This may be one of the most important guitar videos. I'm serious. We spend so much time trying to learn everything, get confused, and then burned out. Where we should instead start with something that's goal oriented, foundational, as well as keep up moving. This workout is short enough and long enough that it keeps us activated with the guitar. If used daily it will open up a world of more techniques while allowing us to have a solid foundation of guitar playing. So, this will he my daily workout. I may find others, but this one will be my goto.

Dude I want to be like that at 70 I'm 15 and seriously that's so cool

Some suggestions for after you've been doing this for a while: 1. On all the picking exercises, start with an upstroke instead of a downstroke. I find it to be especially useful for the more picking-heavy exercises, such as the spider exercise. You can also try playing only downstrokes or upstrokes. 2. You can increase the video speed as you get better. For example, I find the legato exercises way too easy so I play them at 1.5 speed. 3. Some exercise specific suggestions: Legato - try playing it unplugged. on the last legato exercise, you can do 134 instead of 124. This way you're also exercising your Ring finger. Extended stretches - try moving down the frets, as the distance between the frets is bigger on the lower ones (Personally I'm not there yet lol, as I still can't do all 3 stretching exercises without stopping) Remember, you don't have to do ALL exercises - for example, I don't find the bending exercise very effective for me, so I usually skip it. And lastly, thanks for this video mike!

wow amazing routine, i had a multi year break after playing and teaching myself for 9 years and just got back into it again 1 month ago and this is absolutely perfect to get back into that hand synchronization and dexterity

This video is simply a masterpiece. Thank you so much Mike I come back to this everyday and improve my guitar technique a little more every time. Wish every music teacher was like you!

Thanks so much for creating this! I tried the whole thing today and it really highlighted the weak points in my technique, as well as things that are very physically challenging for me.

Just started learning this routine. The other video of just the spider exercise is, without a doubt, a great one. No doubt our fingers will get stronger and better doing these every day for a few weeks. Very good!

I have a lot of respect for your honesty, humility, and your interactive style of making videos

Super ideas out there among the regular usual stuff. I love the variation on the spider thingy and the string skipping exercice was really tricky. Thanks a lot for the inspiration !

Awesome lesson. This is was I’ve been looking for. I can definitely feel my hands being worked!! Thx for video🤘🏻

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. It's become part of my daily practice!

This is great. Definitely will be putting these into my daily routine. Thank you.

This is THE BEST guitar workout video I've ever seen !!! Thank you !!! :)

You're amazing man I've learnt so many things from you keep uploading this kinda videos and god bless you!

This is so perfect, thank you! I can already see my improvement in my playing. Gonna do this every day right when I wake up and right before I sleep.

These exercises are perfect if you want to improve dexterity and stamina. Amazing lesson.

Aewsome video, was searching for a video just like this to start practicing, loved it!!

El mejor video! Llevo 13 años tocando la guitarra, aprendí mucho en el transcurso de ese tiempo, estudié y toco cosas complejas, pero nunca hice ejercicios diariamente y constantemente, ayer descubrí éste video, lo estoy haciendo dos veces al día y los cambios ya se notan, siento que mis dedos flotan, muchísimas gracias, tu manera de enseñar es muy práctica y fácil de entender, es lo que necesitaba, gracias gracias

Mike, truly great stuff. couldn't keep up on the 16ths @ 95bpm at first but three weeks and I​ can do it at 105 no sweat now I also do it backwards and have invented a couple of my own. Thanks a million and please give us more.

This Channel Grows to one of my FAVOURITE Guitar Channels ... With you it's a real obsession with all your knowledge of technique and harmony etc. ABSOLUTELY great!!

I've been coming back to this every now and then over the years. Just wanted to say thanks for the great video.

This is by Far the best class to start . I started classes locally and classes are wack . This is helping me more than I expected . I am a new subscriber and a fan. Salute

Just came across this video and am eager to get started on it. Thank you for posting.

this video is the only video i come to during every home practice, thank you for making it

FINALLY someone that actually shows the exercise and explain why it helps!!!! I also subbed

Man every time I watch and learn something from one of your video exercise lessons I find about 4 more vids I have to add to my watch later Playlist. Thanks for sharing your experience 👊

Best session in youtube till date thanks a lot... i am struggling since months to get proper excercise to my fingers.. it was very helpful... better than any other in youtube.. moreover the best

I was so happy when I found this, saved it right away and it was going to be my daily warm up, here we are year later and I'm doing it for the second time...

jsut did this again... it is an amazing video, my overall playing improves so much. thanks again. you are a master to many.

This is great. I’ve learned hundreds of noodles and riffs but when I try to sit down and write a daily workout routine, I either go blank or practice them in the wrong order, putting too much strain on certain fingers. I’m really glad you focused on stretching, warming up, and giving each hand a break from certain motions. Reminds me of the old Petrucci workout videos.

Excellent exercises, thank you Mike! These have really opened up my alternate picking.

This is the best Guitar exercise video ever, I have only been able to do Spider exercises properly and can already feel the difference in my playing. I am going to follow this video everyday. Thank you.

Good stuff! Definitely adding this to my finger exercises.

These are super important and I do these when I warm up. It really does make a difference in the long run. Most classic heavy metal songs are legato crazy and bend crazy as well.

Thkz, just right i was looking for, great workout!!

Excellent! I learned a lot. A go-to video for sure.

Thanks for your noble efforts for guitar beginners.

Great lesson video, thanks for posting this video!! The Tabs definitely helped! 👍

i did a metalcore riff i'm trying to perfect since a few days after doing these exercices, and this is so much easier now lol, al:so great way for me to identifies my default huge thanks :)

This video helpt me in 8 months more then self practice and 2 guitar teachers did in 10 years!!!

This is like taking lessons, thank you very much!

Ive seen you comment on other guitarists videos and youre very supportive I appreciate that big time

This is amazing. Everything I was looking for in 1 video. Thank you so much! Pull offs are hard but this exercice is very helpful . Who am I kidding everything here is helpful

amazing, it helps me to work out with the metronome!!

Very good exercise. The sweeping part is perfect for me as I'm just about beginning with sweeping

this is so good! @28:53 my intonation was weird so i threw in bend up/ slide up to same pitch/ bend back up and ensure you're intonation hits, thank you! finally found an exercise for leap-bends!

thank you so much for this practice! been playing guitar for 9 years now and this is really good for me

This is GOLD, Mike. Thanks.

Thank you so very much for these videos, Mike!!!

I love your play along with exercises. You should make a playlist of all of them!

This is awesome, I've been doing this for about 2 weeks everyday. I've improved since I used this workout

I I’ve these type of vids. Please keep them coming.

This is THE video. No more wondering what to warm up with. Thank you!

This and the downpicking exercise have vastly improved my general playing on both my electric and acoustic guitars. It’s only been a week or so since I began doing them both consistently, so I hope so see a ton more improvement to come Thanks man!

So much done in 30 mins (maybe longer with hitting spacebar in between). Best workout I've come across, thanks!

This is a great practice routine man.Keep up the good work

There we go! Doing the stretches in 6's is where my hand started to hurt a little, so it's good to find a warmup that actually works my hand a little! As a college trained trombone player, it can be a struggle sometimes to find equally as useful warmup exercises like I'm used to for working on stuff like this, so these are very appreciated!

Much respect. Been self teaching for a while and this vid is gonna teach me some good stuff.

Hey Mike as someone whos been learning and followi g a lot of your videos, this was def a great watch, Its easier to practice with these follow along style vids, so if you ever need Ideas for videos, I wouldn't mind at all you uploading a few more of these follow along exercises routines! Awesome stuff! Hope to see more!

Great stuff, you managed to cover pretty much every technique, thanks a lot mate!

Subbed because of this vid. What a legend!

What an awesome lesson. Thank you 🙏🏻

As a complete beginner, I'm only adding one "section" at a time and building, and I've only just started to add the extended stretches to the routine, but it has helped my playing a ton.

For the spider exercises I would actually recommend using scales instead as it kills two birds with one stone you learn scales and get faster at the same time. Use any scales you want, though at the start I would recommend just doing the major scale or pentatonic.

I just start with the first exercise and really focusing on accuracy and playing, after a few days of already noticing a significant improvement in my playing.

I would like to tell that I would truly love this exercises when I was starting this is a gold for a beginner its very basic and very straight to the point for more crazy guys out there I would recommend John Petruccis tutorial which is insane particularly for sweeps and alternate picking! Thank you very much to find time to do this great series-if you have a time to do more advanced staff on string skipping tappings 6 string sweeps string skipping arpeggios I would be more than happy

Your videos are a great help Im 60 and still love to practice not just learn licks THANK YOU Johnny

I love the exercise it’s not boring thank god and I feel I’m getting better with it!👍🏼

I only started this yesterday but I noticed today that my fingers are so much more confident on the fretboard? Like when I'm playing it feels smoother and I'm so excited to keep practicing this stuff coz boy does it feel good to be playing better and getting better technical skills. Thanks Mike!

For this you got my subscription. I want to see more. Great material
