WMT – Play Up! #1 – Skipping Thirds Exercise (with Backing Track)

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the channel so far, and if you haven’t already, make sure you hit the subscribe button and the notification bell to find out when I put new videos online.

I’ve had a couple of suggestions already in private messages, so in response i’ve got an excerise that i’ll be doing on guitar today.


I’ll be skipping thirds on a major scale. So, starting on C, the first, i’ll jump up to E, the third, then back to D, skipping upto F, back to E skipping upto G and so on. Make sure you go through the exercise thoroughly ascending and descending until you know it well.

Once you’ve got the exercise down and are familiar with it, try using this as a basis for improvisation with the backing track!
