Your mom LOVES when I mix up those subdivisions when we're alone together. Blending 16th notes and 16th note triplets is an awesome way to build control, speed, synchronization, and endurance (all things I need when I'm with your mom), and this workout is gonna show you how!!!
4's and 6's is a killer workout I made up to help you learn subdivisions and play them with ease, no matter the BPM. I'll show you the exercise, we will talk about the alternate picking strategies & fretboard hacks, then I'll give you some other resources you can use to improve your grasp of 4's and 6's.
Seriously, you've GOT to watch the Patreon bonus video I'm uploading this week! It's gonna blow your mind, you've NEVER seen this approach to picking.

Hey Ben! I'm loving these exercises, but they get pretty boring, pretty fast. I think you could structure these around cool licks in real solos, and that would make them sound more musical. Maybe even just give an example of a real lick in a real solo at the end of these lessons. What do you think?
