Hey guys,
I am wondering if I am starting out right foot. I also would like to know when do I switch things up.
I start with scalpel picking on each string, picking excersizes with the pentatonic scale Ami, chromatic up and down the neck on each string. Then I try do do trills and a few spider exceriezes. F.Y.I. I do not know how to play any songs atm just want to get this stuff down cold first. Is that the wrong approach? Thanks everyone for your time!

before one can pick across strings...one should master picking on one string...how well can you play A minor pentatonic up and then down on only one string?

stuff like this is what I am talking about

e|-0-3-5-3----0-5-8-5-----0-8-10-8----0-10-12-10------------
b|
g|
d|
a|
e|

e|-000--535----000--858-----000-----10-8-10----000----12-10-12-----------
b|
g|
d|
a|
e|

it doesnt really seem to matter all that much in the long run which picking patterns you focus on...(like for warming up and whatnot) so long as you keep picking stuff
