Danny Grady: We are going to take look at some basics warm-ups. The need for a warm-ups is pretty self explanatory and it's great exercise if you are a beginner. The best warm-ups for usual is very, very simple and very, very fundamental and others things that you can do while you are watching TV, talking to friend, something you can just so a mind listening on the fretboard to get your hand's moving and it get a move in a new way and comfortable on the fretboard.
So we are going to take a look at a very simple basic chromatic warm-up, that is great for beginners. It's also a great way to practice alternate picking. So let's start here with the seventh fret here --- and when I say chromatic; the chromatic scales every ten and all, 12, 10 and is all # all flats, all natural notes. So this is it, because of the nature of the guitar we would be skipping some notes between but we'll be hitting every single note that our fingers can reach in this position. So I'll play it for you.
I am going to be picking the seventh fret here on the sixth string with my first and finger. I am going to pick each notes four times; down-up, down-up. And then I am going to my second finger on that same string. But now it would be here up to eight fret, down-up, down-up four times. I go to my third finger on the ninth fret of that same string, and now my pinky on the tenth fret of the sixth string.
The idea is to sign a finger to fret and keep your hand in the same positions. So let you let your fingers do the work and you don't move your hand up and down as if you are using one or two fingers.
Rush: And as you'll starts on the low E string and it goes like this. So then it's the B, A, and see I keep this B string ringing on the G; you hear the whole thing.
