Cheers!

This is one of those things i wish i had put the time into correcting a few years back.. hell you live you learn right? I just want to have that nice smooth relaxed looking L.H position that everyone seems to have these days - fingers hardly moving it looks like on so many vids ive seen (vai / satch / angelo / gilbert etc...)

My main aim at the moment is to be able to play a chromatic scale at a rapid speed flawlessly - a quest which is constantly eluding me - i can zoom up the scale at the moment but when it comes to going back down and playing it backwards... it all falls appart - i choke notes and my picking gets all out of synch.. its frustrating :) im gonna try your little gem of an excercise for a bit.
