand flexibility (legato), expressiveness (string bending), and solid rhythm playing (rhythm guitar).
Going beyond a simple collection of exercises, a download code provides access to 365 licks and play-along grooves in each style. The 8 metronome settings allow for progressive practice: starting slowly for precision, then increasing speed for velocity and endurance, all while maintaining clean timing. An ideal method to improve dexterity, increase speed, and strengthen rhythmic accuracy on a daily basis.
