Tab Notes

PRACTICE RUN 1

This is a simple finger strength building warmup/exercise. Once the pattern is memorized, it can be started and/or ended anywhere on the fretboard, though I do reccomend starting with your first finger on the first fret, and continuing the pattern until your first finger is on the10th fret position, or further.

It is a good idea to practice this with different picking techniques. Try it once with 'Down Picking,' once with 'Down/Up Picking,' and once with 'Up/Down Picking.' There are no rules, only goals. So try all techniques in any combination. Just make sure to practice all of the techniques equally, in order to acheive your goals.

Many experienced guitarists still use this technique, daily, to warm up their fingers before playing. Think of it as stretching before a workout!
