Description

Master hand synchronization with Synchronicity, our in-depth seminar built from decades of Cracking the Code testing and teaching.

Is your picking faster than your fretting? Is your fretting faster than your picking? Do fast phrases sound uneven, rushed, or disconnected even when each hand seems capable on its own?

That’s what Synchronicity is designed to solve.

Instead of guessing which hand is the problem, you’ll learn how to test both hands, identify where the mismatch is coming from, and build phrases that feel locked-in at speed.

You’ll also learn why synchronization is not just metronome practice. Great players can speed up, slow down, and float over the beat while keeping the hands connected. Synchronicity shows how that works through organized picking and fretting patterns you can actually practice.

Inside the seminar:

  • 58 sequenced lessons
  • 3 musical etudes in Latin, Jazz, and Rock styles
  • 32 curated rudiments for generating focused practice ideas
  • A structured framework for troubleshooting hand synchronization

Synchronicity is for players whose fast lines feel uneven, disconnected, or unreliable — especially when ordinary practice has not solved the problem.

Watch the introductory section on the seminar page to see if it is right for you.
