Speed Series pt3 – Fretting Hand Chromaticism
The most important thing to remember is to make sure your notes are coming out clean, clear, and precise. Execution and precision are KEY with this exercise. Would love to know what your BPM was. Did you guys make it to the end?????

Say D. How do you incorporate your right hand during the second part of the speed series? You know what I mean alternating your fingers are we doing this on this speed series?
Hey Craig we’ll be going over that in the next lessons. Using that same pattern but including the fretting hand. theres other pattern that well be using as well. It may seem like we’re flip flopping back and forth but trust me, these lessons are chronological so its coming! just getting started🤘🏾
Smoke!! I’m not very clean and precise here, so I’ll use this a lot. Playing “Shout” in church actually helped me to be better with this!
hey brother, during your practice time, try songs by Korey Mickey to work on your speed. its fast now, but his music will get your fingers right!!
that will definitely do the trick lol. I’ve spent many years and long services practicing that lol
Did a lot better with this in November 2023!! I stayed with Daric pretty good today!!
Nice! I look forward to shedding this one some more! I made it to 120 playing along with the lesson, but after that, it definitely wasn’t clean.
Dude! That’s great! That’s the most important thing just getting it clean
just starting his sheesh
YES SIR! take your time with these lessons! no joke at all.. especially if you want to step up your precision and endurance
Im having difficulty finding a metronome that has can be set to increase tempo. Can you point me in the right direction?
Hey! Sure thing. Not sure if you have an iPhone or not but here a link to the metronome used in this lesson

That’s awesome! Thank you so much
Hi! I’m really struggling with this exercise… not much progress for some days/weeks now. Not really sure why either. It’s hard to stay precise with this exercise, especially to build tension/distance between the ring finger and the middle finger,when I need to play fast like that and that throws of the timing of the pinky. I think the going down with the notes part is hard in particular. I can play fast much easier going up… Any advice?
Merry christmas!
Hey Lenny, would love to see you tackle this visually to be able to pin point what could be the problem. You could possibly be making progress but it may not be as noticeable to you as it would be to someone else. Merry Christmas to you! Hopefully you’ll be able to show me an example so e we can correct the issue, talk soon
I’m also doing this exercise backwards after completing forward. starting at top on G str and descending. harder, so slower tempo.
thats a great way to take the initiative! love it
