Fingerstyle Guitar — Week 3 — Day 17
2026-07-29 ke
Builds on: Day 10’s ladder and its logged tempo; Day 15 and Day 16 clean at 60.
Good for: the Week 3 milestone: p-i-m-a clean at ~80 bpm. Same rule as before — speed is graduated, never grabbed.
Rule: 3 clean passes to climb a rung; one stumble drops you back one rung.
- Warmup — 2 min
- Slow pass (3 min): p-i-m-a over C – Am – Dm at 50 bpm — flawless, full tone
- Climb (3 min): same rotation: 66 → 72 → 76 → 80 by the rule
- New patterns (3 min): pinch pattern and p-i-p-m-p-a at 60 → 66 by the rule
- Cooldown (3 min): back to 60 — roomy
- Fretboard +5 min — F (day 1/3)
Log your highest clean tempo in Notes. If 80 didn’t fall today, that’s what Days 20–21 are for.
*fingering on bar 5 depends if you are ”going up” or ”going down”
