Anybody care to list a few of their favorite drills, tabs, excerses, tips and ideas above and beyond the general scales for developing accuracy and a general harmony with the fretboard? Any exotic scales, little ditty's you've come up with to warm up, etc etc?

if anyone wants to give advice on how to best train weak fretting fingers (for me, my 3 and 4), that'd be appreciated also! I would accept "unending repetition" as an answer, though I'm hoping for something more in the "magic bullet" variety.

find a shawn lane page and download the exercises taken from articles

enjoy!

if you truly want to study fretboard harmony buy the book chord chemistry by ted greene, if any1 tells you to get a different book, they are silly people, just get the book and study counterpoint

then you wont be square like yngwie


if you want more knowledge that will last you forever grab the thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns by slonimsky;however it may be way beyond your understanding of music, but i recommend getting all of the above if you are serious about expanding your musical ability
