Ok, so a couple of days ago i was practicing alternate picking and was playing some runs up and down the fretboard. Than i decided to do something i could use for GMC, and here is the idea:

I created an exercise which will help you work on alternate picking runs both ascending and descending for a certain major scale (major scale for start) through all the 7 boxes you can find on the fretboard. Later we'll do same for minor boxes. The great progress i noticed when playing it is total relaxation.

I must say it is great for your AP workout and i really enjoy playing it, so what do you think about it? If you need something like this - i will make it into a lesson!

Pavel, that would be great. You're AP lessons have dramatically increased my speed in a very short time. Thanks in advance!

Ok, i guess than this will be a good addition to my AP lessons so you will practice your memory, visual memory, alternate picking, relaxation, muting. Ok - i'll get on it!

Anxiously awaiting!

When you are done this version, could you morph it into a pentatonic style as well, or tell us how this can be applied to other scales?

Thanks Pavel.

Ok, after this major lesson i'll jump on pentatonic shapes and apply similar approach and than minor scale.

Yes! I could really use something like this, and would love it if you made it into a lesson!

It's tabbed, just have to make a backing track and record it! I'm pretty busy right now so i guess next week i will do it! (my parents are on a trip, so i am home alone, have to cook myself, clean the house and the best part is - my fridge has broken so i have to deal with all the service mans and sending it for repairs, buying food every day because i can't store it...pretty much of a mess ) But i have lot's of updates for this month so stay tuned!
