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 !! ..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. -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

I do a warm-up consisting mostly of the classic 1234 4321 , 1324 4231 etc exercises and then usually the stretching exercise from rock discipline Yea, some chromatic exercise follow the E5 chord for me Oh, I have no strict routine, just playing whatever im in the mood for, sometimes some jazz stuff, but mostly some pentatonic blues patterns with some bending I suppose.... //Staffay I guess it takes a real man to warm up using bends -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

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 -------------------- ::jafomatic
