This is a nice sequence to warm up your fingers and sharpen your time feel before doing other practice routines, listen to your metronome and make sure that every note lands on the beat.

Also make sure that you play your notes consistently, play nice and even (work on that too!!) let the notes flow into each other, with no daylight in between. Or try playing various techniques such as stacato or swing.

Mind your plugging- or picking hand too, alternate your fingers systematically and if u use a pick alternate your up- and down strokes consistently.

Tuning: EADG / use the one fret per finger technique / timing: 4/4
Finger numbers: 1 = index finger // 2 = middle finger // 3 = ring finger // 4 = pinky finger


Start with the metronome at 60 bpm and play each tone at every beat (quarter note)

   1  2  3  4    4  3  2  1    4  3  2  1    1  2  3  4  <-- fingers used

G|----------6--/-7-----------|----------2--/-3-----------|
D|-------5-----|----6--------|-------3-----|----4--------|
A|----4--------|-------5-----|----4--------|-------5-----|   play 2x
E|-3-----------|----------4--|-5-----------|----------6--|
 

then double it up and switch to two tones per beat (eighth note)

G|----------66-/-77----------|----------22-/-33----------|
D|-------55----|----66-------|-------33----|----44-------|
A|----44-------|-------55----|----44-------|-------55----|   play 2x
E|-33----------|----------44-|-55----------|----------66-|
  

next the triplet, three tones per beat

G|----------666/-777---------|----------222/-333---------|
D|-------555---|----666------|-------333---|----444------|
A|----444------|-------555---|----444------|-------555---|   play 2x
E|-333---------|----------444|-555---------|----------666|
  

back to the eight note but now speed up your fretting hand and play two different notes per beat

G|-----6/7-----|-----2/3-----|-----6/7-----|-----2/3-----|
D|----5---6----|----3---4----|----5---6----|----3---4----|
A|--4-------5--|--4-------5--|--4-------5--|--4-------5--|   play 1x  ;-)
E|-3---------4-|-5---------6-|-3---------4-|-5---------6-|
   

now double the notes and speed it up to four tones per beat (Sixteenth note)

G|--------66/77--------|--------22/33--------|
D|------55-----66------|------33-----44------|
A|---44-----------55---|---44-----------55---|   play 2x
E|-33---------------44-|-55---------------66-|
   


Note: a few years ago i've seen this exercise somewhere on the interweb, but i can't remember where or who... i only added the triplet bit to spice things up. So, if you are the maker of this particular "Spider Walk" exercise please let me know and the credits will all be yours.
