SPEED / TREMOLO PICKING TRAINING PROGRAM

A structured system based on progressive overload to help you push your picking speed to your maximum.

​This program gives you clear direction on where to start, how to progress, and what to do when you get stuck—so you can keep improving over time.

​What This Program Does

​This is not a collection of exercises.

This is a progressive training system designed to develop:
  • Maximum picking speed
  • Endurance at high speeds
  • Consistency and control

​The goal is to remove guesswork and give you a clear path forward.

How It Works

The program is built around the principle of progressive overload.

You start with short, manageable bursts of notes, then gradually increase difficulty by adding more notes and pushing higher speeds.

Structured “testing speeds” are used to:
  • Identify your current limit
  • Pinpoint where you need to focus
  • Guide you toward the next level

​This allows you to push your speed in a controlled and repeatable way.

What’s Included

  • Structured progression system with defined steps
  • Multiple checkpoints to identify where to focus
  • Guitar Pro files for all material
  • Video demonstrations for proper execution
  • Ongoing additions as the program expands   

​Example from the Program

​Why This Works

Most players either:
  • Jump straight into long, continuous picking before building control with shorter bursts
  • Or push speed too early, leading to sloppy playing

Both lead to stalled progress.

This program gives you the right amount of material at the right level, so you’re always working just beyond your comfort zone.

​Each step is designed to help you:
  • Identify exactly what to work on
  • Avoid wasted practice time
  • Continue progressing without guessing
