How are you warming up for LGS?

[TwilightOdyssey]

WOW... Ben.. that first exercise is really cool.... jus started doing it... (probably seventy times slower than you but still...) thanks for posting it!!!!!

You're welcome. If you do that exercise for 10-15 minutes every day, you won't be playing it slow for long!!

I'm not going to get to this LGS, unfortunately, but I'll post my warm-ups.    Aside from doing the one-finger-per-fret thing (1--2--3--4) up and down the fretboard I sometimes do these exercises, two of which I nicked from Joe Satriani and two I made up.

The other two.

Plus I often do the arpeggios at the beginning of  Eugene's Trick Bag, by Steve Vai.  And then there's some funky strummy stuff I do to get my right hand going.  Plus whatever else I can think of.  Some of the songs I wrote in the mid-90s are challenging for me to play these days, so I'll go through them occasionally.

Thanx for posting those, Searcher!!

Hmm.  I'm not au fait with non-Macs these days.  You could take a screenshot of the tab and then paste it into a graphics program then crop it and save as a small JPEG.  Or you could PM me for my email and send me the .pdf file and I'll edit it and send it back to you.

Or you can wait till Ben or someone else who knows that program gives you better advice.
