Ultimate Guitar Workout | Version 1 (Patreon)

Practicing guitar can be overwhelming...there's so much to work on. How do you focus on the core aspects that really drive progress? It's easy to let the chops slide sometimes....pick your axe back up to play tornado of souls and you're way behind!

I had an idea the other day while running to the hills. What if I constructed the ultimate guitar workout? Something that accomplished all your goals in a super efficient, concise format. Attached is version 1 of my ultimate guitar workout. It's like a guitar technique and music theory multivitamin. Spend 20-30 minutes on this everyday and I guarantee you'll turn into a scary machine. 

I use the guitar pro file to play along. Starting at 69 bpm, then gradually increasing tempo. The routine includes, power chords, counterpoint, tremolo picking, chugs, sweep picking, legato, hybrid picking, finger tapping and more. Every exercise can be practiced on its own and developed into a song. I'm using the Andalusian Cadence progression to make things musical Em-D-C-B. This is an essential progression for all styles of music from classical to pop. 

This is just the beginning of the concept. I want to hear your feedback on how I can make this routine better overtime. Could be many different variations using different music theory ideas and techniques. The ultimate goal is to be able to play the exercise all the way through. I'd love to hear you do it on Discord for anyone at the $10 tier.
