And it's alright if it's not in a jazzy environment?

It makes perfect sense! It will get you to organize and aim for something particular, I totally support that
Ok here are the 11 alternate picking exercises. Learn them all and go for 3 tempos that are at least 20bpm gap between them. Idea is to have slow (warm up) medium (slight effort) and fast (maximum effort) tempos. For you it may be 60 100 160bpm. We won't know until you try them all. You will also notice that exercises are different in rhythm as well as approach. Some are played on 1 string, some use 2 , some 3 or more strings but alternate picking always happens no matter what. When you do all of these and record them, we can do arpeggios as well Deadline for your assignment is one week from today (October 7th). I want you to push yourself as much as you can with technical exercises and same goes for Alternate picking ones. Let me know if you have any questions Ben !

I use my pandora PX4D for recording, but my webcam automatically sets the "microphone" to "microphone" instead of "line in".
Here's the first exercises. I only played through it a few times before recording though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvJnPdt8hsI&fmt=22 I was also just recording exercise 2 when my cat decided to jump in and sit in front of the camera.... Stupid cat! I actually think there's a bit of a timing problem with the 120 bpm takes. |

Good work for very little to none preparation. I think you can do better of course. Keep in mind that 1st exercise uses only one string, it serves as a warm up of a sort

Sound quality degraded a bit through having to split the file. Don't know what happened. There are some not so good things in between, but hopefully we'll see a lot of progress in the next few days.

Funny problem... My little finger starts to cramp up when doing the exercises at 130 bpm. Hahaha. Can't bend it then. What's the best solution to this?
