Fix the Tension That’s Killing Your Picking Speed

I remember sitting with my guitar, grinding alternate picking for hours and still wondering why it sounded tight one minute… and completely out of control the next.

Notes would blur together.
My wrist would tense up without me realizing it.
And the moment I tried to push the tempo, everything collapsed.

It was frustrating.
I was practicing hard, but I had no real confidence that I was improving. I didn’t know what was breaking down, where the tension was coming from, or why speed felt so unstable.

And that’s where most guitarists get stuck.
Fast enough to attempt the hard stuff, but never relaxed, clean, or consistent enough to make it sound good.

Does this sound familiar?

• You can play fast… but your hands fall apart when the tempo rises
• Your wrist tightens up the moment you try to push speed
• Extra string noise sneaks in no matter how careful you are
• You keep hitting the same speed ceiling over and over
• Fast playing feels stressful instead of controlled
• You practice a lot, but don’t know if it’s actually fixing the problem
• You know you need a clear system, not more random exercises

If so, you’re not alone.
I’ve been there too…
and that’s exactly why I built the 5-Step Anti-Tension Picking Blueprint.

This is a focused picking system built to fix the real problem behind speed plateaus: hidden tension and unstable wrist motion.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, tight, or unsure why fast picking falls apart, this gives you a clear, step-by-step roadmap to clean, relaxed speed.

Inside, you’ll finally build:

✅ Zero-Tension Picking Motion – Train a stable, relaxed wrist motion that holds up at any tempo.

✅ Safe Speed Exposure – Learn to visit fast tempos without locking up or panicking.

✅ Tension Awareness & Control – Detect exactly where tension creeps in and remove it before it kills speed.

✅ BPM Clarity – Identify your true speed thresholds so plateaus stop feeling random or mysterious.

✅ Stability Under Complexity – Stay relaxed while adding string changes, accents, and rhythmic variation.

Five targeted exercises.
Multiple tempos for each step.
No fluff. No guesswork.

Just precise picking workouts designed to retrain your technique where it actually breaks down.

This is how your picking goes from tense and unpredictable…
to fast, clean, and controlled, on purpose.

When I talk to frustrated guitarists, I hear the same story over and over.

They’ve put in the hours…
running scales, pushing the metronome, jumping between YouTube drills, yet real speed never seems to stick. Notes blur together. Timing wobbles. Hands fall out of sync. And the harder they try to force speed, the worse everything feels.

I know that feeling well, because I’ve been there myself.

And here’s the important part:
You’re not lazy.
You’re not untalented.
And you’re not “missing the gift.”

The problem is that most practice has no structure designed to remove tension and stabilize motion first. Without that foundation, speed will always collapse the moment you push it.

That’s why so many players stay stuck:

• ❌ You repeat exercises without knowing what they’re supposed to fix
• ❌ Tension creeps in as soon as the tempo rises
• ❌ Sloppy motion gets reinforced instead of corrected
• ❌ You never know what actually deserves your focus, so progress feels random

This is exactly what the 5-Step Anti-Tension Picking Blueprint was built to solve.

It gives you a clear, step-by-step path to retrain your picking motion, remove the tension that’s holding you back, and build speed that stays clean and controlled, on purpose.

When you join the 5-Step Anti-Tension Picking Blueprint, you’re not getting a pile of random exercises.

You’re getting a precision-built training system designed to retrain your picking motion, remove hidden tension, and lock in clean speed — step by step.

Everything is built to help you feel
and hear real progress immediately:

🎁 Step-By-Step Picking Workout Videos
Each step walks you through a specific picking drill with zero fluff, just focused execution. Every exercise is demonstrated at multiple tempos so you can start relaxed, expose speed safely, and stabilize your motion as the tempo increases.

🎁 Multi-Tempo Practice Structure (40 / 80 / 120 BPM)
Each exercise is mapped across controlled tempos to train consistency, timing, and relaxation, not just raw speed. This is what makes progress predictable instead of random.

🎁 PDF & Guitar Pro Practice Files
Every drill is fully notated so you always know exactly what to play. Use the PDFs for clean reference, or load the Guitar Pro files to loop, slow down, and isolate problem spots until your motion feels effortless.

🎁 Focused, No-Guesswork Training Flow
You’ll always know what to practice, why you’re practicing it, and what it’s meant to fix. No filler. No wasted reps. Just targeted work that builds on itself.

These aren’t generic drills.

They’re deliberate tools, designed to retrain your nervous system, stabilize your wrist motion, and turn fast picking from something stressful… into something controlled, clean, and reliable.

You’ve put in the hours, but the moment you try to push speed, everything starts to fall apart.

You know your playing should sound tighter and cleaner by now, yet your wrist locks up, notes blur together, and the same speed ceiling keeps showing up no matter how much you practice.

If that sounds familiar, this was built for you.

✅ You’re tired of practicing a lot but not knowing if it’s actually working

✅ You want fast picking to feel clean and controlled, not stressful or forced

✅ Your hands fall out of sync when tempos rise

✅ Tension shows up the moment you try to play faster

✅ You want a clear, focused system instead of guessing what to practice

This is not for players who are satisfied staying where they are.

It’s for guitarists who want to remove tension at the source, stabilize their picking motion, and finally make speed feel reliable, not fragile.

I see so many guitarists lose years repeating the same habits, wondering why their picking never gets faster or cleaner.

They bounce between random drills, keep pushing the metronome, and tense up every time the tempo rises… only to sound exactly the same month after month.

• ❌ Jumping between exercises with no clear structure
• ❌ Pushing speed before the motion is stable
• ❌ Letting tension creep in instead of training relaxed control
• ❌ Practicing past small breakdowns that slowly sabotage accuracy

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If you keep practicing this way, nothing changes.

You’ll sound the same a year from now, just as tight, just as unstable, just as frustrated.

But the moment you train with a system designed to remove tension first and stabilize motion step by step, everything shifts.

Your hands start working together.
Your picking feels lighter and more controlled.

And speed stops feeling fragile,
because it’s finally built on the right foundation.

“Bernth’s course broke me out of boxes and gave me real freedom. My improvisation finally flows.” — Alex M.

“The picking mechanics made everything cleaner. I sound faster AND more musical now.” — Daniel K.

“This system gave me confidence. I know what to practice, and I actually hear progress every day.” — Chris R.

Go through the entire 5-Step Anti-Tension Picking Blueprint and put the exercises to work in your own playing.

If you don’t feel more relaxed, cleaner, and in control of your picking within 7 days, just email us and you’ll get a full refund. No hassle. No questions asked.

You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain by finally fixing the tension that’s been holding your speed back.

Here’s the truth most players never hear:

Speed alone won’t fix your playing.
Practicing harder won’t fix it either.
And more random YouTube drills definitely won’t fix it.

What does work is a step-by-step system that removes tension first, stabilizes your picking motion, and builds clean speed and synchronization together, not separately.

That’s how speed stops falling apart.
That’s how control becomes reliable.
And that’s exactly what the 5-Step Anti-Tension Picking Blueprint is designed to do.
