This is a nice variation on the classic 3nps sixes run, got this idea from Vinnie Moore. https://youtu.be/dbrq1GzmsBo

This thread is optional, but it’s usually a very good idea to check in here once you’re done for the day. Consistency is everything in a program like this, and a simple public check-in helps a lot more than most people expect. How to check in Post a comment using this format: Week X - Day X completed Example: Week 1 - Day 3 completed That’s it. No explanations needed. Just mark the work done and move on with your day. Use this thread as your running log for the full 8 weeks.

Just finished building something I’ve been wanting to put together for a while. It’s a free interactive tool to help you find your fastest clean picking motion, built around the speed burst method I teach. The whole thing runs in your browser. You get the phrase as a tab, a seven step burst protocol you can check off as you work through it, the rules that keep the burst honest, and a session log to track your max clean burst over the next couple of weeks. Everything saves locally. I made it interactive instead of writing a blog post because the burst method only works if you actually do the steps in order and stick to the rules. Reading about it is not the same as running through it with the phrase in front of you. If you’ve been hitting a wall with picking speed, or if your slow practice and fast attempts feel like two different motions, start here. Ten minutes a session is enough. https://www.jonbjorkmusic.com/picking/ Curious to hear what max clean burst people land on with this phrase.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is where we get to work. Use this space to: - Ask questions about your technique - Share short video clips of what you’re working on - Get feedback on your picking, fretting, timing, or phrasing - Talk about how you’re applying routines from lessons or your own practice 🎯 Want helpful feedback? Include: - What technique you're working on - What you're struggling with - Tempo (if relevant) - What you want feedback on (specific or general) Let’s keep the vibe focused and encouraging. We’re here to improve — one clean rep at a time.

This is where things start to feel real. We’re taking the same concepts you’ve been working on and pushing them harder across the fretboard. The All Hammers this week are no joke, and the two-string and multi-string stuff will really test your timing and control. If you’ve been consistent up to this point, you’re going to feel the difference. If you’re not in yet, you can still jump in right now. It doesn’t matter that we’re in week 7. You start where you start and get to work. The results come from doing the work, not from when you joined. Head to the classroom and get started.
