  • Basic Workout
  • Key   Am
  • Tempo   30 bpm
  • Tuning   EADGBE

This basic workout for the A minor pentatonic scale in 5th position on the guitar incorporates alternate picking. You will play the scale ascending and descending, continuously. Aim for clarity before speed always. Play at a speed you can feel relaxed and control your tension and dynamics.


Try to play this at least 10 times in a row cleanly. Go for even more repetitions to build endurance and use this as a warmup exercise before playing songs that are in the key of A minor, or use those "shapes" with a capo.
