| April 2008 will be my 1 year anniversary of picking up a guitar. I've said all along I will try and honestly evaluate my progress and decide where to go from there. I've enjoyed the 9 months so far and see no reason to stop....but I don't want to fool myself either. We'll see what the next three months brings. My self-evaluation question is: Where should I be at the One Year mark? I don't know if there's a right/wrong answer so I don't know how the evaluation process will play out. In the meantime, I'm still loving the practice....

| OK, it has been a long time since I have posted something in this thread. This is a new sheet of three note exercises I have done up for my students. I am using three patterns that are used alot in scales. The patterns are played in many different combinations. Loop each bar many times. Start off slow and slowly speed up. Good luck.

You should be as good as you are. Not really an answer, but if you love it don't stop. As long as you love doing it, you'll get better. Don't worry about deadlines, they will make you feel inferior, just keep rockin' |

| Thanks. I am working on a lot of pages of different exercises. I am not focusing on theory but technique. The exercises I am doing are designed to free your fingers of there invisible connections. Also get you to a point that no matter what the combination of notes and strings your fingers will do it with eeezzzz.  Also some different ways of looking at scales. |

| Here is a finger warm-up I use. It will let you know what your weekest and strongest fingers are. Doing this finger warm-up will improve your dexterity.
