Awesome Workout

[filmdude100cms]

I just had an awesome workout. 20 minutes non stop stumming 16th notes, on chords and harmonics, and scales had everything tuned down a full step, so it had a cool "keller" sound.

id really recoment doing this, really helps your arms.

thats sounds pretty exhausting, what other drills do you do?

satellite is great to warm up with, same with tripping billies

i usually just do scales and billies, but now im gonna start doing this, cause its really fun, and it works out your arms pretty good.

not really looking for songs to practice, although those two do give you quite a workout, i'm looking for more repetitive boring drills to improve accuracy and speed.

nice speed and accuracy (especially with a bass) is on any string

2--5--12--7 try doing that without missing a beat then you could also do:

---3--2--9--12
--2--5--12--7

again without missing a beat.

I also just strum bar chords up and down the neck really really fast sometimes. Like trying do a power chord d, then a regular open D chord etc.

Code: Select all

E-4-3-2-1                  e-1-2-3-4                                
A-4-3-2-1                  B-1-2-3-4                                 
D-4-3-2-1   then           G-1-2-3-4                  
G-4-3-2-1                  D-1-2-3-4                   
B-4-3-2-1                  A-1-2-3-4                
e-4-3-2-1                  E-1-2-3-4    

just go though, then go backwards, and use the apropriate finger for each fret, fret 1 finger 1, fret 2 finger 2, and so on...
you can move this excercise to any starting fret.

id just recomend geting the 1-4 down at a steady relitivly fast speed, then move it up to 2-5.

What you can do accurately slowly you will learn to do quickly.

Best advice I've ever gotten.

But there is something to be said about endurance and stamina.

EDIT: I mean the best advice re: guitar playing, I was once that if a girl s**** your d*** after you f*** her in her a** - MARRY HER! Whether I agree or not is up for thought.
