A Dorian exercise (fast & slow)

[bill_banwell]

Hey Talkbass - i've been using this exercise as a warmup and warmdown for a fair few years, its a great movement for syncing up both hands, thought i would share for you, i also made a backing track to practice to up and down tempo, let me know if you would like the mp3..

As a warm up the exercise is good...BUT... only if played slowly. The idea of a warm up is to SLOWLY introduce the fingers/hands to the upcoming "work" expected of them.

I don't quite agree, but thats okay, i feel building it up to a faster tempo and then back down is a great warm-up, kind of like a pyramid in bpm, but each to their own! everyone has things that work for them, this is what works well for me and i'm sure a few other people!
