General notes about the execution of exercises:
I want to preface that these exercises don't pretend to substitute the help of a teacher, but they only want
to provide an idea for the guitar player who is casually viewing them and has a good will!
In fact, generally, guitar exercises should be assigned according to the skill of the student and to
the problems that he could face with during their execution.
Moreover they should be executed following a progressive difficulty order, to avoid innatural nerve tensions.
The exercises listed above indeed, don't follow any order. They're been inserted without considering any kind of schematism.
To get greater advantage from executing them, I suggest to use the metronome, trying to begin from very very slow time
(about 60bpm a semicrome), and raising velocity increasingly with 10-15 bpm intervals between a phase and another.
I suggest also not to practise pure TECHNIQUE more than 1h and 30min a day, because overlapping specific boundaries
could cause infiammation syndromes which are very hard to be cured (I've had an experience about this).
I think that the daily practising with about 20min for each technique (20min plettrate + 20min legato + 20min sweep +
20min tapping = 1h:20min) should be a sufficient training, indipendently from which skill level you wish to achieve.
Don't forget that not only technique exists!!
So you should try to practise also other (and probably more important) aspects of your musical personality,
studying improvvisation and composing your own original pieces, better in a band with other musicians.
Always remember that technique is the means to express youself, and it is NOT the last task of our musical
commitment.
