finger stretching Lesson by BIGKUNTRY This is my first post and I thought it would be helpful to both beginning and experienced guitarists. I would also appreciate any feedback positive or negative. These are a few excersises that I use both when practicing and warming up for a live show. The first one here is a fingerstretching excersise (and yes it is a pain to do) but really works for getting some of those stretched apart chords. 1 is your index finger 2 is your middle 3 is your ring 4 is your pinky e--------9--------8--------8--------8--------8--- B------10-------10--------9--------9--------9---- G----11-------11--------11-------10-------10----- D--12-------12--------12-------12-------11------- A------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------ I do this sliding 1 fret down each finger all the way untill I get to the first fret. After you can do this with all notes sounding clear try skipping two frets. It gets tough down around the 3rd and 4th frets. |
