Hello there fellow music lovers! I would like to welcome you to my second article for ActiveBass.com. I hope you all had a chance to check out my first article "Hand Coordination Exercise" and found it helpful. This time I would like to share an exercise I have been using in my regular practice routine for some time now.
One of the coolest things, I thought my first year in college, was the fact that you were allowed to smoke cigarettes in school. I have long since kicked the habit, but of course back then I would always show up early to hang out in front of the Jazz Class with all the guitar players who were "warming up" before class and have a smoke or two.
I would watch as these guys would run through their lightning fast scales, impossible looking stretches and the newest two handed tapping licks, all in supposed preparation for comping clean chords over "Autumn Leaves." But there was always this one guy who really caught my interest. Sitting alone with his guitar, not out to impress anyone, he would simply hold down one note.
