I know y'all want to master double picking so you can crush those riffs and licks by John Sykes (Whitesnake), Mastodon, Jake E Lee, and MORE, right?! Of course you do! Its flippin SIIIICK!!!! But... it can be TOUGH to learn if you're starting off with hyper speed Cynic or Mastodon riffs! THIS is where you should start... I'm gonna show you the technique, the perfect place to start with, and how to practice it and get it down! Still of the Night's middle section is the absolute BEST place to learn, and that's where we are starting.

Grab the TAB below, and snag the practice tracks I made!! On the tracks, concentrate on following those high hats with your double picking. Feel the groove, the way the downstrokes connect with the kick drum. Stay loose and do LESS! Lets go!!!

PLUS, stay tuned... I've got a bonus video coming up here in a few with even more double picked riffs you should learn. These are more advanced and get TOUGH!!! Yeah! Stay tuned!
