Outstanding video, and not just because of the useful exercise. The higher-order lesson about acting as our own teachers is useful, and so is seeing you struggle to play something. In the public version of 272, I noticed how much slower you played the descending version (and the blink-and-you'll-miss-it jump cut). This doesn't diminish your credibility as a teacher; it shows you, too, as a learner, modeling learning strategies for the rest of us. If anything, I would ask for you to show us more moments of you "sucking" at guitar. Not so we can feel superior to you, but so we can see that anyone, no matter how accomplished, "sucks" when attempting complex, unfamiliar, and counter-intuitive patterns.

The variation I've added to these spider walk type chromatic exercises, I think out of sheer masochism, is to make them chromatically consistent. Even if I'm going straight across in fourths, when I get to that major third between the G & B strings, I shift a half step so that tonally it's consistent with the rest of the intervals. Or I'll shirt the half step down the neck on every string switch except that, again, to make the chromatic intervals stay consistent. I think it helps me keep more mindful and not make it just an autopilot exercise. And I think it translates to actual music because I wouldn't let the neck geometry over rule the tonality when playing a song or soloing. I considered doing what that Stanley Jordan did and tune the guitar in fourths all the way, but I do too many covers, I'm sure most things could still be figured out but that's a steeper hill than I've been willing to climb.
