This course includes the following 5 units

Unit 1

Level 1 Workout

Our first workout session is all about getting you used to how our guitar gym section works. We take 3 relatively simple exercises and play them through at three speeds, getting faster each time!

Unit 2

Level 2 Workout

Each workout increases in difficulty and this workout is a big step up from the first. We tackle pentatonic exercises, take our spider exercise across the entire neck and increase the top speed by 10BPM.

Unit 3

Level 3 Workout

In this guitar gym session we increase the amount of time you are 'working out' for to really test your endurance! We add more new exercises, including a string skipping exercise and an arpeggio exercise! We also increase the top speed by 20BPM!

Unit 4

Level 4 Workout

We step things up again by pushing the top speed up to 160BPM, 20 above the previous guitar gym. We also start a lot faster and add new legato based exercise to ensure that you are practicing your hammer ons and pull offs properly!

Unit 5

Level 5 Workout

This is the top level of the beginners guitar gym, so make sure you have completed all other 4 levels before tackling this! We go way up to 180BPM (4th notes) and add in your final exercises to make for a pretty intense guitar gym session.
