Yeah, Tom is the man 🙂 My favorite post of his is this one: > [@Efficient Digital Cycles](https://forum.troygrady.com/t/efficient-digital-cycles/18608): > > I have been preparing a post about the left hand postures and fretting strategies I use in my playing, after reading through the following thread: That promised post is still in preparation, and I will present it when I’m satisfied with it. In preparing that post, I watched through several instructional videos and CTC interviews again. While re-watching Shawn Lane’s Power Licks for the first time in a while, I realized something about his fretting sequences that I felt was extremely interes… And he has some videos that go into more details here: > [@The Fastest Lane - Video Lessons on Efficient Fretting Mechanics in Shawn Lane's "Power Licks"](https://forum.troygrady.com/t/the-fastest-lane-video-lessons-on-efficient-fretting-mechanics-in-shawn-lanes-power-licks/42471): > > It was suggested by our moderator @tommo that I come up with a title that more clearly reflected the content of my posts so they may be found more easily in future and which which may draw some more attention. The title I’ve come up with feels like clickbait to me, but I think it serves those ends specifically. I hope the content merits the lofty title. I present a series of videos on the concept of Efficient Digital Cycles, which is a principle I’ve discovered which underlies most of Shawn Lan… Once you get those postures feeling comfortable I’m sure the concept of efficient digital cycles will unlock some great speed for you. Paired with all of Troy’s groundbreaking work, none of us have any excuses for playing slow any more 🙂 well, unless there is some physical injury of course. Otherwise, freak speeds are available to the masses now. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.troygrady.com/t/hammer-ons-from-2nd-to-4th-finger-3nps-context/53802)._
