awesome sounding, fun to practice. How do you count each measure? first part 6-6-4? second part 7-9? trying to figure out where I should place the accent in picking. Thx
And then you play at the party and feel completely empty as no one mentions your playing and eventually you run out of material. That’s what happens to me lol.
Really appreciate that you put the tabs in the videos. So many people now that claim to bw able to help you get better or have fun exercises like this but the put it behind a pay wall. Im not trying to knock the hustle but like i said its just appreciated that this is here to let people learn and improve from.
i mean, you can always start very slowly. tho yeah, if you're at a very newbie level, boring exercises would def be a lot easier to wrap your head around
i think lots of guitar players shy away from stuff that is to far outside of there wheelhouse, i know i did when i was younger the key is you can slow the music down to whatever your level is at, and usually it will sound good and you can progressively speed it up youtube is a blessing for any musician learning today
you can pretty much practice every technique with something that sounds pleasant. even this is practicing the most basic of techniques a guitarist needs. all "the boring stuff" is just boring because you strip a technique down to the bare minimum. once you kind of got the hang of it you can try and make practice more interesting
Just spent about an hour and a half learning this at half speed! Making this apart of my daily routine and hopefully can get it up to full speed soon! Thank you so much 🤘
Just started practicing this... I'm still quite slow compared to the video but its very satisfying to play. All the notes fall where you expect them to and it feels easy to glide up and down the fretboard.
I’ve been practicing for about a month and it took me about an hour to learn the first bit but I’m glad I pushed on through when I wanted to stop. I will definitely be coming back to this and add a bit more on every day
This is the best guitar exercise I have ever found. It sounds beautiful and there are so many ways to use this exercise to practice different techniques. You can strictly alternate pick it or add legato and sweep picking, even some tapping if you want. If you are good enough player and it doesn't really exercise your playing you can use it as a warmup. This is so good that it's worth my first ever TH-cam comment. I have been playing metal for over 20 years but I have never done any exercises because they are so uninspiring but this is something else. I have had fun playing this for a few days and I'll make sure I'll memorize this for the rest of my life to use as a warmup.
Basically a short etude. But there ain't much etudes for an electric guitar, so this one is really good to add to anyone's workbook and daily instrument workout. Thanks for one more cool thing to play!
That was awesome, and now listening to it 25 years later, I get why my band instructor had us do scale runs and appregios and classical music all the time
Wow. So good. I'm an advanced beginner on guitar. Been working on major and minor pentatonics along with chords: major, minor, Maj7 and Dom7. Thank you for the tab. I'm feeling good about being able to discern the movement through the minor shapes while practicing.
Hi Jamie. I'd consider myself a very sloppy intermediate/advanced guitarist, having only slowly improved over the 19 years I've been playiing. I absolutely love your channel - as part of my attempt to improve my technique I have been practicing chromatic exercises and random arpeggios for endless hours. I always wondered why more people didn't put it all into a warm up routine, and your compositions are amazing! I think it would be very helpful to add in the comments for the videos, what techniques are practiced whilst learning the exercise, as they can be quite fast and long when just watching the video. For example, I think this one is mostly just alternate picking? It would be great if you put your videos into small mini-series! Perhaps one for alternate picking practice, with beginner, intermediate, and advanced routines such as this one :) Anyway, I look forward to learning this one within the upcoming days!
Hey! Im glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊 these videos are meant as a preview for the full lesson/breakdown on my Patreon page. There I post in-depth lesson videos each week, usually with the different levels as you’re suggesting! With Patreon being a paid subscription platform it makes it more worthwhile to produce that content there. Check it out if you’re interested! www.Patreon.com/JamieRobinson
Man I don’t comment on very many videos but this series of practice etudes that sound this awesome have been a welcome addition to my boring wood shedding sessions. I really appreciate it buddy and please keep it up!
This is a really great practice exercise and a beautiful piece of music! I've only learned the first few bars so far, but I can already see loads of techniques worked into it. This looks like the perfect practice for someone like me trying to move beyond the basic beginner stage and improve their playing, while learning something that actually sounds musical by itself. Thanks a lot Jamie. I look forward to checking out your other lessons.
I have something similar on bass that I do - but definitely a bit more bass-ish. When I'm not awake or not warmed up it can take me 10 rounds sometimes to get my fingers moving. I recommend everyone find drills like this.
this is something a lot of people don't understand about practice, you can make your own exercises that sound good and aren't boring so its not just like your dreading practice time
To whoever is reading this keep going,you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this!
Damn right!! Since November I've started learning scales along with the spider exercise...I've been playing guitar for almost 15 years but only church choir stuff like open chords and occasionally power chords, never really tried soloing or arpeggios...last week I grabbed the guitar and put a blues track to play along. I WAS SHOCKED!! My fingers felt like butter on the fretboard. I literally screamed HOLY SHIT!! It felt like my fingers had their own brain. Damn it feels good. I keep practicing almost daily at least 30 min if I can
@@dvillegaspro yeah you're supposed to study them and build technique but it's not a song you're supposed to "perform" in front of people. i had no idea the word in English means study pretty cool

very difficult
awesome sounding, fun to practice. How do you count each measure?
first part 6-6-4?
second part 7-9?
trying to figure out where I should place the accent in picking. Thx
I'll add this to my "Time to Show Off at a Party" list
:))) funny but u know inside u still suck so you get to enjoy the show off part fully righte?? :dd
Glad I'm not the only one
Please, you know the only thing on that list is wonderwall 🙄
And then you play at the party and feel completely empty as no one mentions your playing and eventually you run out of material. That’s what happens to me lol.

More not-boring exercises! ❤
This Week’s (METAL Style) Warm Up Exercise!

Im not trying to knock the hustle but like i said its just appreciated that this is here to let people learn and improve from.
I’m no expert…but I’m fairly confident you don’t get to this point without practicing the boring stuff…
😁

This is the boring stuff you practice to be able to play the interesting stuff.
Just started this over the last few days. Never tried this type of playing before but loving the challenge
More like this please! Great content, 'sophisticated' sounding lick too, I enjoyed learning it
Glad you liked it!
Just spent about an hour and a half learning this at half speed!
Making this apart of my daily routine and hopefully can get it up to full speed soon!
Thank you so much 🤘

How about now?
I’ve been practicing for about a month and it took me about an hour to learn the first bit but I’m glad I pushed on through when I wanted to stop. I will definitely be coming back to this and add a bit more on every day
Love the smile at the end, I'll be smiling too when I eventually get this figured out!

I had this in 1.5 from my last video and I was freaking out
Very smooth, thanks for sharing!
Basically a short etude.
But there ain't much etudes for an electric guitar, so this one is really good to add to anyone's workbook and daily instrument workout.
Thanks for one more cool thing to play!
This is exactly the type of exercise I need. More please!
I love how subtle yet tasteful that octave you grab at the end is. it's the small things like that that always tickles my brain.
Part of my routine now. More of these, please!!!
Thank you for the tabs man! Really appreciate it!! This sounds awesome.
I love exercises like this😮 thank you!!!!
How to master your alternate picking and string skipping... Nice exercice !
GOD.... Mr. Robinson Thank you so much, you dont know how long i am looking for easy, BUT very awesome sounding practice pattern!
That was awesome, and now listening to it 25 years later, I get why my band instructor had us do scale runs and appregios and classical music all the time
More of this man. Please.
0:15 This sounds like the end section of Jason Becker's "Air", which by the way is a great exercise in itself.
my thoughts exactly. In fact the whole piece reminds me of Jason.
This is exactly the channel that I needed
Very cool!
Had a bit of “crossroads” end-battle vibe to it.
I heard the same, especially the beginning. Paganini Caprice no.5
Wow. So good. I'm an advanced beginner on guitar. Been working on major and minor pentatonics along with chords: major, minor, Maj7 and Dom7. Thank you for the tab. I'm feeling good about being able to discern the movement through the minor shapes while practicing.
Ugh just got to work and i see this, gonna save this and practice it tonight when i get off!
Enjoy!
Man this is smooth , and I love the 'nailed it' smile at the end. Thank you for this
Lovely idea, sick and tired from the boring stuff . Thank u
I’ve never really been super good at guitar but I’ve been learning this and as I progress it sounds so good thank you for the confidence boost
Glad you like it! 👍😁

thank you! you made me pick my guitar after a few years off
I love to hear that! 🙏
I very much appreciate the fact that you didn't use the top string because you assume people are probably in drop d and standard mostly
Amazing tune! Loved it 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool!!!
Thanks for adding the tabs!
I love this. Just learned it. It’s so much fun. Thank you.
i like that, very melodic. im learning one phrase at a time.
That's one of the best piece I had to play, that's 🔥🔥🔥
Reminds me a bit of that classical part karate kid plays in the final showdown with Steve Vai in the movie Crossroads
Will be working on this. Thanks man.
this is GREAT for newbies btw!
This is what I'm talkin about THANK YOU SO MUCH
Sounds like clean part in Archspire song
Yeah that was f'n good! And thanks for the tabs
Love this! Can play the full piece half speed, now time to speed it up slowly 😅
Thank's for that video with tabs m8 your awesome!
Very nice simple exercise. I like it.
This is sick started jamming this today, fun riff to play.
This is such a brilliant excercise. Not too difficult either. Thank you!
Can u plz help me with the breakdown
@@nanayaw332 the breakdown?
@@murderface15g13he probably means optimal hand placement, because I’ve been struggling with that too
Thanks man! I took the time to learn this and I GOT THE GIRL!
😂 NICE!
Not to bore you, but absolutely outstanding as always!
Thank you, amazing exercise!
Thanks for this video! I'm gonna see how long it takes me to learn this 😮. Will follow-up on my progress. 🎸
Reminds me of a clean section in a archspire song
This is lowkey the best song ive ever heard
Awesome and thanks for the tabs
The movie “Crossroads” comes to mind. Get ‘em Lightnin’ Boy!
NEAT! that sounds fun!
love the jason becker-y tone ❤
I’ll add this to my daily routine. Tnx!
Beautiful. I will definitely try learning this and practice it with hybrid picking. Thank you sir!
Great playing!
Awesome lick men! I learned the few first bars and i'm really having a blast playing it!
Love to hear that! 😊👍

That was the most beautiful passage I've heard in a long time, thanks man
I love it. Was dreading practicing
I love when etudes also sound good
Can't stop listening to this. Could you please make a lesson on how to compose those?
Patroon shoutout was cool of ya dude!
Thanks man, this is fun and cool practice for guitar, im not bored anymore🔥🎸
Glad you like it! 😊
Just awesome! 👍🎸
I can see that solo in a Periphery song
That would be cool!
nah too much pretty normal arpeggiation for periphery
2x speed + distortion = JASON BECKER!
Fantastic stuff
I love this.
beautiful this is a great lesson
Some pf Slash's finger exercises and warm-ups became G'n'R's biggest hits.
Give this a thumbs up a great exercise up and down the fretboard
Thanks this one seems really fun 😁

.. doin my head in...

@@julioalex922hehehe nooicee bro
There's a term for pieces of music specifically written for practice/exercise of a particular technique while not losing musicality:
Etudes
Yes! It’s funny how many amazing classical pieces were just written as practice pieces 😂
Makes sense since the word means "study" in French
@@dvillegaspro yeah you're supposed to study them and build technique but it's not a song you're supposed to "perform" in front of people. i had no idea the word in English means study pretty cool
This is great!
This is so Sweet! I like It!
