Guitar Warm-up part 2

This is the second-half of my warm-up that I do before every practice and every show. The first half incorporates my variation of an exercise I first saw in a Guitar World magazine then in Speed Kills 2. The second-half is one of my favorite Megadeth riffs broken down into a picking exercise. My speaking ability is about 1/10 my guitar playing ability haha, but my hope is that this video helps you understand proper warm-up techniques and that it reaches out to the players that really need it.

[fhatsk8er]

I try to get at least 2 hours per day. During summer I go for a lot more

i have a question. in the first part of the warm up you were talking about extending the fingers. I have extremely...well not extremely but i have small hands...my fingers cant stretch btwn the 11 and 16th fret....it doesnt work...should i try mayb stretching my fingers more before playing or should i just drop a fret?

[fhatsk8er]

Sorry for the rather late response, if you're starting the exercise it will take some time to build up to. Do the stretches on higher frets first, then work your way down. You can even start the stretches on higher frets for an easier reach. If you have small hands, just go down as far as you need to warm up (especially with the last stretch)

That's kind of like the Dimebag warm up only he does trills with each finger instead of 1-2 it's 1-2-1-2 your good you know what I mean.
