It will help you know the fretboard better, make you a more proficient music writer, clean up/speed up technique, and make you have more control when it comes to improv.

scales are also a good way to practice alternate picking, which also leads to speed

Well, for someone who has over 900 posts, wouldn't you already know this answer? This is useless.

We've been through this. I have sent you several PM's telling you what you should do with a metronome. Several months ago.
Don't mean to sound harsh, its the truth.
I've already told you that riffs from songs/the 'chromatic' 1234 excercise and doing trills up and down the neck will get your hands in fine shape, when used with some sort of time keeping device.
ANY pattern, which challenges your hands, should be practiced thoroughly with a metronome. You already know this, now go do it. |
