Due to the work you’ve already done in Stage One you can be sure that you’ve already successfully programmed what you’re trying to learn securely in your mind.

Start at a slow tempo and gradually increase the click speed of the metronome until you find that you just about do the exercise but it’s kind of on the verge of falling apart. This is your “pressure point”.

Record the name of the exercise in your practice note pad and the tempo of your pressure point.

From Now On You’ll Spend All Your Practice Time In And Around This Pressure Point!
