The Synchronicity Seminar guides you through the ascending hammer-ons in it’s videos but I haven’t seen any tips about the descending pull-off patterns even though that’s half the mega-tab provided in the seminar. Also the seminar is about the picking speed and legato is introduced as a concept to help the picking speed with the idea that if you can play it with legato then you can pick it. But the whole seminar focuses on just the legato and never talks about how we reintroduce the pick into this legato playing to make it picked instead of it being legato.
Right now I have decent picking speed and the ascending hammer-ons feel very comfortable, so do ascending licks. But I am still far behind after this course regarding descending lines. I’m not expecting instant changes in my playing but this training routine seems very incomplete, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to get out of it. Am I supposed to stick with the very slow tempos until it naturally speeds up as I try to make it faster and faster for the pull-offs? Right now it is very sluggish compared to the hammer-ons and it feels like I have no control. And how and when am I supposed to reintroduce the pick instead of the legatos?
