Clean Alternate Picking Routine

Build clean, accurate alternate picking from 90-120 BPM. 15-minute practice routine for guitarists.

Warm up at 70 BPM

Start with relaxed alternate picking and keep every note even before you raise the tempo.

Move through 90 and 100 BPM while keeping the pick stroke small and the sound consistent.

Try the 120 BPM push only after the slower blocks stay clean and controlled.

Open the interactive exercise, keep the first attempt manageable, and return to this page when you want to repeat the same setup.
