Thank you, Tommo & Troy. The previews look great!
If I pay as a one-off download, will I get updates, or are there other seminars coming out as seperate releases? thanks!

Yes if you buy the Synchronicity seminar now, youāll get access to all the future Synchronicity lessons as soon as they come out. However, a future seminar on a different topic (not part of Synchronicity itself) would be a separate purchase.
Let me know if I understood the question correctly and if my answer makes sense

Hi @tommo is there a recommended practise plan/routine? Like combine the rudiments and praxtise to some point and add back in the metronome or sth like that?

I like to think that the seminar will provide something more valuable than that
The focus of the seminar is not on prescribing specific exercises or routines, but itās about developing effective self-testing and problem-solving strategies.
Across the 40+ lessons, weāll try to give you the tools to evaluate your own playing (from the point of view of hand sync), and figure out:
- if there is a problem to solve in the first place, and what type of problem
- how to develop and test possible solutions
Example: a certain pattern XYZ sounds sloppy / uncoordinated, or you canāt figure out how to play it fast.
First, youāll need to figure out what the problem is:
Is it a picking problem?
Is it a fretting hand problem?
Is it a synchronization problem?
Is it a timing problem?
Etc. Etc.
And for each of these, what is the problem exactly? What changes are immediately available to you to try and get a better result? How do you test/measure if you actually got a better result?
And so on 
Feel free to ask more questions because I realize these ideas can be hard to convey clearly.

really good shit. Iām a jazzer, but this is awesome.
Thank you!!!
We tried to make the course as genre-agnostic as possible. The shapes and patterns we teach in the course should be applicable to pretty much any genre or style. Among other things, the three etudes are there to demonstrate this very idea
Well we all have the same 4 fingers, except Djangoā¦
@tommo Just wondering, are you familiar with the Miles Okizaki book āFundamentals Of Guitarā? Itās never been mentioned on this forum. Itās fairly far-out in certain ways but is also really intelligently done.
He has a whole thing on pick rudiments, thatās why Iām asking. You might find it interesting. Might as in I think you would!
He has an interesting pick technique/sound. Itās sort of the opposite of smooth to me, the sound is very earthy and rough but also articulate. It suits his music perfectly. Hard to explain but itās like if you combined Charlie Patton with John McLaughlin or something. He plays a variety of music in the ājazzā idiom, plays a lot of avant garde kinda stuff but also can play really legit bebop and crazy time signatures and whatever else.
Anyway, the book is interesting.
