The Precision Technique

dozens of books and classes that I’ve tried. It is a brilliant approach.

xperienced shredders skill set. Robert wants us to be able to bar fast melodies cleanly and sync up our right and left hand perfectly and I'm all for it. Cant wait to dive in further.

ne short figure up and down the neck: while each exercise might have a particular focus (-shifting positions with the first finger, or crossing several strings, giving the pinky a real workout) they all involve the integration of several aspects of technique. Beyond the Wohlfahrt exercises, Conti adds six of his own that focus on moving up and down the neck, double stops, and a few other goodies. Make no mistake, work is required. But unlike other material on technique I have tried (and tried) this material rewards work with real results because the material delivers the goods: vastly improved technique! Thank you, Robert Conti!

tension, size, and spacing. But (since I mostly play the jazzbox) I was not doing the exercises on my classical guitar. After only a week of work splitting my "PT Time" between both guitars, I now find after playing my jazzbox, if pick up the classical and simply play one of the exercises I know one time (have worked through 3 of them so far), it is like I have been playing the classical all day! I thought that Mr. Conti might be interested in this different use for PT. It is useful even though I don't use a pick and it is most useful in helping me move between guitars quickly. Great Stuff!

was amazed to hear you say that you used the 0.038 Dunlop nylon pick, because I've been using Jazz III picks or the moral equivalent for years. Not wanting to be close-minded, especially after seeing your demonstrations and hearing your arguments in favor of a thin pick, I decided to give it a try. By the third day of steady practice, it produced the first real breakthrough in my picking technique in twenty years, so I felt obliged to write and say thanks. I've been pushing speed limits that were not possible before. For me, just going 110 is a breakthrough, and I've been touching 120. I have gotten to like the Dunlop .046 nylon pick because it's light enough to eliminate the accursed bounce that you describe and demonstrate on The Precision Technique, but there's enough impact for a good dynamic range. I found .038 a little too soft, but I may change my mind. Anyway, don't want to take all day to explain this -- I think your DVDs are outstanding, and I really enjoy them. You not only know what you know, but you know what the audience DOESN'T know, and you take the time to anticipate their misunderstandings and clear them up. That's the mark of a great teacher.

. For example some country western, latin and others. I wish I would've found Mr. Conti's books ten or fifteen years ago. Needless to say I am glad I found them I now I am playing some real "cool" lines; and yes I am understanding them too. Thanks again Bob!!!
