Hi, I created some detailed notes so I can follow this routine myself and I'd figure I'd share since some people asked about a PDF in the comments. I also made up some names to go along with each exercise. If anything is wildly off post a comment and I'll correct it later. --- 1 - "Root Note Identification" Use the CAGED system to find common root notes in the different shapes and positions. Go all the way up the neck. Use the common notes as a guide, and make sure to play all of them every time you switch positions. Start with C, and work around the circle of fifths. Goal of this is to help fretboard visualization. 2 - "1-3-2-4 Exercise" Play across the fretboard using the finger pattern 1-3-2-4, one finger per fret. Start on the low E and work towards the high E. Once you play the last note, shift your hand up one fret then work back towards the low E, still using the 1-3-2-4 finger pattern and starting with a down stroke. Goal of this is to get your fingers in a good mood. 3 - "Chromatic Hand Synchronization" Starting from the A on the G string, play the chromatic scale up to and down from the A on the high E using alternate picking. On the way down from A, pick the Bb twice to the restart the pattern with a down stroke. Repeat this pattern until you reach A natural on the G string again, then work back down the neck. Goal of this exercise it to warm up the right hand and to get both your hands in sync. 4 - "Slide Pentatonic on the Big Strings" Play the Am pentatonic scale on the bottom 3 strings, starting from the E. Play the scale in one position, then on the last note, slide up to the next note in the next position. Play this new pentatonic scale down to the root. Repeat this pattern up the neck, then work your way back down. This exercise can be done with any key, Am is just an example. Goal is to view the guitar more horizontally instead of vertically. 5 - "Slide Pentatonic on All Strings" Same idea as exercise 4, but each pentatonic run spans 2 octaves and all 6 strings instead of 1 octave and the bottom 3 strings. Goal is same as well. 6 - "Hybrid Picking Workout" Hybrid pick by alternating between downstrokes with your pick and plucks with your middle finger. Skip a string when you pluck, i.e. if you pick the A pluck the G. Play the F major scale this way, alternating between triad arpeggios and pentatonic scales as your work down the neck. This means play the an F triad, Gm pentatonic, Am triad, Bb pentatonic, C triad, Dm pentatonic, Edim triad, and finally F pentatonic. Slide between the final note to next root note after your chord or pentatonic scale. The chord arpeggios only come down from the low E, and the pentatonics only work up. This is very weird sounding on paper, so reference this tab by Ben C-D to get a better idea of what's going on, postimg(dot)cc/SjTFSMDW. The goal is to work on both hybrid picking, and another unique way to look at scales. 7 - "Double-Stop Cascade" In a major key, play the melodic line of 1-2-b3-3-5-6 in 3 octaves with various double-stops up the neck. Start in 3rds for 1-2-b3-3, then 4ths for 5-6, then 3rds for the next 1-2-b3-3, then triads, then 6ths. Walk down in the pentatonic scale while still using double stops. Having fun with the voicings is the important part here. Think of a vaguely country sound and you'll be in the right territory. Goal is to explore different sounds and chord voicings.
I’ve implemented Asato’s routine for more than a week now. This routine really helps piece things together. The first exercise is great in learning octaves and their relationship on the fretboard. I know where the notes are but there’s a difference in letting your fingers memorize them. I’m still working on the 6 and 7th exercises. Currently I’m working on playing with less stress and more accuracy. I realize the importance of how you practice is how you play. I’m taking it slow. Allowing my fingers to be accurately placed, avoiding buzz and ensuring my notes are full. This routine is a daily keeper 🙏🏻
This was incredible. Just in terms of finger strength, & dexterity - Wow. Mateus Asato is next-level. I love his playing. Thanks for sharing. oNe LovE from NYC
Thank you for this! I guess I’ve been living under a rock for the past several years. I just discovered Mateus a couple of weeks ago and my mind has been blown ever since. Been obsessed with his playing and wanted to learn more of how he thinks as a musician. This video is perfect for me! Forever grateful for you, Mateus and Joe. 🙏🏼
OMG Asato lol. Every time he says "Oh i forgot to mention that part there, yeah" the WHOLE EXERCISE LEVELS UP. I love the difficulty in just learning the theory behind them. It's like concentrating a calculus textbook down to a 10 page cheat sheet. I am creating the tablature to each exercise in all keys eventually... it just takes a very long time.
Deve-se passar um filme na cabeça do Mateus, tendo treinado estes exercícios por tanto tempo e ter atingido um nível insano de técnica e depois repassá-los.
When I only had an acoustic guitar, I would always play the exercise 5 alteast 2 years before I got my electric guitar, it helped me visualize the fret board easier when starting out
I think in #7 he actually switches to "4ths" for those transitions in between all the 3rds & 6ths. IF the lower held note is the next note from the scale.. so the note above it is a 4th. Of course they are indeed 5ths if the order was inverted. He is a wizard!!
In exercise 6 i'm a little confused. Mateas is skipping strings when doing the chord arpeggios F Am C Emflat5 - I get that. But on the descending pentatonic 'shapes' he's not always skipping strings there. and of course these shapes are 2 notes per string, not 1 like the chords. I'm trying to understand the logic of the pentatonic pattern. And are these pentatonic shapes all relative to F Major key? thanks for any help to clarify.
You're right. In the Gm pentatonic descending he skips a string then doesn't skip while doing something like a turnaround then skips again then dont etc
@@evening_kovacs thanks, ya that’s what I thought and on the 4 chord he plays the pentatonic shape of Bflat that is in Gm not of FMajor. There is no 4th degree in pentatonic.does that make sense?
@@kurtgarrison1065 It's not a 4th degree... it's a 4th interval... When you have that famous minor pentatonic shape, for example, all the notes you play with that finger make pairs of 4ths if you pick 2 strings in sequence. That is the "left side" of the shape (closer to the headstock). The other "side" will have the same relation, but you use different fingers. I guess this is what they mean by saying 4ths here. (PS. I'm also struggling with these exercises haha)
Thanks for having me! That was fun! You’re one of a kind, Joe! ✨
Thank you so much for sharing this! I will definitely be putting this into practice every day!
Aô, Campo Grande! ❤️
Mateus! Thanks a million.. this has been a blast 😊🎶
Love u mateus !
Please do how you dial in your tones :)

You da man Gill
thank you so much gill
Massively helpful, thank you. Couldn't quite work out what I was supposed to do in 7 but that makes it a lot clearer.
THANKYOU 🙏
Thank you sooooooooooooo muuuuuuch Gill!!!! Really helpful indeed. Cheers from Brazil!
I actually need to warm up to warm up the Mateus ‘s warm-ups
This is the most important guitar-practice video of the last decades... SO GOOD.

David Acosta thank you very much My friend 🙏🏻☮️🎸
This was more educative in 30 minutes than a whole year in guitar classes. Thanks for that.
I spent a LONG time figuring out what the pentatonic pattern is @24:42 Here's the notes from top to bottom: G-C-F-A#-D-G-C-F-B-D-G-C-F-A#-D-G.
Man just covers the whole music theory with a warm up. This is extremely helpful. Thank you!
the whole music theory
-lol
I get the idea you don't really know what music theory is.
Thanks for these! Asato is a modern hero.
This was incredible. Just in terms of finger strength, & dexterity - Wow. Mateus Asato is next-level. I love his playing. Thanks for sharing. oNe LovE from NYC
Even Asato’s warmups sound awesome. Amazing.

Thew way his face lights up at 3:22 is real nice. Music is wholesome stuff
Big thanks for taking the time to do this and sharing it with us all :D Love both your energies! So gassed to get this warm up into my routine!
Thank you REVERB for arranging all these and THANK YOU MATEOUS, i have never seen guitarist like you its so juicy and melodic
This was a great video! You are a great host.
Loving this video series! I'd love to see Julian Lage's Warm up routine. Anyone agree? Thank you once again! X

Next: Lari Basilio pls
good idea
Joe, you’re so rad. Can see the excitement of guitar playing in ya. Awesome to see! God bless!
Thank you for posting! And Thank you Mateus for sharing. 🙏🏽
Thanks to both of you.💐
"I feel like i don't have a very good right hand" is the craziest thing I've ever heard come out of Mateus Asato's mouth
1) 24:51 2) 24:56 3) 25:01 4) 25:08 5) 25:09 6) 25:15 / 28:10 / 28:27 / 28:29 / 28:32

Really great video and exercises. No 7 A and B you can hear alot of his normal style coming from that. Thanks mam
I need these exercises. Thank you
I have it on my youtube pag - tabs and Guitar pro!
Wow! This gave me some really useful stuff to work on!
So happy I found this ❤
Some of these remind me of the lessons I have seen in the past on Pebber Brown’s channel.
GREAT video. Thanks very much for sharing.
Thank you both you guys are awesome!!!!
Very very good and new types of exercises thank you so much

Can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this
I love how Mateus Asato,,give the lesson for free❤️❤️❤️
Very intelligent exercises, doesn't take much time and really helps to understand the guitar
These are unreal. So helpful
Love this video series! Again, I would like to se Joes warm-up
Refreshing, fun, and .... challenging....super great - thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this
Thx for the lesson. I like how he breaks it down
Thanks joe, thanks lot Mateus🙏🏽😇
Awesome exercises.Feels like i wanna do this a routine.. Big thanks 🙏
This is great!!! Thank you guys!
Thanks for the tips. Great video !
missed ya Joe!

Wow! Such a great lesson, thank you. 🙂
A PDF of all of these exercises would be a huge help
Just did it. It's the last video of my youtube channel. Hope you like it, cheers!
Thank you@@nicolasfresard!

Yes! Julian Lage, please!
Awesome video!!!
Thank you for something to strive for
Nice one Joe. 🤯
Tosin Abasi's Warm Up pls
Very interesting and super helpful !!
The exercise starting at 7:50 is really cool
This literally became my new practice routine lol
great series!
great exercises! thank you. also curious, what is the black hollow (or semi?) guitar with tailpiece at 35:20 for instance?
that's a guitar made by an exciting new company in Michigan - Midcoast Guitars.. check them out!
Really helpful ✨
This is Gold!
Great!
This is awesome.
That was excellent
Great stuff!
Thank you mateus
Finally the secret is found
huge! big thx guys!
These are really great. Lots to chew on here.
How did you play that high C at 2:23! Insane...so cool. Love your style
Thx bro
Learning the neck is the big one ,
Esse vídeo vale mais que muito curso na hotmart por aí
does anyone have tab on #7?
its confusing me

@@bend-c8405 hey thank you so much for posting this!
Good job 👍
can someone explain the last exercise in a detailed manner, i cant understand what these fourths, sixths, thirds are,
anyone know the name of that black hollow body the presenter is playing at the end there? that thing is beautiful
Random question: Why does the image quality change when seen from the sides?
Aren't the minor pentatonic exercises also major pentatonic exercises?
can someone tell me how to implement exercise 6 to my playing? is it just practicing hybrid picking?
I watched this whole thing and I don't even play guitar
wow.
23:47 “Arpeggiato” :)
what key is the way back on the second part of exercise 7 where he said that he does a Triad on the D key?
Wow
so this is how you reach Ultra Instinct Asato mode!!!
Carl Verheyen next, please!
this is my first time hearing mateus speaking lol
