Continue moving up one fret at a time until you've run out of frets. Then repeat this exact same exercise using just your second and third fingers, and then just your third and fourth fingers. You'll really feel the burn using your third and fourth fingers. --------------------------------1--2--------------------------------| --------------------------1--2--------1--2--------------------------| --------------------1--2--------------------1--2--------------------| --------------1--2--------------------------------1--2--------------| --------1--2--------------------------------------------1--2--------| --1--2--------------------------------------------------------1--2--| Warm-up #2: After you've finished at the first and third frets (as shown), move up one fret and repeat. Continue moving up one fret at a time until you've run out of frets. Then repeat this exact same exercise using just your second and fourth fingers. Again, you'll really feel this workout any time you're using your fourth finger. --------------------------------1--3--------------------------------| --------------------------1--3--------1--3--------------------------| --------------------1--3--------------------1--3--------------------| --------------1--3--------------------------------1--3--------------| --------1--3--------------------------------------------1--3--------| --1--3--------------------------------------------------------1--3--| Warm-up #3: Using your first and fourth fingers, continue this pattern as you did in warm-ups 1 and 2. --------------------------------1--4--------------------------------| --------------------------1--4--------1--4--------------------------| --------------------1--4--------------------1--4--------------------| --------------1--4--------------------------------1--4--------------| --------1--4--------------------------------------------1--4--------| --1--4--------------------------------------------------------1--4--| Warm-up #4: This one will cause you to stretch a bit. Proceed across the strings and up the neck as before. When you're done using the first and second fingers, use your first and third fingers, playing the first and fourth frets (stretching three frets). Then, using your first and fourth fingers, stretch out playing the first and fifth frets. --------------------------------1--3--------------------------------| --------------------------1--3--------1--3--------------------------| --------------------1--3--------------------1--3--------------------| --------------1--3--------------------------------1--3--------------| --------1--3--------------------------------------------1--3--------| --1--3--------------------------------------------------------1--3--| Note: The next three exercises focus on three-finger drills. Warm-up #6 in particular emulates scale fragments, so it really applies almost directly to your soloing skills. Warm-up #5: This exercise will challenge your alternate picking technique a little, but it's more about the fret hand. Proceed across the strings and up the neck as before. When you're done with the first, second, and third fingers, use your second, third, and fourth fingers, which will be really tiring for most people-but thats exactly what these warm-ups are for. You'll play so much more precisely after putting your fingers through this workout. -----------------------------------------------1--2--3------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------1--2--3-----------1--2--3---------------------------------| -----------------------------1--2--3-----------------------------1--2--3------------------------| --------------------1--2--3-----------------------------------------------1--2--3---------------| -----------1--2--3-----------------------------------------------------------------1--2--3------| --1--2--3-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------1--2| Warm-up #6: Proceed across the strings and up the neck as before. When you're done with the first, second, and fourth fingers, use your first, third, and fourth fingers (playing the first, third, and fourth frets to begin the exercise). Then start over using your first, second, and fourth fingers, stretched a bit. 1 2 3 ------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| ------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| ------------------------|------------------------|-------------------------| --------------------etc.-|--------------------etc.-|--------------------etc.--| -----------1--2--4------|-----------1--3--4------|-----------1--3--5------| --1--2--4---------------|--1--3--4---------------|--1--3--5---------------| Warm-up #7: Now we'll really stretch out your fretting hand. This is similar to warm-up #6. but with more stretching. It can be quite tough at first, but keep at it, and you'll see your playing improve because of your extra effort. Continue across and up as usual. When you're done with the first, second, and fourth fingers, use your first, third, and fourth fingers. ------------------------|-------------------------| ------------------------|-------------------------| ------------------------|-------------------------| --------------------etc.-|--------------------etc.--| -----------1--2--5------|-----------1--4--5-------| --1--2--5---------------|--1--4--5----------------| Brought to you by the GuitarMasta http://www.guitarmasta.net/g/guitar_lessons/340143.html
