  • Pick starts being at an awkward angle for clean playing

With This Lesson You Can Completely Transform Your Picking

Most Guitar instruction glosses over the details that actually matter: pick grip, picking-hand placement, how to move efficiently, and how to control string noise. So you end up guessing, building bad habits, and wondering why your picking falls apart when you try to speed up.

Finally understand the RIGHT way to hold your pick, place your picking hand, and eliminate string noise—no more guessing, no more bad habits, no more frustration. This free lesson shows you the picking foundations that everything else builds on.

WHY THIS LESSON IS DIFFERENT

Most picking lessons are vague. They tell you to “relax,” “alternate pick,” or “use a metronome”… but they never show you the mechanical details that make clean picking possible. That’s why so many Guitarists plateau: they’re working hard, but they're trying to build a fortress on top of a weak foundation.

I know there’s a lot of Guitar nonsense on social media—people promising “one shape to unlock the fretboard,” “double your speed with one hidden trick,” and even people faking their playing by speeding up the video. That stuff is tired, annoying, and dishonest.

This lesson is the opposite: real fundamentals, explained clearly. No mediocre “close enough” advice—this is the stuff that actually changes your playing.

Fix Your Picking Problems

Most Guitarists never get the picking details explained clearly—so they keep guessing and reinforcing bad habits. This lesson gives you the mechanics, the hand placement, and the fixes that actually matter.

P.S. - Quick proof I can actually play.

A lot of instructors talk a big game and never demonstrate anything. Here’s a short clip of me improvising with fast picking so you can hear what clean, controlled technique sounds like.
