I've used these myself, and have found them to be quite
amazing, both in
strengthening your fingers and in training your mind. If you look at the
patterns, they represent the three patterns that most
scales are composed of:
Half step -
whole step, whole step - half step, whole step - whole step. If you get fast enough at playing it, people will
worship you. If
male, your
penis will be enlarged, if
female, your
breasts will grow a size.
Speed is everything in
guitar. Okay, enough with the
testosterone rant. Oh yes, play them using
alternate picking style for maximum benefit.
