Hey kids, its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller!!! One of the questions i get asked the most is how do we improve our alternate picking speed... i'm here to tell you, its not about the marathons, its about the sprints! Speed bursts are THE way to build picking hand speed while also reducing tension and learning to stay relaxed!
With that in mind, i've made an awesome chromatic workout package for you all to follow along with. 1/2 is 16th notes, 1/2 is triplets. Run this workout every day and i swear your picking hand will reach new heights FAST!!!

Just make your "daily routine" a "3-times a day routine". Improves alternate picking technique 1000%. Muscle memory, you know!
I've been doing this every day for about three months. It has made a WORLD of difference. I've played for 35+ years and have always had issues with my picking speed and clarity. This has helped incredibly! Thank you Uncle Ben!
the ANXIETY exercise 😰
My name is Sum Yung Wang. This exercise helped me lose 200lbs of fat, regrow hair, get a sweet job and fly. Thanks Uncle Bob 👍
Now that I am about to hit the stepdad age of 70, these workouts are making me play like the young stud I was in high school! Your Patreon is so awesome too
Or you can just play One by Metallica over and over.
Congrats on 400k subs! So well deserved 🤘
The chuck schuldiner guitar looks pretty cool on that top
For reals: I have learned so much since subbing here. Thanks for another great exercise and for pointing out the rotating wrist picking thing: I don’t know how I never put two and two together but that is absolutely an issue for me to correct now that I am aware of it.

There are certain people in this world who are meant to teach and spread knowledge. You are definitely one of those individuals. This channel deserves way more attention that it gets. I learn more from this channel than any other CZcams guitarist and I don't play any metal at all.
You’re my favorite CZcams I’ve followed almost all of your videos and it has helped me soooo drastically! I have made light years of progress in the last 3 years! Because of you! Thanks uncle Ben!
You made those exercises sound so cool! What a concept. Making boring patterns and exercises sound musical. Which is really the whole point anyway. Great stuff.
The Punisher Exercise you once showed helped me improving my technique so much. Before that i couldn't do Alternate picking and had Handsync issues.
Excellent point about mindfulness and taking inventory of how we may be tensing up. It's been through your exercises I've begun to notice how I tense up in a couple ways; how long into the exercise and where on the fretboard. Thx ZomBen!
That conscious relaxing thing.. actually smooths out the picking immediately. Good exercise for that as well.
Brilliant idea.
Great lesson as always Ben! Congrats on 400k!!
Uncle Ben... I don’t think you realize just how good of a teacher you are...your guitar abilities aside, you have a natural God given talent to teach...it’s quite impressive...thanks so much and rock on my brother!!!
it's good to know there are exercises out there that are efficient yet simple, stuff like that held me back from practicing since i picked up this instrument :|
