Never ending chromatic scale exercise.

     I think this video is pretty self
explanatory. All you have to do is play a continuous chromatic scale
without ever breaking the flow of semitones, without any restrictions in
terms of fingering or direction on the fretboard. This means you are
free to move up, down, diagonally, shift position on a single string
play diagonally, as long as you move a semitone (= a fret) up or down.
The goal is to have a very even sound no matter what you decide to do.
This will give you a more improvised approach to your study of
technique, much closer to a real playing situation. After you got the
concept and you feel comfortable with the exercise, get the metronome
out, and challenge yourself to play this faster, or longer, without
making mistakes.
