I am trying to get a pratice routine does anyone no where i can get or no any good streching and strenthening and picking and timing excerises. At the moment i am just playing songs and ruinning through scales should i still do this ? I have read through the articles on pratice on this but not found any actual exercises, so any ideas ?
I have found a number of exercises in a few popular guitar magazines, I usually buy one or two a month.
for warmups I usually use scales and chromatic patterns up and down the neck, and incorperated string skipping into it, all with a metronome.
This not only gets your fingers streched out, but also helps your picking.
I use alternate picking during these exercises.
I usually try to save the songs that I know for the end or after the practice session during my guitar play time.
hope this helps
Cheers
Brian
I don't understand, I got the guitar, and the beer, the commercial said I'd be a rock star by now...
the reason we fall is so we can learn how to pick ourselves back up
