It's important to think fast.
The earlier you press the stop button, the better.  ::)
If it doesn't work - try something different!

Playing chromatic scales may be funny for one or two days, but it will not improve the playing of real music.

Thanks for your reply. I know, its not very effective. But its not only those chromatic exercise, if you watched until 4:03 he also plays some arpeggios. And i am quit good at that, but i cant see/hear where he changes the direction of hands when he goes counter motion from ascending or descending motion. And i also need to know the fingering. The same story is with chromatic. I can play them, but i need to know when he goes from ascending/descending over to counter motion.

PS: i dont really need them to prepare for some special pieces, i need it to improve my technique in general. And this kind of stuff are also cool in improvisations .

Okay, I understand. But then I don't understand, how it matters, at which point he turns direction, which chords he plays etc. That's part of the improvisation.
