These are some pretty simple warm ups that i use when i pick up the guitar and just
feel like playin sumthin, they dont sound half bad either.  Try to pick up your
speed and see how fast you can run through these riffs while maintaining a high
quality sound. Version "a" is mainly picking fast, "b" is both picking and
pulling/hammering quickly.

as you probly noticed, most of these are repeated paterns in different orders. You
could use the same basic patern to play your own warm up runs.  have fun with these
warmups... if i think of any more good ones, ill update later.
