Although different, the finger exercises look pretty good for a guitar... anyone tried them? Joe http://www.wildplanettours.com/ Great warm up exercise.

I wasn't sure if it was still available and/or being hosted elsewhere. Thanks! I was wondering what happened to this first part of the interview?

It's more like a workout to me, but it's good for ya! Since I use my third finger quite a bit starting around the G-string 'E,' I wanted to adapt the exercise dubbed "Max's Magic or Ring's Thing" to use all four fingers. In the interview, Max talks about using the exercise in the upper octave too, but I thought it might be expandable both above and bellow the octave break. Anyway, I wish I could notate this for anyone interested, but I'll just give you the fingerings, and know that everything is chromatic and moves just like in the warm-up packet. Here goes: 123432 1324 3243. I slur them in those groups of 6-4-4. Be wary, it's in 7/8 time, (playing 16th notes) but it flows easily enough, even with a metronome ticking away. I start with 1 on D then move up from there. I'm going to try it on different strings, too. Hehe, I hope there are other bassists as geeky (in a good way) as me out there!!!
