Daily Exercises

These are some exercises that you can do daily to improve your guitar playing ability.

The first one is to help your picking speed. It is also a good way to practice alternate picking and timing.
E-1-2-3-4-----------------------------------------
b---------1-2-3-4---------------------------------
g-----------------1-2-3-4-------------------------
d--------------------------1-2-3-4----------------
a----------------------------------1-2-3-4--------
e------------------------------------------1-2-3-4

Then go backwards:
E-----------------------------------------4-3-2-1
b---------------------------------4-3-2-1--------
g-------------------------4-3-2-1----------------
d-----------------4-3-2-1------------------------
a---------4-3-2-1--------------------------------
e-4-3-2-1----------------------------------------

Do this all the way to the 12th fret. Or you can go farther if you want. Do all this in alternate picking(down,up,down,up,etc.)
