In the first minute of picking up your guitar everyday, what do you play? (except checking for tuning)

Is it an age old fav lick, chromatic run, some pattern of a scale, or some melody?

I just start my session with a simple E5 chord that I let ring to absorb all the distortion and feel it !! biggrin.gif ..That sound is like that a fresh breath of air I've been waiting to play all day.. It's just an old habit.. Now i do it unconsciously.

Your turn !!

p.s - Sorry if this has been done before.

I make sure the sound and settings are allright by playing an open e5 powerchord and palm muted triad gallop riffs on the open e string, the I usually get my fingers moving with some fast Paul Gilbert picking licks...

I start off with an A5 powerchord, then I do some random progression with random rhythm and muting. Then I do a feeble pentatonic lick until I finally do Marcus warm-up exercises laugh.gif

I usually will do some kind of warmup exercise, but if I don't feel like doing it then I usually do as Staffay does, some blues licks or whatever I'm in the mood for.

I want to say the first thing I play is "EADGBE" to see if I'm in tune, but often I don't do that. I play one of a few really slow songs first.

- guitar loves piano
- epilogue (for lisa)
- jumping around - beginner

A few times through any of those is a nice bendy (or stretchy) warmup

I play the same lick all the time, Its a quick Phyrgian run which was the first thing I learned to play "fast". To this day its still the fastest thing I can play.

And I've never used it a song either laugh.gif
