Alternate Picking Masterclass

This Masterclass is an insight into Al's way of approaching the subject of alternate picking, as he guides you through his 'beat subdivision' practising method in order to increase your speed, accuracy, rhythmic awareness and both mental and physical stamina on the instrument.
