If you’ve already mastered your current training routine, it’s time to break out of the rut and push yourself out of your comfort zone – you won’t get any better without a variety of different exercises.

One DVD I constantly use till this day is Frank Gambale’s Chop Builder. It’s like a workout/training video that gets you practicing a moutain of licks and scales over and over. Each lick is played an average of 7 times then it switches to the next one.

The DVD is a “play-along” format, and the feeling you get is like working out along to an aerobics video, difference is you’re doing it with a guitar instead. It runs through quite a few customized licks and all the scales like the Major, Minors, Dorians etc..

I find it really good in my practice routines ’cause focuses plenty on repition and building stamina. The whole workout session runs for about 1 hour and by the end of it, you’ll definitely feel fatigued in your picking hand. I definitely feel the “strength” in my picking when I do this workout 3 times a week.

For you absolute beginners, you might want to skip this guitar DVD as it’s a bit too advanced. I think Amazon.com still stocks this title, it’s a bit old but there’s nothing else like it on the market.
