Warmup #1

-This is a Gmajor scale exercise played entirely on the top two strings. It's a sequence of 16th notes ini groups of 7 notes.

-Always pick every note using an "alternate picking" technique.

-Ascending: play 3 notes on the 2nd string and 4 notes on the 1st string. Your fret-hand 4th finger slides up to get the last note in the
sequence (but you're still picking!).

-Descending: play 3 notes on the 1st string and 4 notes on the 2nd string. Your fret-hand 1st finger slides down to get the last note in
the sequence (but you're still picking!).

-With each set of 7 notes, the picking will reverse itself (i.e. 1st set of 7 wil begin with a downstrioe, then next set of 7 will start with
a upstroke etc.).

-To further challenge yourself, tap your foot to 1/4 notes whiile playing this, and accenting the 1st note of each sequence.
Remember that even though you're playing in groups of 7, you're still playing 16th notes!

-Try plaing this a counting out loud ("1,2,3,4")
