|--1-(1)---------------------------------------------------------|
|------------3-(2)-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------5--(3)-----------------------------|
|--------------------------------------7-(4)---------------------|

the nos in the brackets mean which finger to use
1- index
2-middle
3- ring
4- pinky

you might not be able to get it in one shot its pretty impossible to get hold of 7 frets but try it maybe let go of ur index finger and stretch to the 7 th fret while the middle, ring and pinky finger on the fret board

dunno how much i could explain myself but try it out....this is by JOE SATRIANI ORIGINALLY!!

Let's start off with a simple one
E|---1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------1-2-3-4---------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------1-2-3-4----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------1-2-3-4------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------1-2-3-4--------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------1-2-3-4---| You can go down the whole fret board uptil the 12th fret, this exercise.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention, IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE THAT YOU USE THE LITTLE FINGER WHILE DOING THESE EXERCISES. They serve as a good finger loosening exercises as well as for developing fourth finger independence, speed and strength.
E|----4-3-2-1-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------4-3-2-1----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------4-3-2-1------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------4-3-2-1--------------------|
A|------------------------------------------4-3-2-1-----------|
E|----------------------------------------------------4-3-2-1--| You can go down the fret board uptil the 12th fret, this exercise.

Now for something a bit different
E|----1-2-3-4---------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------4-3-2-1------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------1-2-3-4---------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------4-3-2-1-----------------------|
A|------------------------------------------1-2-3-4-------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------4-3-2-1--|

And back again
E|-------------------------------------------------------4-3-2-1|
B|---------------------------------------------1-2-3-4----------|
G|-----------------------------------4-3-2-1--------------------|
D|------------------------1-2-3-4-------------------------------|
A|--------------4-3-2-1-----------------------------------------|
E|-----1-2-3-4---------------------------------------------------|

After that

E|-----------------------------------------------------1-3-2-4|
B|-------------------------------------------1-3-2-4----------|
G|---------------------------------1-3-2-4--------------------|
D|-----------------------1-3-2-4------------------------------|
A|-------------1-3-2-4----------------------------------------|
E|----1-3-2-4--------------------------------------------------|

You can do the above exercise with a single string and go down the fret board like this.
E|---1-3-2-4--2-4-3-5--3-5-4-6 etc-------------------------|

Hope you liked these exercises. Will post some more soon. When practicing these exercises, remember some stuff. Start slow, build up speed afterwards. If you develop a cramp in your little finger, STOP, let it get some rest before starting again. Go to one exercise only after attaining perfection in the former. That's all, any queries, please post

that is such a nice exercise---THANX A MILLION!!!!!!

Try this one on for size. Three notes per string, if you get it down perfect you can blitz your way through this one. Same things, use alternate picking, use a metronome, start slow, finish fast. PLAY CLEAN and remember to pick cleanly, if not, go back, slow down and start all over again. DO NOT USE DISTORTION until you get it down perfect, you might miss some notes and not take notice at all. It gives the fingers a good workout. Have fun. I'll try to upload a recording slow if possible.
