"Alright, some more major exercises. In this exercise, I'm going to be going regular steps. Up one-two-three and then come back to two-three-four. And, then come back to four-five-six. Kind of like that. Just to demonstrate real fast, start on the C. I'm going to go C-D-E and D-E-F. And, E-F-G, F-G-A, G-A-B, A-B-C. And, then we'll do that all the way up two octaves.

Metronome, please. Sixteenth notes again. One and two and ready, go. Alright. A little twist at the end there for you. And, that's another little major exercise that I like to use just to get warmed up."
