After following his unrivaled guitar content for years, just subscribed to @codegtr's Master's in Mechanics, when I saw this latest 2WPS post, which directly interrogates a hurdle I've been trying to solve for years in my wrist-oriented playing youtube.com/watch?v=aIu-HK…

Mixed Escape Scale


Here's a cool idea that popped up during some routine practice. Triplets cause the picking to flip, but with a crosspick-style motion path, you won't really feel the difference between the inside & outside string changes…opening up creative possibilities! youtube.com/watch?v=8Axr5q…

Andy Wood, Anton Oparin, and John Petrucci all use a technique we've taken to calling the "902" system, based on a very helpful clockface analogy for wrist movement from our recent crosspicking workshop. Here's an example of what it looks like! youtube.com/watch?v=w4hIrR…


Even when I'm just warming up — or cooling down — I always to try to make unstructured practice musical. I don't always succeed. But I always try! Here's a quick video we made showing some of this "unstructured play time": youtube.com/watch?v=bKHybv…

It's becoming clearer that the speed limits for "1nps" alternate picking need re-evaluating. We're not so sure any more that the movements themselves are really any slower than pickslanting movements…We'll keep working on this! youtube.com/watch?v=Do5w8r…
