Calling back to the last legato workout Jared did, this is an expansion on those basic essential shapes but now they're all mixed up/combined! Again this ones great for players of all skill levels to really dial in that left hand technique!

Where were going, we don't need.....picks....
Well I guess you can use your pick....but you're definitely going to have to use some extra fingers as well for this one, have fun!

Heyo!
It’s been a while! Things have been pretty busy over here at the office.
Last week, we all went down to the NAMM show in Anaheim! We saw so much sick gear, met tons of cool people, and just had an all-around great time. (We also took a small detour to Disneyland.) We’ve got lots of videos coming out from the trip!
Anyway, enough of me yapping! Let’s revisit what’s happened over the past couple o...
2025-02-03 01:26:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a run that Jared's been playing for a VERY LONG TIME! It's really sweet you should play it RIGHT NOW!
Get those fingers movin'!

Recently I went to Anaheim, California to find out the answer to one burning question: Do I have the smallest hands at NAMM 2025? I hope you'll enjoy my research...

Follow along with this fun little pull off warm up that Stephen Taranto likes to do. If it's good enough for him it's good enough for us!
-Matt
2025-01-29 21:39:15 +0000 UTC View PostAyyy! This is a more beginner friendly video that takes you through some very simple, yet very important shapes for legato playing! Even if you're already a legato wizard, this is still a great video for re-visiting some of the foundations of your playing!
-Matt
2025-01-25 17:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a slick little lick that constantly switches time signatures, and one that Stephen usually plays REALLY FAST! We don't play it nearly as fast as him in this workout but it's super fun, maybe YOU can play it like Stephen 👀

In this workout, Jared's going to show you a few basic shapes across a bunch of strings, and use not 1...but 2 FINGERS to tap with!

Gather 'round, my fine fellows and gentlefolk, and journey with me into the hirsute wilderness, where the thick, bristly facial hair of one of metal's finest guitarists reigns supreme. We shall traverse the dense forest of his formidable beard, a veritable thicket of tangled glory, and uncover the secrets hidden within its shadowy depths.
Or whatever
Thanks

This is one of those "easy to learn, difficult to master" kind of licks. It's super fun and it sounds super sick, especially when you start to speed it up and come up with your own variations!

I'm hella back and I started using the word hella lately and no one has said anything so I guess I am getting away with it.
Anyway this hella sick Protest the Hero riff was cool, please enjoy.

2025-01-12 20:21:38 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a nice and easy tapping workout for those who may be new to the technique! It stays on one shape the entire time...but the subdivision is constantly switching between 1/8th notes and triplets
Improve your tapping rhythm control in this one!
-Matt
2025-01-11 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostYou read that right, the classic tapping lick we all know is now alternate picked. Stephen Taranto is a wild man. This is the first of 5 workouts inspired by Stephen, these will definitely dial in your picking hand!
Have Fun!

Hey there, Patrons!
We’ve got some exciting updates, fresh content, and a sneak peek at what’s coming next. Let’s dive in!
What happened last week??
🔥 2 New Workouts! 🔥
1️⃣ Jared’s Newest 2-String Per Octave Bass Workout
This workout is perfect for building precision and speed across the fretboard. Give it a try!
In this workout you're gonna take the patterns you learned in the "2 String Arpeggios" video and put them all over the fretboard! This is a great workout as well as writing tool that will spice up both bass and guitar parts.
