Wassup? This kinda goes along with the lesson. I was messing around earlier and stumbled on a sweet warm-up lick! It's a modified chromatic scale with some alternate picking that really helps your overall speed and acuracy.

Don't hammer on or pull off, it doesn't give uyou the full benefits if you dont pick each note cleanly. And don't start out fast, make sure you are doing it right, not quickly.

[ProgFanDave]

Oh how I love warm up exercises.

Thamks for posting this, and ignore what anybody else has to say about your method of teaching, because it seriously is really good.

It's interesting that nobody realized that the B & G strings on the end of the first measure and beginning of the second measure aren't complete. This is a great exercise, just need to complete it. But, thanks for placing it here! ;
