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. |
