Warm up exercise

by BodomBeachTerror (Nov 04, 2008)

Heres a warm up exercise that help with speed, stretching, and finger strength. Im going to point out that you can do this anywhere on the fretboard, and obviously the lower on the fret board the harder it will be.. you also can do it alternate picking or legato, doing it one way, then the other is a good idea. also if your fingers cant stretch as far as mine, dont kill yourself trying, or if they can stretch further go for it! THE NUMBERS IN ( ) REPRESENT THE FINGER TO USE (1=pointer, 2 = middle, etc) IF YOU DONT USE THE RIGHT ONES THIS WONT BE VERY EFFECTIVE this looks really long, but the exercise doesnt take long at all
and if MAB ever sees this, Sorry i ripped you off dude!
