It's interesting, I started this thread a long time ago, but I just saw your recent posts. And over the last couple days I've been thinking of recording a video of me going over 100 of my favorite exercises (most of them geared towards lead guitar in general, and speed of course).

I know 100 exercises seems like a lot, but that's only after I've narrowed it down and picked my favorite ones! I have hundreds of 'em. I was even going to break it down into four categories (25 exercises for each): Alternate picking, Economy/Sweep Picking, Legato, and Dexterity. Some of them I've come up with on my own, some are variations on ones I've learned from others, and a lot of them have come out of videos and books like "Speed Mechanics" or "John Petrucci's Wild Stringdom."

I know this video will be a lot of work, but if enough people want to see it, I'll be more than happy to record it.

Let me know!
