HOT DAAYYUM, BATMAN!

Try this!

With all strings left open, loop the following sequence of notes as accurately as possible with the pick. See how long you can last before you stuff up. Each repetition without a mistake scores you a point. You are not allowed to read the notes, you have to memorise the sequence (which isnt hard since the pattern is obvious)

....where small e is high e.

I've managed one complete transition only! >☹

Opera buggered up my reply! So whats yer scores? Or are ya too CHEEEKEN for this exercise? :evil: I managed to bump it up to 2 reps before the body cried enough.

Lol. TD. This is one of the more rediculous training excercises I have seen, and that is said with love ?

Why not instead of hitting random strings, try see how long you can endure the chromatic scale at say 120BPM. Atleast that way, not only are you benchmarking yourself, but also strengthening your left hand, and making your right hand more smoother (and gradually faster)

once again... with love. I really dig the enthusiasm you put into learning and trying to calibrate your skills, but do it in a way that can benefit you in a much more broad sense.

Hey, dont be dissin my internet guitar-god-in-5-minutes-a-day tut!

The aim of the exercise is supposedly to help teach you to disconnect the aural progression of the notes from the mechanical action of picking the scale- its the direction change that catches you out- well it does me.

Oh i see. Well if that was your intention, to develop your aural abilities. Then strum away!

Tonedef

Heh! I got no idea what aural disconnect means or whether its even useful. It has an element of red lorry yellow lorry to it so I think its fun. Plus I can practise it while flat on my back and not having to look at the strings.
