Picking Development Exercises for Beginning Guitar

This is some of the basic picking exercises that I start all my guitar students out with.  The goal is to warm up with this daily until picking with control and precision becomes automatic.  Use a metronome, and really focus on developing precise control in conjunction with the click.  When you are picking eighth notes, feel the difference in the emphasis on and off the beat and associate that with the upstroke (and the lifting of the foot as you tap!)
