Guitar Warm Up Drills & Lessons
My Guitar Warm Up Drills class takes a look at various guitar warm up techniques. Shows specific drills on how to increase speed and dexterity in your playing. In general, just focus on loosening and warming up, nothing more. These exercises aren't to build technique, just to get warmed up.
Like any physical activity, warming up when playing guitar is important. A common mistake I see among students is putting favorite songs first in their practicing as a warm-up. It is better to warm-up on a simple drill, such as ‘Chromatic Drill’, so mistakes that inevitably happen when warming up don’t creep their way into the rehearsed performance of those songs.
Aim to keep an even time between all notes for this exercise, particularly when changing strings.
Complete the tab patterns below on one fret position and all the strings, then move up a fret after you go up and back. Try alternate picking. It's a good habit to get into. Alternate picking just means up and down picking. Complete the pattern on one string, every fret then down a string.
