Here’s What’s Inside Technique for Metalheads
Our Three-Part Mechanic-Building System
We keep it simple: a clear blueprint you can follow consistently to make the most of your practice and keep progressing. Develop both hands individually, then bring them together.
Picking Hand
Develop the mechanics behind down picking, alternate picking, sweep picking, hybrid picking, and more. Build the speed and stamina needed to tackle complex riffs and solos with control.
Fretting Hand
Develop hammer-ons, pull-offs, fretting hand muting, legato, and tapping techniques. Learn how to choose efficient fingerings and position your fingers for what comes next, making your movements smoother and more seamless.
Hand Synchronization
Get your fretting and picking hands on the same page so every movement lands in time. Work through synchronization, string noise, muting, speed, and articulation issues to make your playing cleaner, tighter, and more controlled.
Instructor Access
Send your questions whenever they come up. Our professional instructors will respond with explanations, feedback, and guidance to help you understand your next steps to keep progressing. You’ll also have access to our weekly support call, where you can receive individual attention from instructors as we help you work through your unique hurdles.
Practice Materials
We make sure you always know what to practice—and how to practice it. Receive a customized plan of focused exercises and drills based on your specific hurdles. Use the Practice Tracker to set goals, log your progress, and stay consistent with your practice.
Community Access

Here’s What Students Are Saying:
“Before TFM, I’d spent two years struggling to play certain riffs cleanly, no matter how much I practiced. After three weeks of working on the isolated picking exercises, I went back to a riff I’d been stuck on and finally broke through. I could play it faster and cleaner than before.”
Anthony Burulcich“My picking moves much more efficiently, and my fretting hand is able to keep up! I’m much faster at picking up songs and riffs and playing them consistently at pace.”
Jacob Miles Crossman“My hand synchronization and legato have gotten way better. I’m working on sweep picking now, something I never thought I would be able to do. I can learn solos much faster, and I’ve noticed the cleanliness of my riffs is much better too.”
