Alternate Picking Level 1
£14.99The alternate picking makes you play twice as fast at half the energy. You're probably thinking this is too good to be true and yes, it requires practice and a bit of focus but don't you worry: Gymtar made it easy for you with the most effective method around. -

Alternate Picking Level 2
£14.99Alternate picking is the combination of consistent downward and upward strokes and it's a key skill for all guitarists. This technique allows twice the speed and half as much as the energy you would normally use in relentlessly down-picking a guitar string. -

Alternate Picking with String Skipping Level 1
£14.99As long as you play your licks in a sequential and linear fashion, you get fully covered with the alternate picking level 1 and 2. However, you also need to jump between distant strings and this is why you cannot miss the alternate picking with string skipping. -
5Videos
Hybrid Picking Level 1
£14.99This is the first level of hybrid picking, a technique that allows your picking hand to pluck the strings with a combination of both the pick and your bare fingers. It's a mixed-blood approach with a focus on the way you attack the strings. -
4Videos
Hybrid Picking Level 2
£14.99With hybrid picking, we resort to both pick and fingers to pluck the strings. In this second level we'll make an all-out effort to keep the attacks of your notes very similar, given the fact that the pick and your fingers will inevitably never sound precisely the same. -
3Videos
Hybrid Picking Level 3
£14.99Hybrid picking makes it possible to blend pick and bare fingers to pluck the strings. The exercises in this third level include the economy picking and are technically demanding because they require an absolute efficiency in your right hand movements. -
7Videos
Legato Level 1
£14.99A good legato makes you play in a smooth and seamless fashion. Why should you learn a great legato technique? It's a powerful embellishment that gives a flowing sound to your music and it really makes your phrasing richer and deeper. In this first legato section, you'll find the foundations: the chromatic exercises. -

Legato Level 2
£14.99When you master a great legato technique, you literally make your guitar sing like a violin. This second level legato is developed on three notes per string scales. In case you need to revise the shapes, you can bounce back to the first legato level. -
7Videos
Legato Level 3
£14.99Third step in your progression to master the legato technique: the key for a smooth transition between your notes. In this third level, the exercises are based on two string patterns. -
13Videos
Legato Level 4
£14.99Let's face a new approach to the legato technique. We don't pick any notes here, not even at string changes. -
2Videos
Legato Level 5
£14.99Now we continue our legato technique progression with the study of hammer on from nowhere with scalar patterns. Unlike the previous legato levels, here we address licks directly applicable in a musical context. -
5Videos
Legato Level 6
£14.99In last level dedicated to the legato technique, we see how you play four notes arpeggios with the left hand only, combined with the hammer on from nowhere technique. -
4Videos
String Skipping Level 1
£14.99With string skipping you can play faster by literally jumping over strings. It also gives you more artistic variety as you can finally do better than playing up and down scales in your licks. In this first level, you will master triad arpeggios and achieve dexterity and fluidness. -
4Videos
String Skipping Level 2
£14.99String skipping is a great technique to play faster and break the routine of scaling up and down the strings. In this second level, you'll refine the four note arpeggios, so that you'll enrich your riffs and improve the accuracy of your picking hand. -
2Videos
Sweep picking Level 1
£14.99Let's getting started with the sweep picking. With this technique your pick moves following one single direction, like it's falling through the strings with a steady downstroke or upstroke motion. Very effective for playing one-note-per-string phrases, such as triad arpeggios. -
2Videos
Sweep Picking Level 2
£14.99The sweep picking allows you to play a series of notes on adjacent strings with a sweeping motion. You can play fluid and uniform arpeggios at high speed thanks to your pick travelling up and down through the strings. -
9Videos
Tapping Level 1
£14.99This is the first level on tapping technique. Tapping is about using your picking hand to do on the fretboard the hammer-ons and pull-offs that you would normally play with your fret hand. A great technique that any modern guitarist must know. -
5Videos
Tapping Level 2
£14.99The tapping note is nothing more than a hammer on and a pull off that is performed by a finger of the right hand. After becoming familiar with the basic mechanics of tapping from the previous level, let's see now how everything works on the pentatonic scales. -
4Videos
Tapping Level 3
£14.99Tapping allows you to play hammer-ons and pull-offs with your strumming or picking hand. In this third level, we gear up the difficulty level by applying the tapping technique to the G major scale with three notes per string. -
4Videos
Tapping Level 4
£14.99In this fourth section dedicated to tapping, we see how to perform three notes per string scales with hammer on from nowhere and tapping. -
11Videos
Tapping Level 5
£14.99With tapping, a string is set into vibration because of your picking hand's fingers pushing onto the fretboard. In this fifth level, we combine the technique of tapping and hammer on from nowhere to perform four note arpeggios, pentatonic scales and triads.
