This alternate + sweep picking workout is harder than Castlevania!!!
.... ok maybe not THAT hard, lets be realistic. But it is rad and it SOUNDS like something that would be on the OST, so there is that!
Combining techniques in your workouts is imperative if you wanna become a MORE BETTER SHREDDER, and this one is a perfect example of how you can do it! Your Uncle Ben Eller here came up with this one to combine your scalar and arpeggio playing into a challenging workout that sounds sick, too. Grab thine sharpest axe and get cracking!!!
Playing my EBMM JP15 into the Axe FX 3. I like things that are nice.
