Phase 1 · Day 2. Same drill, listen harder

Exercise 3. Picking

high e string only. Frets 1 to 12 and back, one finger per fret, shifting the hand every four (1-2-3-4, shift, 5-6-7-8, shift, 9-10-11-12). Four notes per click. Strict alternate picking. One pass = up and down.

Pass rule

A full pass with every note the same volume and no missed pick stroke. Three clean passes in a row: press +5. Any miss: stay. Write the BPM you end on in the log.
