Acyclic Speed Bursts
IMPORTANT RULES TO KEEP THIS SAFE!
- do no more than 7 repetitions
- after a max of 7 repetitions rest for at least 20 seconds
- Keep muscle tension to an absolute minimum all over the body
- Eliminate all tension between reps
It is also important to remember that speed bursts discourage our sense of rhythm and time, so It is important to do the day 2 gear shifting exercises as well to keep your left hands rhythmic accuracy.
Try these three variations for now on whichever strings are comfortable.
5^7^9,
9^7^5,
5^7^9^7^5
Pick one, do 7 reps, rest and repeat a maximum of 6 times. then practice something less demanding, then come back and practice it again. I advise taking a few minutes off, do some active listening/ear training to give the hands a rest.
