Week 50. Much Cleaner

Hey guitar chefs!

I’m sorry in advance for the video length, but I’ve just been practicing and recording so much stuff that I couldn’t get it shorter. As always there are time codes for you convenience.

This week I’ve been polishing my economy picking skills. I started with a step back from last week speed (150 bpm) to 140 bpm, and had been practicing at it for 5 days. Only then I decided to increase it back to 150 bpm. The progress is very noticeable (I hope 😅).

Also the new seven riffs have been recorded and posted. And this time I finally got to figuring out the keys of the riffs I played. Not sure if there was enough musical information for each of them but I tried my best.

Enjoy the video, and see you in a week with sweep picking exercises!
