There are the basic, (1, 2, 3, 4), guitar fingering exercises that almost everyone's tried, and then there are more structured guitar exercises (hardly anyone does).
In this video, I show the unique "Spider Walk" guitar exercise and I talk about the value in doing it for even just 30 days. This exercise is best practiced in two ways.
The first is a "fixed finger" approach. The second approach involves designing a pattern to follow within a playing position of the neck. Then, modifying that pattern as you play within a two string region.

using this as an every day warmup, how long do you recommend spending on it..10-15 minutes? I typically use something like Blackbird for standard and a song named Little Martha for open E. Those 2 get my fingers and hands going best
My band and I made our first song and music video the other day , tell us what you think :)
Thanks you added a third level to my spider walk. You're missing level 2 though.
Nice vid! =)
Beginner here. Should I be practicing in front of a mirror or go ahead and look down?
I did this 30 days. Guitar store wants to know if I will buy guitar.

Brilliant

I did this for 30 days and lost 17 pounds!
This needs more likes lol
God damn you made me spit my coffee

Beginner guitarist here. Just did this for 20 minutes, took a break, did another 20, break, 20 and now I’m done. I can now do it at 80 BPM comfortable and 100 BPM if I focus more. The challenge is kind of addicting.
extrapolating that you should now be up to at least 10,000 BPM :)
but what is the rhythm ? 100bpm 16th notes is not the same as 100bpm whole notes :P
@@agnidas5816 1024th notes at 100bpm
never played a guitar before just started shredding through the fire and the flames with my bare feet man on a double neck guitar im at 190,000,000 bpm big toe is kinda sore but i can NAIL the toe tapping sections with ease
You just need to do this 5 min a day for a month, not 3 hours a day
I did this 30 days. The spiders have accepted me as one of their own.
It's kinda funny how the spider walk is taught by Dr Octavius..
From one nerd to another that was fricken hilarious, well done
Devon Wynn perfect comment

I tried this for 3 days and have come to the conclusion my guitar is arachnophobic.
That comment made me gigglesnort 😆

Thank you so much! As a 41 year old striving towards my life long dream of being a musician, I will always remember this lesson. And I will share any chance I get. Well done sir.
I’m 77 years old and I agree with Ian. Aging into senior years takes a heavy toll on one’s dexterity. I’ve been at this exercise only one week and it has helped!
@@kamakauketwo5282 please update us on your progress.
Yes how is it coming along, for you?
Funny story, I was taught this 40 years ago I told the teacher it bored me to tears, I just can't do it I'll lose my mind, his band went on to be famous and I delivered beer for 36 years so 😂 STAY FOCUSED MY FRIEND! 😂
How’s going it now?
I am a self-taught guitarist who has been playing for 15+years, I have always struggled with technique I just freestyle mostly but this is the most well-described beginner method I have ever heard. This will help me improve my technique, thank you 🙏
Same here, with some extra years on you. I reached a point where I realized I need some guidance for the next steps. Life happened and I'm back on that track.
What I've really gleaned from practices like these is patience, you gotta keep yourself in check and be real and also beware "training scars". I was fortunate that I adapted a lot of technique relatively correct, some aren't so fortunate when self taught. If that's a realm worth checking, it's 100% the next step, in my experience. I had to relearn a couple things along the way, and I'd make any teacher balk at how I started. It took me a year to learn how to tune a guitar, or rather that one ought to be tuned. At the time I figured you tune it to sound good open, then learn chords. When my chords sounded trash I began asking questions. Tabs were a godsend, I didn't need to learn music to learn songs I liked. Once I started struggling through all the normal basics, I hit my stride pretty quick and started making my own songs. Once I began making those I started pushing myself to make better more complex songs, hit a wall and now here we are. A baby kind of throws a wrench in things.
Aka: “I strum out on G-Chords and D-chords for 15 years”
@@GuitarHandsa lot of people will learn their favorite songs, become satisfied, and then stop improving
@@GuitarHands and I fucking slay those chords.
I was never a guitar technician, never really wanted to be. Strictly rhythm. I play by ear, but this method will help me immensely. Thank you
Been practicing this technique for a week. Now I can walk with my fingers.
Maybe you should take up bass guitar instead, then?
😂😂😂😂😂
Damn you😁

Lol. Same here. I'm going to give it another try though

As a 76 Year Old I have hardly touched my Guitar in more than 16 or so Years. This was due to being Forced into Retirement and Life interfering. Now I've decided to start playing again as I Know that it will be good for my Old Head as well.
This Lesson is very inspiring and being clear, concise, fully explanatory, I believe it is the best way to get back on track again.
Thank you for this, you are very kind and it is much appreciated. Greetings from South Africa. 🇿🇦
I decided at 58 years to teach myself guitar and I was determined but I struggled as I have gout in my thumb joints and arthritis but bugger that . I'm 64 now but tend to be undisciplined through ill health . Every day I'm going to do this . I will be more disciplined. Thanks
OMG! I have been playing for over 35 years and I can shred my butt off but I struggle with learning certain songs and timing. I just tried to do this spider technique. I SUCK AT IT! My "stationary" fingers are flying all over the place heedless of my desire for control. Going to practice this on the regular.
I did this the spider walk exercise for 30 days and I became an incredible spider walk exercise player.
😂
lol
This one is the most accurate 😂
Sounds about right.
I did this exercise for 30 days... girlfriend is having a blast.
Underrated comment
Would that be a finger blast?
@@raksh9 that's what i was going to say haha
Awesome buddy..
I bet
It's very clear to me that this is an essential exercise if you want to play lead. I'm gonna work really hard on not putting the cart before the horse, and take my time.
“Lead” is kind of a job title and you really don’t hear that term much outside of Rock. Any professional guitarist can play rhythm or lead. Outside of the Rock stereotype of 2 guitarists a bassist and a drummer, many bands only have one guitarist anyway. Some groups have 3 or 4. I used to play bass in an 8 piece group that had 3 guitarists (1 drummer, 1 bassist, 2 electric guitars, 1 acoustic guitar, saxophone, piano, and sythn keyboard player). Of course we also had vocalists. Music is a huge world. Don’t limit yourself into specific titles and genres.
I've been playing for years, and thank you very much for reminding me that basic technique cannot be overlooked. Will practice as much as I can. I'm sure it will help tremendously.
I'm the serious comment y'all looking for that actually does this.
I'm in ABRSM classical guitar grade 7 and I can say this exercise is very effective for making your playing cleaner and more legato(reducing gaps between notes). It also provides greater control over each individual finger without affecting surrounding fingers.
Thanks for the insight

Ty sir
I'm self-taught and have been playing for 20 yrs. This exercise showed me how bad I really am. So bad.
nice job bro :D
Day 30: Still trying to find a serious comment that tells the results of doing this for 30 days.
il get back to you in 31 days il start tomorrow
oscar macias bet tell me too

Before watching this video, i did basic spider exercise without metronome and alternate pickig. I will say the results was quite remarkable.
Now going to try this spider walk with metronome
It's a complete waste of time. You'd be far better off at least learning a scale if you are going to do a finger warm up for 30 days.
This exercise helped me a lot after practicing just a little here and there. I always played the note as my fingers did the walking so I knew right away that I was getting the right clearance and tone. Thanks for making this video.
Congratulations. You are the first electric guitar teacher I've seen on UA-cam to use a strap when sitting down. Therefore you are the only electric electric guitar teacher on youtube who has an efficient position for holding the guitar.
Wait, what does that have to do with efficient guitar position?
@@zach6789 He's wearing a strap and he has the neck up at a 45 degree angle.
@@Lutemann Ok, does that help your position when playing guitar?
@@zach6789 no, its more of a comfort thing.

so it's not just me then. pressing my thumb against the neck helps anchor so I can lift that ring finger
So, I'm not alone here.
Good exercise but I stayed for the comments, they're gold
thank you I've been really struggling with reaching other chords instead of cowboy chords and this exercise along with stretches helped an amazing amount I was really surprised at how good this is
I was introduced to this exercise as the “Drill Sergeant “ and I wish I would’ve took it more seriously. This video added a great new way to practice it that breaks up some of its monotone so thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Been doing fixed finger spider since January after watching this video, started at 60bpm painfully hard, now I'm at 100bpm relaxed, I do 5min of it every day as part of warm up. I can go up 140bpm, but 100 gives me more precision. My finger placement, alternative picking and finger movement fluency definitely improved. Thanks and cheers from Russia!
I’m gonna try this at slower bpm then go higher I know I can do faster bpm on the major and minor scale and the mixolodyian
сейчас уже в ритме 200 с 1/32 можешь для разминки делать?
@@darkness3064 ))) мне хватило
You should try eating small mammals, they're good for the hands, you could probably do a couple thousand BPM if you did.
@@stop_tryharding excuse me
I suffer from arachnophobia...even in guitar techniques...
Sokop I actually laughed out loud! Thanks, I really needed that.
Watch 3 spider man movies in a row and the phobia will go :)
😂
Hilarious
Sokop 😂
Andrew, one other element of this exercise is the picking hand, doing alternate picking (up down) and moving between the two strings... important to do this and keep tone consistent... or in triplets at a more advanced level
thank you for the upload,i play for 7 months now and the one thing i struggle the most is picking precision,i got the timing,the ear,some things comes more easy than others but i'm sure this will help me a lot.thanks again it's truly appreciate
After one month I can now play Stairway using my thumb and balls. Thanks!!!
@robert proctor your comment ankle-broke my eyes
You should show off at a guitar store with that song 👍👍
Tried to replicate this but got my balls stuck in the G-string... Tried to tell my wife, but she misunderstood, now I live in an alleyway. Caution with this exercise, things can turn ugly very quickly.
@@williammorris7895 I feel you. I did one stroke in A-minor and now i'm writing this from a contraband phone in prison.
🤣
Started this about a month aho myself. I've done about 10 minutes a day with my own complex variations. I've noticed a significant difference in how well I can play without making unintensional noises or missing the note. 10/10 my favorite exercise.
Thank you for the tip. I've been working on chords since I'm a beginner but working more towards learning solos eventually
This is awesome. Great teacher, has to be one of the best. Really good stuff!
Best online lesson I have ever learned. Thank YOU!!
I'm 97 and just started learning guitar . I can already play the 007 theme tune .
of course...
Yea totally
Be sure to drink flanax after practicing
By 98 you'll play better than Dylan.
Sorry all you Boomers,
I'm a Guthrie Govan fan.
I won't lie, your name and profile led me down a bit of a rabbithole. From a whim I clicked on your profile picture to see if there was any proof of your age. While I found no posted videos, I saw you saved a few videos in categories ranging from guitar playing to food. The way they were labeled didn't sit to well with me, so I did a quick Google search of your name, or at least your profile name. To my surprise I found out that their was actually a few stories with the character Seymour Glass in it. The one that stood out the most to me was of course "A perfect day for a bananafish." Where in this story Seymour Glass suffers from PTSD after serving in WWII. As the time had no diagnosis for PTSD, Seymour couldn't get proper treatment. This eventually led him to commit suicide next to his sleeping wife rather abruptly. Interestingly enough, Seymour was just five years older than what you claimed to be. While I do not know the reason you go under the alias of someone so disturbed, I do appreciate the fascinating story you inadvertently showed me. Have a good day.

So THAT'S what I heard the other night! :O
Practice is invaluable and this is just what I was looking for. Just excelent! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for this - from one teacher to the next - you’re killing it!
This was one of my first exercise when i started learning guitar, very useful, really trains your brain and hand muscle, not an easy exercise for a beginner, but worth every minute of it
The first part of this exercise is actually the first thing I learned on guitar.
I mean....
This exercise is pointless.
You could just practice proper technique like this while practicing scales and improvising...
Lol...
@@yts4577 You should have learned the box 1 of the minor pentatonic.. lol its actually usefull.
@@dislikecounter6392 it was like my first day tho. Plus it helped be build dexterity and strength on my fingers so it was useful for me
@@dislikecounter6392 Isolation exercises like this are used in every sport and physical activity, but you know better.
I was skeptical at first but I’m actually shocked at how well this works after doing it only 15 minutes. My fingers are already finding more efficient movements while doing other exercises. Only 15 minutes in! 🤯
This was a genuinely interesting learning experience. I can’t wait to try this and see what it will do for me!
Day 1 struggling with the first exercise and can’t do the second exercise AT ALL.
Day 2 spider walking messily
Day 4 spider walking with a few mistakes
Day 5 I’m messily picking up the second exercise.
25 to go!
Thank you for sharing your teachings. I really appreciate it. 🙇🏾♂️
how’s it going? :D
@@user-qq3hj6pl8o He gave up
andrew you better go practice your guitar and self care >:(
^ fr andrew come on man 😩
3 weeks and I can cozily do this exercise. Still can’t play a song, but i’m working on finding chords. I learned the major and minor pentatonic, and I work through those arpeggios. Now I want to invent Melodie’s for the poetry I’ve written since I was a kid. Haha thanks for blasting me on this comment.
It takes three weeks of consistent practice to integrate whatever you practice as a secondary autonomic 'muscle memory' thing. The more you practice set pieces the less you actually have to consciously 'think' about them and the more they become like singing. The more of these that you practice the less you consciously have to think about them.
You are clearly not a singer.
No it doesn’t
Three weeks? Pretty sure the thing that matters is the sheer amount of hours actually practicing bc someone can get the muscle memory down in much less than three weeks if they play more per day so saying “three weeks” is not a good way of putting it.
@@painless4785 I knooow!!!!!!!
They become like my singing? My god, my career is over 😭
I did this for 30 days. Now I turn on the news and we’re in the middle of a goddamn pandemic!
lmao
Is it effective?
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!
30 days straight? Woah
"My Guitar!"
~Niel Young
Never heard of this but honestly? This guy is the lick, his first lesson is what every guitarist needs to know and that right there will do two things, make you see if you are serious about playing the guitar and help you stay interested in guitar. I gave up for years because I just couldn't get out of the Intermediate slump, I didn't know how scales worked, how to solo or even what to improve to play barre chords. Now with UA-cam and guys like this I've advanced more in a few weeks than I have in the last decade. Don't give up and rock on guys!
Thanks so much for sharing this exercise man!
This technique is often used by traditional bass players to develop dexterity and find walking patterns over a four finger fret spread. On major chords, always lead with the second finger, so your first finger can go to the major third on the next string. Ingenious to use it for guitar too!
lead with the middle finger...yep, give 'em the finger ...major 3rd right there for the pointy
I just started learning bass and that is a great tip! I was doing an awkward jump between strings to find the third.
Thanks! I was wondering if I could do it on bass. Even when I play guitar, I warm up on bass first and then the guitar strings feel like rubber bands after that!
Instructions were unclear. I accidentally summoned an Eldritch spider God instead.

Great lesson brother. After just one work-out I can tell this lesson will help me lots... and I've been playing 22 years!
Suuuuuuuure
My dad taught me this when I was learning years ago, it really paid off when he started teaching me scales
I will certainly be giving this a try, thanks for uploading!
Just started guitar lessons- this is great !!! Thanks
I’ve done these for 15 minutes each practice session for only a week and I can already sense a difference. Definitely do these!!
Meanwhile you don't know a single scale :O lmao
@@dislikecounter6392 it's okay, with the coordination acquired you can learn anything you want easily.
@@dislikecounter6392 He said that 2 years ago so that's probably false lmfao
@@elosoyayo8968 why is it taking me so fucking long? i’m getting frustrated. literally everything feels like i’m doing it wrong
@@martinholmes6763 for some people is easier but don't worry, if you get used to work hard from the beginning you'll be able to learn difficult things in the future without getting frustrated (maybe you can get frustrated but you can deal with it).
When everything you learn is easy to you, you have more chances to put down the guitar when the exercises get harder.
If you really want to play you should deal with that frustration and play slower, even if you feel that you're not getting better, but as many others say "The slower you play, the faster you learn"
Playing guitar is not as easy as it looks, but you can start playing songs, (easy songs) that you like, you can even search the "backing track" from that song and it feels great to play with it, it's a good motivation. You may probably need months to learn a song but once you're able to play it you'll feel amazing.
I hope that helped and sorry if I didn't say some words correctly, English is not my native language.
I have always been impressed with the amount of knowledge and how well Andrew explains and teaches. His knowledge of theory and all that good stuff boggles my mind.
I practiced this exercise for 30 days and now I play the harmonica!
This is one of the best ones!
Thanks Andrew! Great exercise! I will be recommending it to my students and will plug your video.
OMG, I can't believe how hard that is to do. My third finger is telling me, "Sorry, not going to happen dude."
That how this could help. =-O
Yeah it's harder than it looks.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with that problem xd
UtwoBed same
I thought it was me.
This looks like a phenomenal warm up exercise, something you can work on for 10 minutes every day and then see progress. Thanks man
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.definitely will be trying this out
Very informative and I’m definitely going to try these exercises. Thanks for sharing!
only been playing for a couple months but after doing this everyday for a couple weeks i feel so much more comfortable finding the strings and hitting them. Going to keep it up for 30 straight now!
The spider walk is used in the Call of Ktulu by Metallica
Since Dave Mustaine had songwriting credits for that it makes sense. A lot of these scales reminded me of his playing a lot
I thought of that immediately!
Dave can't play a note~@@dirgus
According to Dave he wrote that part.
Not exactly, it sounds Very similar but it does not appear
Sick man! Works great, I love this exercise!
I have been playing for 7 years and doing pretty well... .I thought these exercises were difficult at first, but very useful..Thank you for posting it...
This works well going up and down the fret board.
It sure does John. The accuracy that it promotes is fantastic. Thanks for watching!
I taught myself so there’s so much I don’t know.. finding techniques like this to practice makes a huge difference for players like me. Great video! Thank you.
Same here been playing 8 years and still learning stuff.
I've been playing for 6 months and I feel like I'm stuck so I'm going to use this
CHAot1C definitely do, if I knew half of what I find on UA-cam now a few years ago I would have a much higher level today. techniques like this early in your playing life will make a immense difference later.
Dude, that is a great lesson. I can see how it can help with chordal playing if you hit the notes, like at @4:00, since you have to clear the other strings.
Awesome! Thank you for this great exercise🤘👍
outstanding as usual...big big thanks
This is an excellent exercise to keep from just repeating the chromatic scale over and over again. Truthfully, the part where you pre-fret all four fingers and then individually move to the next string while keeping your other fingers fretted and not allowing any other movement REALLY helped my accuracy and tightened up my finger movements incredibly...thank you so much. You are a great teacher.
bust out of the rut, i try and do this too now, basically i am diatonic, one scale or tonality (i play in a blues band, can't get to experimental at that gig lol) you could pick random notes, play them in different positions (this trips up many players) you could take a blues lick, in A, then take a three note lick and move one note a semi tone, even if its so bad its unusable, it's an exercise, all ways try and practice why you CAN'T do, have a balanced view of your own playing, what things do you do well, what areas need work etc...
I noticed the improvement from this exercise after a week. It’s so important because actually building muscle memory in fingers (or any other muscles) takes time and actually is maximally effective when a person gets enough sleep. That’s is where the muscle memory consolidates first.
It’s true . I noticed that when I sleep really good the next morning seems effortless of what I learned the day before.
coming back to guitar after many years. I will use this to get back in shape. thanks
Very cool. I haven't focused nearly enough on proper finger dexterity and note accuracy.
@@davidpearson6346 it's called an exercise bro.

It’s awesome when your videos blow up! Half a million in 5 days? You deserve it! Thanks for the knowledge
Great video...I am looking forward to putting this into practice!
I’m goin to practice this!thank you!
Man I really can't believe it. I struggle with some songs still after, well let's just say, many years of playing. I've noticed in my old age that my hands aren't as quick and true as they used to be in some regard. This exercise, which I have committed to for 30-days, has helped my dexterity and precision after only 2-days. What??!!! Whenever I pick up the guitar I run through it. I think it's also a strengthening exercise. I think my relationship with the spider will go on long-term, well beyond the 30-day challenge. Thanks. I'm a long time subscriber but just found this two days ago.
Always looking for something good and useful to add into my practice routines. I love to play, but I need to practise. It took me a while to realise the difference.
Thank you. The spider walk is going to help.
I recently started to play the guitar again. and this is exactly the exercise I was trying to remember. Thanks for the video.🎸👍🏻😎
I remember years ago going over a sight reading book where exercises were presented for reading rhythm on a page. As extra practice the author suggested reading from right to left, and from bottom to top across each bar. I loved that idea because it allowed me to influence my own development. Applied to spider walking across the strings, changing up the order of the fingers from say 1,2,3,4 to 1,3,2,4, or, whatever you can think of, and then working your fingers from 6th string, to 4th string to 2nd string, then 1st string, 3rd string and 5th string, and any number of other variations, is a great way to extend that practice. Personally I also practiced in other time signatures, like (6th string) 1,2,2,3,3,4,4, (5th string 1,2,2,3,3,4,4, (4th string etc). works like a 6/4 time. Or, you might want to try, (6th string) 1,2,3,2,3,4,3,4, (5th string) 1,4,1,2,1,2,3,2,3,4, etc. Great for developing independence.
Will definately be using this in my regimen!
Great to hear that. This Spider Walk study is really a good one to keep in the routine. Thanks for watching! ~ Andrew

Thank You so much for this lesson 👍🏼👏🏼
Never heard about this before. So simple and so powerful! Thank you!
Thanks so much Andrew! Now I understand why your playing is so smooth and so perfect /precise sounding when you're playing. This exercise is crazy good. I'm going to do it for 30 days.
Thanks Bob. Good luck with your Spider Walk workouts!
Any updates?
Loved it. Thankyou! Great upload!
It's very good explanation covering the basic & exuberanting that's there's no magic learning a skill. Thank you sir!
Thanks! My teacher said there were many kinds of spider exercises. I really think yours is just right! Not to easy, not too hard, plenty of room for improving technique.
I’m glad my guitar teacher taught this to me 15 years ago when I was buy a wee lad, and that he said never forget this.
Now he is in heaven and I have absorbed his guitar playing powers fully.

Andrew,
That exercise would certainly build hand strength and finger independence.
Thank you.

Great exercise. It's always remarkable how relatively simple exercises to improve fundamentals of finger control, independence and right-left hand coordination can make a big difference in overall technique.
Great tip - I will definitely incorporate this technique into my practice regimen - cheers!
Brilliant exercise thanks ❤️🤗 it surely needs some time to get used to but it feels good and easy to understand.
