Warp Three: The Most Important Guitar Practice Speed

Troy Grady Guide 8 months ago

Description

Warp Three is a powerful guitar practice speed, but it's not a number. It's the speed at which your technique becomes *realistic* for the higher speed you are targeting. It's contextually-dependent: it's different for different techniques, phrases, and practice activities. This is not hand-waving. In this lesson, we'll learn exactly how to determine when Warp Three occurs, minus the fancy theory. We'll use dead-simple video examples that anyone can follow, even if you''ve never seen a pick in slow motion before. Buckle up – this is a longer one – but it's important.
