A good exercise for a beginner is just playing some chord sequences so that you can get the chord changes quick. This also helps you to learn the "feel" of the chords so you can automatically play them without thinking about them.

Learning some standard scales will also help you for later when you want to play solos!

The first thing i would recomend is a good guitar,
Teacher to get you started.
About exercises i alwasy start my students out with,
a tune on a single string .
This way they can learn plus i can help them with,
thier left hand control ,plus right hand picking.
Remember the teacher can spot incorrect fingering,
plus how to hold the pick.
Its not so boreing when you get to play a tune right off,
when you first start learning.
Also i teach them how to tune thier guitar in the first,
lesson.Really to a beginner tuning your guitar is a,
excercise. In a single string exercise you can learn,
down-strokes plus up-strokes before we go on to ,
chords and those boreing scales that we have to learn.

I know the basics of guitar playing and I do know something about scales.I don't play rock, I play METAL!!!
I meaned some good excercises for gaining speed and accuracy.
I also meaned some excercises for left hand technique.

Sorry about my answer but i took it you did/nt know the,
basics.hmmmmmmmm
Hey it don/t matter what style of music u play or,
what you want to play.
Work on your scales but start slow then as you go along,
get a little faster until you can get good clean notes;
plus gain accuracy with your left hand.
I would say your question should have been placed in.
(Technique and Style)

I suggest learning a bunch of your favorite bands songs. For instance "Jump in the Fire" by Metallica, "Angel of Death" by Slayer, or maybe "I'm Broken" by Pantera. And if you don't like those songs, then may God have mercy on your pathetic soul.

Kirk Hammett is God!

to: Kirk Hammet is God

I like many Slayer Songs (I have Decade of Agression), but I think that Angel of Death is bit too fast to me(now). I can play the second solo of the Antichrist (that is the solo beginning with slide) and I can play the solo of Nothing else matters.My bigger brother is better than me. He can play almost every solo at Metallica's Ride the Lightning and Black(you know the cd with black coverage).
I don't think Kirk Hammett is special in any way.
I think that Romeo(Symphony X), John Petrucci(Dream Theater)
and Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius) are insane fast and ****ing good players.Yngvie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, John Petrucci and Romeo are Gods!!!!1
