Hi! I'm 15 years old and I'm from Turkey. I really appreciate your work especially at Cacophony. I would like to ask for a favor. Now I'm studying the Speed Metal Symphony. I'm really close, all I need is some exercises. Can you send me some of your exercises you used learning the guitar espacially for sweet picking? I will be the happiest person on the faöe of the earth if you do. Thanx for your time. You rule. Bye..

An exercise is any passage that repeats. Just make up any random thing and repeat it and you will develop a technique. But then you must try to make music. That's the hard part.
