Warming Up Exercices Options

[Shadow21]

Can some one share with me some good warming up exercices for both, left and right hand please?
I want to start improving my AP and legatto, so I will need to warm up properly, but I don't know many exercices...

So, could some one please help me?

Cheers (:
Joel.

Here are two very useful warm up exercises:

Warm up is very important!

[Muris Varajic]

Imho you can use just about anything that you actually practice as a warm up,
it could be a scale played up and down (using both AP and Legato),
some lick that you have found interesting or piece of a solo that you like.
So it would be useful in 2 ways, you would get warmed up
and you'd still play something that has musical sense.
Just play it slow in order not to hurt yourself,
which is the point of warmup in a first place.

Like Muris suggested, anything slow and precise is cool. Just keep it slow for 10-15 mins of constant playing and it will be OK. Doing chromatic runs is usually what people use for warmups, but running scales/arpeggios up and down very slowly helps not only fingers warm up, but also your ear (if you can hear what you play).
During gigs in the backstage sometimes it is hard to hear what you play while warming up, but even then you can mentally sing the notes while going over them, it's a useful warming up of both ear and fingers.

[Pedja Simovic]

I agree with Muris. You can take anything and make it a warm up as long as you play it slow. Also, it depends what technique you want to warm up. Is it alternate, sweep picking, legato, economy picking, tapping? You can take anything and adjust to different areas

Thank you guys! I'll try that out (:

Again, thanks.
