@lemontree27013 they may seem lame, but they will TRULY BUILD your technique.

@voncoolio it's a mix of hammer ons, double thumb technique, and plucks with the index and middle fingers. Once you get the technique down, it looks harder than it really is. It helps to keep things "circular" if that makes any sense....
double thumbing can be tricky though.... think of your thumb like a pick.

@HammondB200 Holland, eh? (evil grin)

Play scales or one phrase (if you play a stringinstrument think in geometrical figures) to a clicktrack in all keys, starting at 60 bpm, play in quarternotes followed by eighthnotes, than in shuffle, than in truplets, than at 70 bpm. Constantly faster. Do this efficient: do NOT study what you already master. Do not play what you like to play in between the exercises. Rather do something that isn't about music. The exercises must serve a technical use in the first place.

gotta start way further down the line, get your technique up with lame exercises, starting slow en keep playing them faster. i'm a first years student at a conservatory in Holland. everybody is telling me that's the only way to get to the crazy stuff.
