Guitar Practice – Week 2
I only practised three times this week. Mostly to do with slackness, and a little because I learnt “sleep walk”. I’ve been asked to demo an MCD guitar at the guitar expo this year, so I will be learning some classic songs to play. I went backwards this week, but at least I can play “sleep walk”.
Here’s my improvement over this last week, first figure start of week and the last figure the end of the week. All tempos are playing semi-quavers.
Diatonic scales and modes, Ionian to Ionian
100bpm / 100bpm (better at 105 than last week, but still messy)
Chromatic exercises
100bpm / 100bpm
Alternating string arpeggios (1, 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 6, 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 3, 1)
70bpm / 65bpm
Non-scalar string skipping alternate picking (1, 3, 4, 6, 6, 4, 3, 1)
70bpm / 65bpm
Non-scalar sweep picking exercises
70bpm / 65bpm
