Jethro Exercise

Here's a couple of Jethro Burns exercises from list members Becky Smith and Jim Nikora. Becky said Jethro used this one as a warm up before every performance. It's really gives the entire hand a good workout, start slow and speed up til you crash. Shake it out and go again.

Scale exercise in G using all fingers.

Nikora said "Jethro used to play it at about 300 ticks!"

It's got some logical but cool changes in the first ending.
