    I love the exercises and appreciate the work.thank you. just providing some feedback I must say that the tab intonation font being so small and going so fast makes it super difficult and discouraging. Even if I reduce the play back speed, the font is too small for people without a perfect 20 20. Anyone else think so?

    These exercises are modified AND AMAZINGLY COMMUNICATED in a fashion that are probably the best I've ever come across (ever) ...naturally, some I've figured out on my own (some example being speed bursts; equal temperament, dynamics, w/ legato, etc; slight lead/lag issues and why.. and so on, etc.) ...BUUUT then hearing you say it (and seeing it) REALLY engrains it in!! ..and I'll be using a LOT more of these with and w/o modifications..as one should 🙂🤘🏻 (and you are a PHENOMENAL artist and musician!!)

    These are the best lessons for improving picking technique I've ever found after years of playing guitar. One thing I noticed whilst trying to increase my speed on the two note per string exercise was my pick depth. If you come from a blues background and are used to digging in more it takes an adjustment for shredding. Now during this exercise, it feels like I'm going to miss the strings with the tip but I don't, instead, I get a much lighter feel using far less energy almost like floating over the top, just better for speed but it feels strange, something I will have to get used to.

    Rick I am currently working on my shredding skills. I come from more blues background, but years ago I played rhythm in thrash/ death metal. I love to dig into it, use the pick harder on strings, use a lot of grip in my left hand while bending etc. Since two months I started seriously practicing to be able to do solo's, working daily on my techniques and reducing my bad habits. As you said, it feels strange, almost like learning for the first time how to play. Effortless at times, like I seriously don't even feel my fingers moving wondering how my fingers reached the string etc. That effortlessness is somehow discomforting, especially with bends. I struggle so much now with clean bends, because my whole left hand is in a different position, and I have my guitar a lot higher, standing straight. It definitely takes time to get used to. Hope you're doing well Rick!!

So i put my ring finger on the 13th fret and my middle finger on the 11th and then just went down the fretboard a few times like that and at the end my fingers were fairly stretched apart and the problem fixed itself in less than 15 minutes (if anyone else has this problem try this)
