​Stop Picking So Damn Slow!

Shred guitar, and extreme metal music require some seriously fast picking. For those of you who struggle to pick fast, or if you're just looking to maximize your speed picking potential, this course is for you!

What Can I Expect From This Course?

This course is fairly simple, and straight forward. The goal of this course is to teach you the principles needed in how to push yourself to get faster and faster. Starting with small bursts of notes, and gradually increasing the difficulty and length of time constantly picking, you'll be pushing both your speed AND endurance. 

The greater your speed, the better you can push your endurance. The greater your endurance, the more you can push your speed!

Get Faster Using Progressive Overload

Progressive overload is used in weight lifting to get bigger and stronger. The idea is to slowly add weight and/or reps to keep pushing yourself further and further.

This same principle is taught, and used in the course. You start slow, gradually push faster and faster, and continue to bust your butt to give your hands, arms, and brain a reason to adapt and grow.

The exercises used in this course have you start with small bursts of notes, and gradually increase how many notes you play to push yourself into being a better, faster guitar player.

What You Get In This Course

How I Reached Playing Over 300 BPM

The methods taught in this course are how I reached picking speeds of over 300 BPM. Here's a cover I did of Slayer's Raining Blood for picking speed demonstration:

Here’s how some students have described my teaching methods, which you’ll enjoy in this course:

• "...I'm beyond stoked with my progress. I've had to break down bad habits that were self-taught over the years and John's precision is the cure for sloppy guitar playing." ~ Chaz
• "...I never imagined I would be able to play as fast as I can now. I used to think that I wasn't born with the ability to shred or solo, but John has helped me overcome this notion..." ~ Josh
• "John is more than an instructor, he's an inspiration who is far from typical." ~ Dan

The Metal and Rock Guitar Rhythm Crash Course includes:

• 22 exercises progressing in difficulty and length for building up 16th notes, and another 22 for 8th note triplets

• Video demonstrations for everything so you know exactly how everything is supposed to sound and look
