Tenacious D'er :
A new slant on the old chromatic warm up. I would have never actually thought of string skipping, strangly. Good work!

dontstopblevin :
very practical uses for this...although it seems to me like this is common knowledge for most

i liked the string skipping part though, nice touch

nice. I actually thought of something similar but like yours better. It is common for lots, but alot of newer players would not know. thanks mate

wicked_hobbit :
I do the chromatic runs up and down the fret everyday. But yeah...like the others, i wonder why I never thought about string skipping. Great job!

drummz11 :
Jim Root did do a chromatic scale similar to the first two exercises, but each string he switched to the next fret up. and he kept going up and ended on the fourteenth fret with his pinky. its pretty cool and very similar to this. then he sweeps it. thanks for the warm up! its nice!

dark__echoes :
This'll help with alternating picking. I have some trouble with that. =P
Even though I've only been doing it for 10 minutes, it seem to be working.

Dream Theater12 :
I saw a movie made by the guitarist of Dream theater Jon petrucci that showed me this and I have noticed that my control and speed in picking and moving my fingers has greatly increased

William Ibanez :
thanks alot.
this warm up is the definition of simplicity, and it it just sat there under my nose my whole life and i never thought of it! its really nice. iv wrote some nice riffs with the help of this speed practice. iv done this many times, and it actually sounds cool with some crunch and pulloffs! haha thanks

Steve Vai's 10 hour workout is something like this too. Great stuff anyways!

sephirothnick :
you can do the same thing to practice economy picking and sweeps like

e-----4-1----
b-----4-1-----3---2---
g----4-1----- 3---2---2-----3--
d---3---2---2-----3-1-----4-
a--2-----3- 1-----4-----
e-1-----4-----

use sweeping to do this then reverse the order of the notes ascending and descending to practice reverse
