I find these are good for working out the phalanges...

________|--|--| |--|--|
G----|----5-------------------|
D--2-|-------6------5--6--8--| Repeat
A--4-|-----------8------------|
E-----|------------------------|

________|--|--|--| |--|--|--|
G----|----5-------------------------|
D--4-|-------6------------5--6--8--| Repeat
A--4-|-----------8-----8------------|
E-----|--------------8---------------|

And, for all you 5 string players

Minor___|---|---| |---|---| |---|---| |---|---|
G----|------------------------17--------------------|
D--6-|-----------------13-17----17--13------------| Repeat
A--8-|--------------15------------------15---------|
E-----|----------15--------------------------15-----|
B-----|--13--16--------------------------------16--|

Major
G----|------------------------17------------------|
D--6-|----------------14-17----17-14------------| Repeat
A--8-|-------------15------------------15--------|
E-----|----------15------------------------15-----|
B-----|--13--17-------------------------------17-|

Augmented... I think (too tired to think theory) Sounds cool anyway
G----|----------------------13-17-13----------------|
D--6-|------------------14-------------14------------| Repeat
A--8-|---------11--15---------------------15--11----|
E-----|-----12------------------------------------12--|
B-----|--13--------------------------------------------|
Or if you have a 6 stringer, do this one like this...
C----|--------------------------12---------------------|
G----|----------------------13-----13-----------------|
D--6-|------------------14-------------14-------------| Repeat
A--8-|---------11--15---------------------15--11----|
E-----|-----12-------------------------------------12--|
B-----|--13---------------------------------------------|


And this...
________|--|--|--| |--|--|--| |--|--|--|
G----|----------------5--7-10--7--5---------------|
D--6-|-------------7-------------------7------------| Repeat
A--4-|----3--5--8------------------------8--5-----|
E-----|----------------------------------------------|

That'll do for now
