Fire and Ice Alternate Picking Exercise
This video is at normal speed.
In the next 3 videos, I broke this Fire and Ice passage down into the 3 shapes you’ll use to play it.
Each video focuses on one shape, so you can get comfortable with the fingering across the fretboard.
This section of the song is basically built from these 3 shapes.
For the next videos, your job is to practice each shape until the pattern feels natural.
The rest of the lick uses the same 3 shapes, just moved to different positions on the neck.
