      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 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

    • @ggbeb1177
      @ggbeb1177 ปีที่แล้ว +172

      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

    • @c1majesty85
      @c1majesty85 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      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

  • @cal2302

    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.

    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!

    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.
