I probaly need a video to adequately explain this thought.
The one pattern up the neck for me is a picking exercise for the most part as it is much easier on the brain and the left hand. But the one form sliding up the neck doesn't help fretboard knowledge or the ear, imo. Still, I will do it as a picking and speed exercise.

I like to do the exercise in minor 3rds the best as that keeps me on my toes. I really don't like the half steps.
I'm thinking of the pattern as a theme or motif, and coming up with variations of that theme. Trying to use the idiosyncrasies of the guitar, sliding, bending, hammer ons, pull offs. The different fingerings will yeild different articulations, one reason to practice a big variety of fingerings for these exercises.

I think this is a great example of what can be done using these patterns or in this case on of these patterns as a launching point. And, these patterns are usable and musical.
As and aside, is that a Guitar synth? If so it is tracking incredible well, even the glissandos!!

Midi guitar and different synths are the most fun, with endless possibilities, but harder to control. Whatever the patch or software, a balanced output and a precise pick helps, though.

58 & 59, I think just 100 bpm, but that is all the patience I have for these.

58/59 always made me think of npr's all things considered...

Trying to catch up, just one session for each pattern for the time being.

63 & 64, ran this up and down and across the neck with no preconceived plan, so got tangled up a bit, better for each once I got rolling. My best keys are C A G E D, how about that. So, I did this in Eb to make it harder on myself.
