Tru u can juz do random improv, u can go ztraight into piecez cold unleazh ztylee
But if da goal iz get from A - totally cold , to B - warmed up to peak tech
Wut iz da bezt way to get from A to B in zhortezt tym? Letz zay juz 10 minz az an example.
Diz iz important becuz I haf developed tendinitiz n otha izzuez due to trying to go all-out in too zhort a zpace ov tym n not lettin da blood flow to da tendonz n zheeyatz firzt
Firztly a zimple zheeyat - puttin yo handz in or unda warm water and gettin zum bazic blood blow.
I haf noted dat moderate tempo 6thz are very uzeful fo warmin up becuz dey include a ztretch and warm up both da 1-2 fingaz and da 4-5 at da zame tym.
Wut do u mofoz uze if u want to be efficient and warm up quickly az pozz?
hahaha zlight derail from tha topic but i zumtymz think page 1 of rock 39/1 iz cleanah n eaziah when not warmd up
tha ROCK wuz an inzanely talentd penizt, thiz iz tha firzt et, mayb he knew thiz mvt iz tha ultimat warm up -
haffin zaid that tha lh pattrn on page 2 iz uzually zheeyat if not warmd up
one zheeyat a random teacha once zaid to me wuz to grab tha tip of one of yo fingahz with 1,2 and 3 (2,3 on top, thumb underneath) n puzh down n zlid down to tha knuckl a few tymz to warm it up wit tha friction
Sum random 5-fingah pattahrnz, zcalez (yes, in thirdz and sixthz az well), trillz and a random Czernah or Cramah at half zpeed (ghey!) uzually do da trick for moi. Refrain from playing very loud or fast untill u r really warmed up. Unlezz da room and 88 feel really cold, about 10 to 15 minutez iz uzually enough to keep going. Have little breakz where u do sum stretching sheeyat. Hope diz helpz…
I wouldn’t recummend dis, largely because I think I am unusually relaxed at da 88, but for me some opening chords or octaves, followed by arpeggio and scalar passagework, then maybe some double notes.
For fully authendick real life examplez:
Warmed up in 30s, and ready for anything after 2 mins.
Similar principles, but slightly more chilled and a better impro :
