Why tons of practice won't work
Do
you really want to master alternate picking as well as any of the pros?
Then why don't you already? There are hundreds of videos and books that
show you how to do it. I asked myself these question years ago when I
was struggling with alternate picking. The problem is the formula
around which every alternate picking book or program revolves:
1. Here's the lick
2. Move your pick like this and move your fingers like that
3. Then practice that a lot
When
I started out, I followed this formula for 12 months and got close to
zero results. Of course I got better, but my progress was so slow that
I became more and more convinced it would take me years to reach the
level of mastery I wanted.
An approach that really works
What
makes or breaks us is determined by elements we are totally unaware of.
Some are lucky to do the right things without being conscious of what
it was that they actually did.
Then
we attribute their success to this mystery quality we call "talent"
simply because we don't know why one person makes it and another one
doesn't.
But the truth is this: The people who masters this technique has had a similar approach to practicing. And that approach came from a similar way of thinking.
"Alternate
picking seemed so hard to learn. I was about to give up on myself. I
can't thank you enough for teaching me this method. It took me just a
couple of months to train myself to pick as fast as anybody and I'm
having so much fun!"
Karl Peterson
The Ultimate Alternate Picking System is a simple easy-to-use method
that you can apply immediately to get greater results out of yourself -
because it deals with the real source of your results, - your mental
patterns.
It does not take talent
What we usually call "talent" is not really an inborn genetic disposition, but rather a specific way of thinking and acting.
The great news is that you can learn the specific thought processes
that leads to amazing results when it comes to alternate picking.
You
can follow a simple process of evaluating what it is you do and how you
do it - to get greater results out of your self than ever before. The
Training System is this process turned into a concrete simple system
that anyone can use.
Are you baking a cake with no recipe?
The
truth is, it's really quite easy to develop incredible alternate
picking skills. Anyone can do it if they know how. But most people
don't. If you've got the recipe for the cake you're about to bake, it's
pretty easy to produce a good result. But if the recipe is missing,
it'll take you forever to figure it out.
"The alternate picking program is brilliant. I've
only been working it for about 2 weeks but have already made substantial
progress"
Ted O'Niell
You
know there's supposed to be flour and sugar in the darn thing, and
perhaps some eggs too - and you know it's supposed to go in the oven
but not for how long. This is how most people try to go about learning
alternate picking, and this was how I started out. After months of
practice all I pulled out of the oven was a gooey blob!
A Killer Skill Manual
The
Ultimate Alternate Picking system is not only a collection of cool
licks, it's also a complete manual on how to develop killer skills in
the quickest way possible. It has three essential parts to it:
1. How to build accuracy and precision now
2. How to dissect every challenge and conquer it fast
3. How to create a simple and extremely effective results plan
I'll
show you how to perform this technique at a level of detail you have
never seen before and I'll give you the recipe for how to get
everything right from the beginning. Together you and I are going to
put and end to confusion and become clear on exactly what to do and how
to do it.

The 6 Challenges of Alternate Picking
You
build your skills in this area by mastering exactly 6 small challenges.
Alternate Picking is not one technique, it's 6 techniques in one. If
you try to master all of them at once, you'll fail. You will never learn
to pick effectively, there's just no way.
But if you attack each one of these challenges in a
systematic and methodical way, then it's suddenly a discipline
that everyone can learn to master.
In this program I'll take you through each one of these
challenges and I explain, in depth, how to break through them and
master them - but then on top of that, I'll show you an easy and
enjoyable practice routine that will make you want to practice these
patterns all the time. And this is essential: If you aren't having fun
when you practice, you wont do it enough.
"After
years of struggling my alternate picking progress is shooting through
the roof. I was unbelievably skeptical when I heard you talk about it
on youtube but I had to check it out anyway. And I'm so glad I did!!
I've made more progress this first week than I did last year! thank
you, thank you, thank you."

A recipe for you to follow
Then
I'll give you a specific plan to follow that is guaranteed to give you
the results you want. If you follow it, you will achieve what you want
faster than anyone around you, and that's a promise! How can I say
that? Because there's a specific recipe to it.
As
I wrote earlier; it's not hard to achieve the ultimate alternate
picking skills you want if you follow the simple steps that I took. I'm
serious here: If we don't know the recipe baking a cake is going to
seem like a big mystery to us. And after we've pulled 50 half baked,
gooey substances out of the oven we finally go "I guess I just don't have the talent or the time to practice that much"
But
talent has nothing to do with it and you don't need to practice 6 hours
a day. If you have an accurate map, it's not hard to get to Paris. It
might take a day or two, but it's not hard. Without the map though,
you're completely lost.
"i
have been using your exquisite program for over a month by now and my
alternate-picking-skills are beyond belief. i now started on my first
string-shift licks and feel like paul gilbert himself... ;-)"

How to chart your course
Included
with the program are an easy-to-follow results planning system. This is
a 30 minute process you go through that will set you up for maximum
results. For some reason I followed this system intuitively when I was
building the foundation of my skills. It's a specific thought- and
decision making process that allows you to turn your decision into
action and results.
It also gives you a fun
way to measure every improvement you make and to make those
improvements very visible to yourself. This is crucial because we often forget how far we've come because we quickly get used to the small improvements we create every day
- and when we don't see the improvements we make, we get discouraged
and give up. This system will make sure that you feel the joy of
getting better every day and that your motivation soars.

One hour of practice a day is enough
One
of the most common myths about killer skills is that you have to
practice many hours each day to accomplish anything worth while. But
this is just not true. It's true that many people who lacks an
effective strategy compensates for this by practicing many hours a day
for a very long time. Brute force sometimes makes it up for the lack of an intelligent approach.
Your brain is the most sophisticated computer on this
planet. It has the ability to work wonders for you and achieve results
far beyond what you can imagine. But no one gave us a clear set of
instructions on how to get the most out of this amazing machine. The
Ultimate Alternate Picking System is a step by step approach to
building extreme alternate picking skills. It deals with every single
element involved in the process. It's so effective that you need less time to accomplish more. It's a manual to your brain and a proven recipe that works.
I know it doesn't seem to make sense but think about the recipe analogy
again: You will succeed at baking the cake without the recipe but it'll
take you forever! The Ultimate Alternate Picking Program is that recipe.
