My friends, today I want to show you a NEW game-changing workout approach - hope this will have as big as an effect on your playing as it did on mine!

Download the new Upstroke Mastery Package here (tabs, guitar pro, full workouts, play-along videos, backing tracks): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mt4lVqENliAqnpwrt04m2x_pqAtjvq4h?usp=sharing

When you think of alternate picking as a consecutive combination of downstrokes and upstrokes, it makes a lot of sense to work on the weaker movement - so this will not just improve your upstrokes, it will have big effects on your alternate picking as well.

P.S.: Here's a Dropbox folder in case Google Drive doesn't work for you: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/wqp5q8uxx6jwm6qp9r0m0/AIqZfrLzbl8AOinT7ph9TIo?rlkey=tgh68khpfxj36nwgla6hvjbmu&st=cqep5u1q&dl=0
