How to play it

Why this exercise

This is the foundation everything else is built on. Without solid technique, riffs and solos fall apart once you speed up.

Choose a technical exercise, like one finger per fret, or a scale you already know.
Play it slowly, with controlled movements.
If the exercise includes bends (stretching a string), tune them carefully until you hit the note you want.
Keep a steady rhythm for the full 10 minutes.

Today's tip

Make sure every note rings out clean.
