Sweep exercise to improve movement between strings!
These exercises move over 4 strings, the right hand should execute this with a sweeping motion (see video). The rhythms are the same as at beginner chromatic exercises.
It might take you several weeks to make this type of Spyder feel comfortable, to get there, practice slowly at first.
Stick to these simple exercises for a few weeks before you move on, make sure the sweeping motion of the pick is nice and relaxed.
Sweeping Spyder
The sweeping Spyder work on the sweeping motion, not to be confused with electric neo-classical sweeping of minor arpeggios.
The sweeping Spyder simply aim to get the control of the pick to improve as you travel over several strings.
Don’t forget to practice normal Spyders as well, or they might descend in BPM numbers.
