I broke out my Rick Graham Legato workout course, and just like last time I tried it I struggled to even do anything sound remotely good with even the first warmup.
This time instead of just putting the guitar down and saying I can't do this I looked at what my problems were. 1. My little finger hammer ons and pulloffs are week and the finger isn't very controlled 2. A 2 tone reach is uncomfortable for me in 3rd position. So I thought about it and decided to go all Todd Simpson on it and break it down and make a simple drill style exercise which focuses on improving these things  I started taking this 2 tone sequence, down the strings as shown and then back up, then moved it down a fret and repeat etc So my hand is slowly stretching out, my pinky is getting a good work out. I then did it for the other 2 common interval combinations Half tone/tone and Tone/Half Tone. All to a metronome of course and if I do it all right I bump the bpm up! -------------------- My SoundCloud
