Wacky (Mr. T, may I call you Wacky? ), I did that for the first several months I was playing and it helped build up my strength since I was a newbie. I still like to practice on my acoustic, but now I don't find it necessary to do as a specific exercise but go back and forth depending on what I am playing and where I want to play. It is no longer so hard to go back and forth, as long as I keep doing it!
