[Appfro]

very cool. thx

dmbtabs.com welcome to it

[ballmeblazer]

that is one finger exercise. thanks man. welcome to the boards.

[nate]

Excellent post. I been meaning to find stuff like this and work on alternate picking and finger quickness. thanks for the post.

[Speenis]

That looks like a tab to an Umphrey's McGee song...but for best results use fingertapping

[MattJ]

Here's another one that's helped me get a lot more pick control lately. The name of the lesson is a little cheesy, but whatever.

[onid41]

nice nice, lookin for something like this lately..thanks man

[c_tietze]

I want to give you THE finger after attempting that...j/k

Not to sound cliche, but if you do finger exercises accurately and often you're speed and accuracy will improve!

[Grachi]

awesome. I'm going to use that to warm up before I play/ when I attempt playing the Stone

definatley if you can use a metromone with those you can definately tell your speed increases

if anyone needs help on how to use it just let me know

[Davy28]

Looks more like a live timmy solo.

Hey this might sound really stupid, but in doing these exercises one thing I have noticed that makes me want to punch a hole in the fucking wall is my pinky finger is out of control. What I mean is that everytime I take my pinky off to hit another note it flies way up in the air..no matter how hard I try it seems like when I am hitting other notes with other fingers my pinky just wants to fly up in the air, obviously reducing speed and accuracy. Is this normal? I am hoping that it is just that my muscles in my pinky aren't strong enough yet (due to lack of doing these exercises years ago) to have good control..Anyway if anyone can shoot some tips or hope my way let me know, cause right now it just feels like I have smoked too much pot and my brain doesn't operate my pinky and probably a lot of other things for that matter.
