New fretboard confidence
I have been using Levi's practice routines for some time now. It has given me a new way to look at the fretboard, giving me more confidence when improvising.

Inside the course
A primer, then 9 routines
Each lesson adds a finger or a motion, then you play along with Levi at a slow and a fast tempo.
- 9routines
- 17play-along videos
- 3+hours
- 01
Routine 1 · Slow + fast
Pick and middle finger
The hand stays planted, the pick moves less and the middle finger plucks. It all sits on one C chord, so your attention stays on the picking hand.
- 02
Routine 2 · One tempo
Chord progression
The same motion goes through a moving chord progression, so it holds up when the harmony and string sets change.
- 03
Routine 3 · Slow + fast
Pinch technique
Pick and finger sound together. Triad shapes, string skips and double stops, with the top note singing over the bottom one.
- 04
Routine 4 · Slow + fast
"Alternate picking"
Scales and arpeggios with only the pick and middle finger, so the technique works for whole lines, not one lick.
- 05
Routine 5 · Slow + fast
Adding the ring finger
Three-string pinches and double stops. The fingers rest on their strings and the hand closes into them instead of lifting off.
- 06
Routine 6 · Slow + fast
The forward roll
Pick, middle and ring in one rolling motion, through position shifts, triplets and a piece of a Bach cello prelude.
- 07
Routine 7 · Slow + fast
Travis picking
A steady alternating bass with the pick and a melody on top with the fingers, mixing pinches with forward and reverse rolls.
- 08
Routine 8 · Slow + fast
Adding the pinky
Wider chord voicings and rhythm parts, from Keith Richards style riffs to bossa-inspired comping.
- 09
Routine 9 · Slow + fast
Putting it all together
Country and blues licks with triplets, double stops and quick switches between picked and plucked notes.

What guitarists say about Guided Practice Routines
From guitarists working through Levi's guided routines every week.
Dave HausnerOregon, USA · GPR memberComplex concepts made simple
He breaks down complex concepts in rhythm, melody and harmony into simple, clear lessons, making it easy to see how musicians find their sound.
Stephen LaffertyBelgium · GPR memberIncredible value and insight
Leave no stone unturned is a fitting expression to describe Levi's teaching. His own playing is both motivating and inspirational, and it's a real bargain for the price.
Chris MullinVermont, USA · GPR memberConnecting theory to play
As a guitarist of over 30 years, I've always struggled to connect theory and technique. Since starting Levi's guided practice routines, I'm now making real progress translating my musical ideas to the fretboard.
Kevin BlandingConnecticut, USA · GPR memberReignited my passion
GPR didn't just fine-tune my technique, it flipped my entire approach, helping me unlearn bad habits and explore new genres. In months, my picking and timing improved, and my passion for practice came back.
Jimmy Kane AlfordEngland · GPR memberEfficient, immersive practice
Levi's guided practice routines are an efficient and immersive way to practice. The short, focused sessions with Guitar Pro files and backing tracks make it easy to improve your timing and phrasing.

Common questions
Before you start
Who is this course for?
Any player who can hold a pick and play a few chords. The first routines stay on one C chord, so all the work goes to the picking hand, and the later ones build up to Travis picking and full licks.
Is hybrid picking only for country?
No. You hear it all over country, but also in fusion, rock and modern guitar. The last routine uses country and blues licks. Everything before it is picking-hand control you can use in any style.
Do I need long nails?
No. Nails or the flesh of your fingers both work, and Levi covers it in the primer. Your fingertips need a little time to get used to plucking steel strings, so keep the first sessions short.
How is the course structured?
A short primer on hand position, then 9 lessons. Each lesson comes with a play-along routine at a slow and a fast tempo (routine 2 has one), plus Guitar Pro and PDF tab and backing tracks.
What are the access and refund terms?
Buy the course once and it's yours for life, with Guitar Pro and PDF tab and backing tracks to download. You're covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee: email us within 14 days and you get a full refund.
