    • Tags:  Staccato, Alternate picking, AP exercise

      Time for some modal madness! This exercise is one of the most important for developing speed, stamina and accuracy in alternate picking.

    In my opinion this exercise is one of the most important for developing speed, stamina and accuracy in alternate picking. I taught this lesson ( and it's variations) to 99 % of my students. Another thing is I always use these 3 notes per string scales 'cause I can cover all of the neck while improvising or constructing a solo. I also practice this exercise whenever I can. Franz Liszt once said: " If I don't practice for a day, I will notice it while playing. If I don't practice for 2 days, the fellow musicians will notice it. If I don't play for 3 days, the public will definitely notice it."
    So I practice these scales whenever I can.

    I've included the fingerings in jpg format.
