Lesson 57
The Xtremes: Xtreme Volume Hand Techniques
Part 4

In Part 4, pitch is added back into the mix exclusive of rhythm. In an evolution of Lesson
45, the challenge is to see if hitting pitches in a scale is possible in one unbroken movement of
the pitch hand, while the volume hand articulates each one. This is the precursor to playing
challenging and/or rapid melody lines during which there’s a minimal amount of time to hit a
pitch before moving on to the next. Stay tuned, because Lessons 63 and 64 will put this to
the ultimate test.
