EXE-13 Coordinating both hands

/in /by

About this lesson plan

If your student has trouble coordinating their picking and fretting hands, this lesson will help you solve the problem. Each exercise works their coordination in different ways. By the end the student will be able to seamlessly play through the exercises without 'tripping up' on the string or playing muted notes. In addition to developing the student's coordination, the exercises also help the student think about creating their own licks. Having exercises that can be used in a musical way is key to developing as a musician.

This lesson plan will help your student:

  • Develop their coordination
  • Practice playing along with a metronome
  • Think about extending licks up and down a scale
  • Think about taking an idea and using it to create their own licks

About this lesson

This lesson contains a few exercises you can use to teach your student sweep picking. Use this material along with TEC-06 Sweep Picking and you'll have everything you need to teach the basics of the technique. These exercises focus on simple arpeggios across three strings. Once your student can easily play these arpeggios they can then move on to learn arpeggios across four or more strings. The whole idea with these exercises is to get your student used to the picking motion. Most beginners have trouble adjusting how they use the pick when playing sweep picking. The included lesson instructions will help you explain the proper technique.
