i've been working a good deal lately to find the most efficient left and right hand workouts and i was wondering what other people have come up with or borrowed. i know there are a TON of practice ideas out there so i'd like to keep it to strictly:
left hand strength/dexterity
and
right hand speed/accuracy/endurance/yadda yadda
so post your favorites that you've found helpful (try not to include songs) and hopefully we'll come up with a giant practice routine with this thread.
i'll start;
left hand:
-------5-6-7-8-7-6-5-----------------------------------------------
----------------------8-7-6-5-6-7-8--------------------------------
-------------------------------------5-6-7-8-7-6-5-----------------
----------------------------------------------------8-7-6-5-6-7-8--
-------------------------------------------------------------------- etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
i dont use a pick at all on this one. i try this on either my classical or
acoustic guitar, since it requires a bit more effort. but the key is using all hammer ons and pull offs.
now for the right hand:
take any scale or arpeggio and alternate the initial pick stroke. for example, if you start off a scale with a down stroke all the time, try starting with an upstroke. then just continue your
alternate picking throughout the scale.
im aware that there is more to playing than technique, but please just stick to left and right hand workouts.
ok, your turn
