Chromatic and sweeping exercises
Fine tune your accuracy and get your speed up to new heights
In the master guitar course, we work our way through the final thirty-five chromatic and sweeping exercises.
When you feel comfortable playing an exercise at a reasonable tempo, compare it with chromatic exercise 2. When that exercise reaches 130-140 BPM, you can stop this madness!
Starting off with Chromatic exercise 32-34, we combine different 16th note clusters. Next, we play the same rhythms, but now sweep them in Sweeping exercises 35-42.
The quickest way to achieve this is to practice all these different exercises, not just get stuck on one or two. Together they will fine tune your accuracy and get your speed up to new heights.
Also, don’t spend two hours playing these once a week – that will probably do more harm than good! Instead, you want to do this little and often.
You don’t have to break any speed records, work on accuracy and your speed will soon improve. Turn to the step by step guitar course for best guidance.
