STEP 1 — CHECK YOUR EMAIL

Your confirmation email has direct links to everything: workshop replay, TAB + Exercise Pack, and practice workbook. If it is not in your inbox within 5 minutes, check spam or promotions.

STEP 2 — WATCH THE FULL WORKSHOP (ONCE, START TO FINISH)

Do not pause to practice along. Watch it through once so you understand the full system before you pick up your bass. The workshop is ~90 minutes. You will play during the second watch or when you start the 7-day plan.

One exception: during the muting section, do the stop-test along with the demo. Play one note. Stop. Listen. That is the only hands-on moment on first watch.

STEP 3 — SET UP FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Before you play:

Tuning: Standard E

Pick: 0.8mm or thicker recommended

Metronome: Set to 80 BPM

Tone: Clean and clear — no hiding behind distortion

Phone: Propped where you can see your hands (you will record a clip)

STEP 4 — RECORD YOUR HEAVY PICK TEST

This is your "before" clip. Record 3 takes of the workshop loop at 80 BPM. If 80 feels shaky, record at 70. A clean 70 beats a messy 80.

Pass = 2 clean takes out of 3. Even attack. Clean stops. Quiet crossings. No tension artifacts.

Save it. You will compare this to your Day 7 recording.

STEP 5 — START THE 7-DAY PLAN

Open the practice workbook. Follow the plan. 12–15 minutes a day. No extras.

If the full loop is too much on Day 1, the workbook has an integration mini-loop with training wheels — same skills, more space.

Follow the difficulty ladder. Do not skip ahead.

On Day 7, re-record the Heavy Pick Test. Compare to your first clip.

The difference is audible.

WHAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO:

Workshop replay — watch as many times as you need (lifetime access)

TAB + Exercise Pack — 5 progressive exercises, 2 loop variants, wrong vs. right self-diagnosis reference

Practice Workbook — 7-day plan (12–15 min/day), difficulty ladder, self-check prompts

The "what failed first?" framework — grip, endings, or crossings, with a 60-second reset for each

IF SOMETHING BREAKS

When the loop falls apart, do not restart from scratch. Name what failed first:

Grip failed first → loosen, breathe, smaller motion

Endings failed first → stop-test drill (silence on command)

Crossings failed first → isolate crossings slow, "mute first, then move"

60 seconds. Then back in.

YOUR COMPLETION STATEMENT

By the end of the 7-day plan, you should be able to say this honestly:

"I can create consistent heavy attack, control my note endings, and keep string crossings quiet, on command."

That is the win. A recording proves it.
