BUILD YOUR CHOPS!

The Dexterity Builders Series lays the groundwork to help you build better chops, dexterity and strength to improve your playing. A football player doesn’t perform weight lifting and exercise drills during a game but these preliminary activities build the skill and strength he uses on the playing field.  In the same way by mastering scale patterns up and down the neck you will become comfortable with the patterns and develop the ability to create music by using scales.  These are also good exercises to work on quietly while watching TV to create "Finger Memory."  Once mastered you can continue these exercises for a few minutes daily to maintain your dexterity level.
