I was expecting this to actually be boring, but out of all the exercies i have tried this is really entertaining. Thank you for being there for newbies like me.
Eddie, I am convinced that when you teach, it is directly from your heart and from your undeniable love of music and the instrument you play. Unfortunately, we live in a world that’s inhabited by unthankful, unappreciative folks who, for their own reasons, just cannot say Thank You ! Instead, they whine and make snide remarks. I, and I am sure many others also, am very thankful for the instructional “Gems”, you take your time to send our way, Free of charge ! Bless you man, continue to do what you do and have a wonderful Holiday Season
He is so good so well explained I love the split picture so you can see how the picking is done not many guitar teachers do this he is the business love 💓 it cheers Larrysullivan in London
Hi Yah, I'm getting back into playing guitar, and want to things from the beginning. You're exercises and licks are really helping me out. I'm playing electric for the first time, and really enjoying it. Thank you for the work your doing. Much appreciated.
Love the exercise Eddy. Adding it to the routine especially for syncing. Thats a big struggle for me and this looks like it will work for that. See yah later at GMM for the lesson tonight.
Thank you for sharing how to get here, to learn more about playing my acoustic guitar. By the way fabulous lesson GMM.... Eddy! You must have more lessons, before this particular one. Let me know, again. Thank you
Really good exercise harder than u think but taking it slow with a metranome seems to be the trick for me wish I found this earlyer thanks for this mate love it
🤯🤯🤯 whoah!! Ima have tl try this!most definitely need it and the up and down picking as well. I struggle with that tremendously. Thanks for the video 👍👍
My god, this is the best spider exercise I've seen. As a beginner, this has made a world of difference in my alternate picking skills. THANK YOU (and I rung that bell :))!
Eddie, it'll take me years before I can play this exercise as fast as you did!!! In reference to the B Chromatic scale you tabbed with all the nine bars!
For the very beginners, can you elaborate on how to incorporate a metronome with this exercise? Meaning, what “bpm” (beats per minute) do you recommend to set the metronome to? Should I at first set it at the lowest and work my way up to faster beats? Thanks.
in fact for years he was playing on an incorrect understanding of CG style. it's amazing that when he found out about his mistake he changed everything while he was already a respected and famous player
I have not seen any video yet that focuses on the right hand technique that will improve speed. I already do a bunch of natural scale exercises but my speed is limited by my right hand. Do you have something for this? Maybe a future video? Thanks
@@GuitarMasteryMethod i started doing this particular lesson. I see an immediate improvement in my speed on the right hand. I will go slower though and gradually build my speed. I’ll check out your video. Thanks!
@@huntmasterism Its similar to the spider walk but instead of going linear on the same string you go up and down, ascend and descend. Instead of playing frets 1 2 3 4 on the 6th string you would play 1st fret 6th string , 2nd fret 5th string, 3rd fret 4th string, 4th fret 3rd string. Then reverse it to descend. Third string 1st feet, 4th string second fret, 5th string 3rd fret, 6th string 4th fret . Then move to 5th string and play the same thing. Then 4th string. Move all the way up the neck to the 12th string. Its very challenging for me anyway. . Eddie has a video on it. Hope this helps.
I really admire your skill and ability playing that exercise. I just wish I knew what you were talking about "UNLOCKING" the frets. I checked my guitar and there are no locks. Every fret is wide open and I still can't do what you're doing. :(
you could have slowed it down to demo it. I had to watch this several times to see it. but thanks for doing this. big fan. this sounds like that tune they play in cartoons when the bumblebee is buzzing around your head. lol
At first it's very complex, I think when you get your head around it (a few thousand times) as you say it gets boring, but not really it's challenging. To get it smooth, it does improve your skill. I like this "game ". Great lesson Eddie ,good way to warm up before a gig !!!
The millionth chromatic exercise... These exercises are useful to learn to play music like reading the words of the dictionary in sequence is useful to learn to speak.
Your explanation is more than the demo of the particular exercise as if you are intended that no body should catch it. Better be an Orator in a public speech than a Guitarist!!!!!!

Appreciate it! Thank you for sharing.
I saw this exercise in an article in Guitar Player Magazine back in the mid-1970s. Still use it every day to warm up. Simple and effective.
Me too.
I used to pick those up, wish I saved them now.

That's not as boring as some other chromatic exercises; shows some interesting musical possibilities.

Awsome tutorial. Thank you
Eddie, it'll take me years before I can play this exercise as fast as you did!!! In reference to the B Chromatic scale you tabbed with all the nine bars!
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Yea, I know....My fingers need super caffeine!!!
Thanks for this vedio 👍👍👍
Don't see Eddie on an acoustic often! Great lesson, thanks!
Playing for 35 years. Stagnant AF... This is VERY refreshing!! Working on it now!
Thanks man!
That's so brilliantly simple! I'm going to start doing this daily. Thanks!
Starting slow that's what I'm doing but not by choice
After replaying 20 times I think I got it
Thanks for the lesson 🎸
Love your lessons man
Excellent lesson and I would add one more point - always practice with a metronome. It will improve your playing dramatically.
For the very beginners, can you elaborate on how to incorporate a metronome with this exercise? Meaning, what “bpm” (beats per minute) do you recommend to set the metronome to? Should I at first set it at the lowest and work my way up to faster beats? Thanks.
@@TheOuttabody Set bpm so that you can play the exercise with no mistakes and everything else - speed, tone, execution, ect will follow.
I used one back in the day to play a piano! It helps with keeping a beet, to the music your trying to learn how to play.
Just the very exercise I need, thank you..
I found this very useful.
GOT IT!!! 👍🤠
A lesson like this is good be for bending and pulling
Looks like an exercise that would help me! I'm curious why in the key of B so high up the neck?
Cảm ơn bạn đã chỉ dạy
The close up on your fretting hand during this exercise is kinda hypnotic and fascinating
You said I don't need to know the chromatic scale, then told me what it is anyway. Shoot! Now I'm contaminated with that knowledge.
awesome, thanks, so helpful.
I am so into this lesson that I have it book marked on my computer.
wow tnx sir
Classical guitarist Julian Bream used a very similar exercise in the 1970s and it certainly worked for him.
in fact for years he was playing on an incorrect understanding of CG style. it's amazing that when he found out about his mistake he changed everything while he was already a respected and famous player
Eddie, anytime you place HUGH RESULTS, I don't doubt for a 16th note ! Continued thanks.
PEACE.
Been doing this for a while.It works.
I have not seen any video yet that focuses on the right hand technique that will improve speed. I already do a bunch of natural scale exercises but my speed is limited by my right hand. Do you have something for this? Maybe a future video? Thanks

thank you so much this video was really helpful SUBBED
Thks...
At first I thought you were doing part of Flight of The Bumblebee. Very cool, gotta try this.
Thanks again goat for sure amazing yoo
This videos hot me on the right track.
Practice of the chromatic bumble bee. 🐝
Yep I will
Cool...very useful
Thank you Eddie. This is awesome and so helpful. Between this and the spider climb I've got my work cut out for me. Thanks man.
what is the spider climb
@@huntmasterism Its similar to the spider walk but instead of going linear on the same string you go up and down, ascend and descend. Instead of playing frets 1 2 3 4 on the 6th string you would play 1st fret 6th string , 2nd fret 5th string, 3rd fret 4th string, 4th fret 3rd string. Then reverse it to descend. Third string 1st feet, 4th string second fret, 5th string 3rd fret, 6th string 4th fret . Then move to 5th string and play the same thing. Then 4th string. Move all the way up the neck to the 12th string. Its very challenging for me anyway. . Eddie has a video on it. Hope this helps.
Watching this a day before I try this. I'm just ready to go to sleep with this scale exercise on my mind.
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Sure did✌
I really admire your skill and ability playing that exercise. I just wish I knew what you were talking about "UNLOCKING" the frets. I checked my guitar and there are no locks. Every fret is wide open and I still can't do what you're doing. :(
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Glad to see you have a sense of humor... but I was serious. I don't know what you mean by unlock.
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Gotcha! :)
nice sir 😊
it seems like flight of the bumblebee... nice... subscribed bell on...
you could have slowed it down to demo it. I had to watch this several times to see it. but thanks for doing this. big fan. this sounds like that tune they play in cartoons when the bumblebee is buzzing around your head. lol
@@GuitarMasteryMethod I know and I did it. I'm just slow.
Boy ...U r good!
Hey ! Thanks Eddie ! I think this takes the drunken spider to a new level !
How do I get more of your videos Eddy
This channel right here! Dive in, Eddie has plenty of great lessons here. :)
I need this spider walk stage by stage sir
At first it's very complex, I think when you get your head around it (a few thousand times) as you say it gets boring, but not really it's challenging. To get it smooth, it does improve your skill. I like this "game ". Great lesson Eddie ,good way to warm up before a gig !!!
Wish you would go over the pattern slowly so I can see exactly how you do it 👀
@@GuitarMasteryMethod thanks, that helps
i do that exercise a lot
I really like your exercises, but that one went to fast for me. I’m going to have to watch it a 100 x’s before I get it.
But thanks none the less.
Thanks Eddie🧢
@@GuitarMasteryMethod 😂🧢
The millionth chromatic exercise...
These exercises are useful to learn to play music like reading the words of the dictionary in sequence is useful to learn to speak.
I know someone who's reading one page a day from a dictionary. He is pretty smart actually, speaks well.
Hey bro you get the speak slowly place I understand
sounds like flight of the bumblebee
If it wasn't for the guitar 🎸, id go nuts.
ฝึกนานไหมครับ
Still too advanced for us that don't know the fretboeard basics. Why did you start in the middle?
The fretboard repeats over and over (and over again)! But don't forget there is a one-fret jump at the B string because of the way it's tuned.
I see your fingers are not pressing those strings with pressure but still the sounds comes out.
Your explanation is more than the demo of the particular exercise as if you are intended that no body should catch it. Better be an Orator in a public speech than a Guitarist!!!!!!
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Hope my Comment couldn't enter your brain???!!!
Chromatic in the key of B? 🤔
Semiotics over semantics-he just means start on the b.
Needs a name. I'm calling it the Progressive Chromatic Exercise.
😊👍🏼
