This video demonstrates a warm up using Major 7th chords in a broken arpeggio and Altered Scales in each key. 

Warming up each day with something easy and slow using a metronome can help you get into a creative zone. 

Try to play something you know fairly well and can hear well and at a tempo that allows you to play the material fairly accurately. 

Working on structure, that is, basics like 7th chords and scales, will always benefit your musicianship and ears.

~Enjoy!
