Guitar warm up routines – 10 essential exercises for complete technique
Guitar warm up routines are a key part of your daily practice. A common mistake many players make is focusing too much on one technical skill — and ignoring the rest. You might be working on your left-hand speed but neglecting your picking accuracy. Stretching your fingers, but missing the string with your pick. Nailing legato, but struggling with alternate picking. Sound familiar?
Course overview
This course gives you 10 warm-up routines I originally created for myself — to build technique in a complete and balanced way. Each exercise focuses on a different aspect of guitar playing, so by adding them to your daily practice, you’ll see progress in speed, accuracy, control, and musical awareness. It’s designed for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players alike, because it develops core technical skills that are essential at every stage of learning guitar.
What you’ll learn
- Stretching exercises for the left hand
- String skipping for precision and coordination
- Smooth position shifts across the fretboard
- Arpeggios and arpeggio enclosures for melodic phrasing
- Travis picking for right-hand independence
- Double stops for harmony and groove
- Right-hand finger patterns for picking control
- Alternate picking and legato for speed and fluidity
And to keep things fun, each exercise is designed to feel like part of a real song — not just a mechanical drill.

This course was a challenge, with lots of practice, but I’ve already seen my technique improve. Interface with tabs and slo motion is mind-blowing and learning new things has never been so much fun. I recommend it to anyone who wants to level up their skills
