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.

I’m releasing this one early since I’ll be away for a few days. @Sergey S asked about Sunday drops, so this worked out well this time. I can’t promise every week will be on Sundays, but for now, here we go. Here’s what you’re working on this week: • A more challenging variation of the pentatonic combinations in All Hammers • A very important two-string exercise combining previous sequences to really build your timing • Multi-string groups of four using pentatonics, plus a diminished variation for the neoclassical fans The two-string section in particular is where things get real. If your timing isn’t solid, it will show. If you lock it in, your legato phrasing and improvising will feel much more controlled. The pentatonic and diminished work ties everything together and pushes your fretboard control further. Get into it. See you in week 6.
