Greetings from Baltimore

Hey All,

My name is Otto. I joined CtC on Saturday and I’m obsessed. I’m 30 now and getting back into playing for the first time in years (maybe 20 or 21 the last time I was playing seriously). Never got very good when I was younger and in hindsight I realize a lot of that had to do with my awful picking technique (holding the pick in an insecure way, extreme edge picking and digging in too deep). Been doing 4 string chromatics to practice DWPS and UWPS since I joined. Going to posting a question soon.

One other question. What is the general consensus (if it exists) about using chromatic/scale exercises to practice instead of playing licks?

Thanks!
