Downpicking Workout for Metal Guitarists (Palm Muting & Speed Exercise)

Welcome to Guitar Speed Trainer — an educational guitar training series.
In this lesson, you’ll practice speed, precision, and synchronization with a focused play-along exercise.

Ready to build power, precision, and control in your right hand?
This downpicking play-along exercise will help you develop tight rhythm playing through two essential techniques:
✔️ Palm muting control — mute all 16th notes for a crushing metal tone
✔️ Pick angle optimization — reduce resistance and improve speed
We’ll lock in on an E5 power chord and gradually increase the tempo from 60 to 120 BPM.
Focus on consistency, control, and clean execution — and don’t forget to stay tight with the backing track!

🧠 How to use this exercise:
• Start slow and focus on clarity
• Increase tempo gradually with a metronome
• Aim for relaxed, even alternate picking
