We shift our focus to legato and fretting-hand technique with hammer-ons, muting control, and intervallic 3rds across CAGED shapes. These exercises build strength, fluidity, and fretboard awareness while reinforcing musical phrasing through connected motion.
We expand fretboard fluency by combining hammer-ons, rhythmic displacement, and arpeggio sequencing across CAGED shapes. Through patterns like 3 2 1 3 and the “monster” sequence, we develop strength, precision, and a deeper connection between technique and musical phrasing.
This week we hit pause to reflect, reconnect with the material, and reassess our progress across 35 routines. Using triads from Signed, Sealed, Delivered as a musical anchor, we’re reminded that practice is about depth, not speed—and real growth comes from truly knowing, not just doing.
This week’s routine continues our work in C major, shifting to a higher position and leaning into legato technique. Starting with a simple idea, the workout quickly evolves into a demanding study in three-note-per-string phrasing, precision, and endurance. It’s not about speed—it’s about timing, tone, and clean execution.
