Here’s a nice pentatonic pattern inspired by the masters Joe Bonamassa and Eric Johnson that I’m using to try and imagine a more relaxed and fluid picking movement…

  7. Thanks that’s a nice exercise. I’m going to add that into my routine. One thing I like to do that may help combat the rushing is to actually up the tempo but play as ⅛ notes. More clicks helps me lock it in. Once that is comfortable I try a triplet feel. Then I usually have to turn it back down to do 1/16 notes. Whenever I’m practicing scales etc I always run it through all the gears. Got the “changing gears” technique from Lead Guitar Workshop. Thanks again!

  11. OMG….I've been putting myself through hardship all these years for nothing! I was doing these exercises, and I suddenly noticed your fingering… I've been squeezing my hands in order to use my pinky for reasons I can only explain as I must have forced myself to do that years ago trying to build pinky-strength, and now that's actually slowing me down a great deal further down the neck…ugh! Meanwhile, you're fingering makes way more sense…especially with the chunky mitts I have. Ok, well, time to unlearn what I have learned, Master Yoda…er, Cordy. 🤯

  12. Thanks mate. Thats a great pattern. tried it out this evening, very slow. Will transcribe it into Guitar Pro tomorrow (just for me) and start to drill the hell out of it. But will always try to stay relaxed. Or like Tomo-san usually says: "Don't expect too fast, be kind to yourself"

  21. Hi John, just a stupid question but very important for me… i am working on your exercise but you use your middle finger to play on the 14th fret on the first part of the exercise. I am used to use the ring finger to play on the 14th fret. Do you recommend me to use the same fingering than you ? by the way, your guitar playing is very musical and inspiring
