LEFT HAND OVERVIEW

Left Hand Overview

This section focuses entirely on left-hand technique, covering bending, vibrato, legato, muting and synchronisation. Ben breaks everything down to core fundamentals, explaining how expressive control, feel and articulation are just as important as speed or technical playing.

STRING BENDING OVERVIEW

String Bending Overview

Ben introduces string bending as one of the most expressive parts of the guitar, focusing on pitch control, intonation, vibrato and feel. This section starts from the fundamentals, showing how bending can become a huge part of your sound and why it deserves focused practice.

Static 7 Positions

Ben says this stage is about learning all seven three-note-per-string positions as individual shapes, not just as one long pattern. The aim is to practise them statically, memorise how each shape feels under the fingers, and understand how they connect across the neck. Ben explains that this groundwork can feel repetitive, but it is what builds the freedom to move around the fretboard, improvise, write melodies, and eventually play over changes without getting lost.

Free Roaming & Universal Exercise

Ben introduces a free-roaming practice exercise where the goal is to keep alternate picking going continuously while moving around the neck through three-note-per-string shapes. Rather than repeating fixed patterns, Ben uses this to connect positions, expose weak spots, and build real control between both hands. It is not about sounding polished. It is about staying in key, recovering when mistakes happen, and gradually learning to move freely across the fretboard without stopping.

The Forbidden Exercise

Ben ends this section with the “perfect crossover” exercise, a tough but useful pattern that links three-note-per-string playing into two-note-per-string ideas. He sees it as an important final building block because it develops string crossing, picking control, and rhythmic feel, even if it is a cliché pattern. The goal is not just speed, but using these sequences to expose weak spots and build the technical foundation needed for more advanced playing.
