About The Fives Series
Fives is a series that will teach you how to play quintuplets in many different variations. This is your chance to master some expressive melodic ideas that are rarely played by most guitarists.
Practicing groups of five will dramatically increase your picking technique.
Picking technique can be divided and categorized into several individual movements and groups of movements. You have to master each one of these situations to have a fast picking technique. Fives introduce a different picking situation than what you’re used to with sextuplets or sixteenth notes. This is why they’re so useful in developing a mastery of all picking situations.
