Free Lesson For Metal Guitarists
How To Fix Your Rhythm Guitar Technique
In this FREE LESSON you’ll learn:
- How to increase your picking speed and endurance without injuring yourself
- A simple approach to breaking through the intermediate plateau (stuck at 140-190bpm)
- Why most guitarists use 'forearm rotation' technique, which slows your down picking by 20-50bpm, and how to fix it
My down picking is much faster than it was before meeting Karri and now I'm able to down pick songs like Master of puppets (212bpm) and Waking the demon (255bpm). I also have much better dea on how to overall develop my playing.

I can only say to do it. Best thing I've done in a long time.

After a year with Karri there is a huge difference in what I can play.

One thing Karri is especially good at is teaching alternate picking and down picking; how to break through plateaus and play really fast with good tone and consistent timing. Strongly recommend working with Karri and also practicing a lot. If you combine these two it's impossible to not get a lot better.

I was watching other lesson videos online and never really got anywhere. I was playing for hours and hours huting my picking hand while doing that. Eventually I found Karri and reached out and started working with him. We have been working for 6 months together and my skills have gotten so much better. My speed is way up and we have solved a lot of problems in my playing.

Prior to learning from Karri, I had been playing for a few years but my technique had plateaued. This got frustrating, especially if you love metal the way that I do. I started Googling for techniques to help, tried a few and never really got anywhere, then ultimately found Karri's YouTube channel and started working with him. This has been one of the good decisions I've made in my life as my playing has materially improved since.

I’m a former guitarist of Scar Symmetry and a professional musician since 18.
Before working with Karri, my technique was a mess—my hands and shoulder hurt when playing fast, and YouTube tutorials weren’t helping. Karri showed me what I was doing wrong, fixed my technique, and gave me a real practice routine.
Now I play faster, more synchronized, and pain-free. In three months, I’ve learned more than in the last 20 years. If you want real progress, I highly recommend working with Karri!
- Jonas
I’ve been taking lessons with Karri for over a year. Before that, I was stuck—I’d learn riffs here and there but never made real progress.
That changed when I found Karri on YouTube. He didn’t just teach me techniques—he helped me break through plateaus I thought I’d never overcome. My alternate picking, down picking, and speed have improved massively, and I finally have a solid technical foundation.
Karri’s ear is incredible—he catches the smallest mistakes, even over Skype. He tailors lessons to what I want to play, making practice both fun and effective. If you put in the work, it’s impossible not to improve with him. Highly recommend!
