Let’s keep plugging away with a fresh batch of exercises. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4

In this routine, I’ve got a couple of single-string exercises, a couple of finger confusion exercises, and we’ll finish up with a fun exercise that can double as a flashy lick for your next killer solo. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5

Here are some exercises based on the pentatonic and major scale.

Here’s another healthy dose of technique-building exercises. We’ll ramp up the speed a bit and clock in at 66 beats per minute. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4

I’m not going to lie. The exercises in this routine are pretty tough. Talk about an arm cramp… To top it off, you should perform them using alternate picking (down, up, down, up). This is particularly hard because we’ll constantly be switching strings, but it has to be done in order to build speed on…

Here’s another helping of good ole speed and technique-building exercises. We’ll speed things up a little in this session at 63 beats per minute. Enjoy! Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 6

Remember: you must put the practice time in to get faster! Fig. 1: Simple Alternate Picking Exercise Fig. 2: Alternate Picking Variation Fig. 3: One, Two, Four Fig. 4: Pentatonic Scale Fig. 5: Up The Strings Fig. 6: Down The Strings

We’ll build speed step by step. In this session, we have speed-building exercises at 60 beats per minute. Fig. 1: First & Second Finger Fig. 2: First & Third Finger Fig. 3: First & Fourth Finger Fig.4: Second & Third Finger Fig. 5: Second & Fourth Finger Fig. 6: Third & Fourth Finger
