Coordination
Hello Everybody,
Welcome back ! 😉
As you know, in the last lesson we talked about how to optimize our daily “workout” on the guitar.
Today I’m going to talk about guitar technique and in particular the coordination of the right hand and the left hand.
That’s often an underrated subject, but it is one of the first things that I face with my students in my “GUITARlab Membership” .
Have proper coordination also means having:
1 ) Better sound
2 ) Improved accuracy
3 ) Increased relax when you play
If we have proper coordination, our touch will be more accurate, and the energy of our picking will be controlled by a more thoughtful movement.
Consequently, it improves the sound thanks to a less “random” touch.
Being relaxed is crucial to express better what we want to say, especially when we play live, where we already have to manage the tensions related to the “Live” factor.
What to do?
I transcribed a couple of exercises that I hope you will find useful to improve your basic technique.
Start very slowly (70-80bpm)! To do this, it doesn’t matter to go fast! Let’s worry, especially about the precision of movement and touch.
You’ll find a version with alternate picking and a version with pull-off and hammer-on.
Exercise 1 (with Hammer On & Pull Off)
Exercise 2 (with Hammer On & Pull Off)
If you have any questions, you can always email me at info@davidepannozzo.com
I hope to be helpful! See you next lesson!
Best wishes,
Davide Pannozzo

Davide Pannozzo
Davide Pannozzo has been described by critics as one of the most interesting artist’s of contemporary Blues guitar. His style is very much his own with splashes of Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.
“There are very few artists these days that can inspire and are filled with inspiration and great ideas, Davide Pannozzo is one of them. When you first hear his music you know there is something special going on…”
