How to create your own exercises
Everyone, ok, almost everyone know about “Spider” from John Patitucci, this is nice exercise which increases your speed and dexterity, but you can enable your own creativity to create your own exercises based on it.
For example, this is classic “spider”:
i r m p p m r i ----7---8---6---5----7---8--- --5---6---8---7-------------- and so on... -------------------5---6----- -----------------------------
You can add to your practice schedule exercise like this:
------7-8-5-6----------7-8--- --5-6---------7-8------------ and so on... -------------------5-6------- -----------------------------
or this
------6-8-5-7----------6-8--- --5-7---------6-8------------ and so on... -------------------5-7------- -----------------------------
Every hard piece of music you learn to play could be nice excerice. No pain - no gain.
Once in the store I’ve found this book. It is full of exercises placed in difficulty groups. There are plenty of stretch and dexterity increasers. I stole a lot of pieces from there to may daily warmup. Recommend for everyone from beginner to megabassguru.
