This was VERY helpful thanks sir
My first mistake with the spider exercise is not knowing about the spider exercise. And my second mistake is neglecting warm-up exercises in general. Thanks for this practical lesson, Brad!
You’re welcome! I didn’t know about it when I was starting out, but it is handy for working on those fundamental motions.
This is a chromatic scale. Not a spider walk exercise. Look up the real thing.
@@DamnDealDone I looked it up. Some call this the classic spider walk. There are variations of the spider walk. Look it up.
@@dvaunhowe They are wrong. Learn the proper one or fail, dumbarse.
This really helped me a lott❤
your first tip was so helpful 😭 my hands are pretty small so starting low was really straining my hands. once i’m used to it, i’ll definitely try the rest of the fretboard!
I was so confused with the spider walk exercise honestly until this video. Been playing for 1 year and somehow haven’t come across this exercise until a friend mentioned it and was doing it wrong the whole time. Step 3 helped me a lot, thanks
Happy to help!
Thanks man! Finally I can do this without being discouraged! You just made my day!
Glad I could help!
This video is very motivating! I've been playing more off than on for a couple of years, and when i do play, im mostly reinforcing terrible habits (thanks, Rocksmith!). I really connect with your style of instruction, so I'm looking forward to digging into more of your content!
Thank you for posting this helpful video!
You're very welcome!
Some helpful tips, thanks.😊
Best explained I have seen so far....and I have seen a few.
Thank you for your explanation. I just started learning to play guitar and I find your demonstration is so helpful.
You're very welcome!
So glad I found this video. I was holding my fingers down instead of lifting them individually. I've been doing it that way for months and still playing sloppy. I just started doing it one minute at a time and it's cleaner and it feels like I'm actually doing something now. thanks!
Woot! Congratulations on that progress! Keep it up!
Same. I thought I had to do it to make my fingers more flexible
Thanks for a great video on how to improve more quickly.... from Australia Brad.
You’re welcome!
Thanks man, l'm a lefty trying to play right handed, off to a slow start, but you help me so much.
regarding the 2nd problem , using metronome can be beneficial AND being number 6th mistake as well imo :) set it to 60bpm (or even lower from the start) so you have clear time signature of playing note every second. And the picking hand .. oh gosh this is excelent you pointed it out. in higher tempos you magically reveal how bad your picking hand is if you don't pay attention to it :D great video tho! greets from Slovakia :P
Thank you! As far as metronome speed, don't be afraid to start as low as 40bpm! Get it smooth first!
Great explanation - thanks a lot !
You are welcome!
im a beginer from the u.k,and this has helped me so much to train the fingers..great vidio..
Beginning lower on the neck is actually a really good one. Just playing for a month so I can still change bad habits. Thanks for making the video.
Brad, great video. I hope all is well with you and your family. You got my 'Like'. David (VidSummit last year) 🙂
Always good to hear from you David! Hope you’re doing well!
Thank you! Highly appreciated
You're welcome!
Thank you for the knowledge 🙏
My pleasure!
Thanks for the very informative lesson
My pleasure!
A BIG THANKS, BRO!
You're welcome!
Thanks from Alabama! Just got my first guitar this Christmas as a retirement gift. Looking forward to driving myself crazy
Rock on! I have a new FREE course coming out soon that'll really get you going!
my first guitar teacher I went to in the late 90s had some other things I had to do, for example leave the fingers - only moving one, and generally as less movement as possible. also as always do it as slow as needed and do it clean and after it's clean get faster.
That’s all awesome advice! Thanks for sharing!
Using a metronome with this is helpful too.
I love that idea!
I don't even play the guitar but this is masterful instruction! These principles are applicable to many other instruments and situations. Bravo!
Thank you!
oh, good. i originally started at 1st fret and then went down 2 the 5th for this. and just intuitively did the reverse direction thing. i think i'm intermittent on fingers all down vs lifting up.
omg this is like the most important vid for beginners! thank you so much - everybody tells you to do that stupid exercise and shows it how you do it after one year of playing :D after breaking all my fingers for the last week it´s really kinda fun now :D
THANK YOU FOR THE VERY VERY GOOD INSTRUCTIONDS,
wow amazing video man !!!!!!!
Thank you!
Good tips the others forgot to mention! Helped a lot especially starting at the ninth fret.... the other tips are recognizable from studying the piano ! Good help! Thanks!! Subscribed!
Thank you so much for your methods and exercises Simplifies things with your easy followed explanations Tony D from Liverpool UK
You're very welcome! I LOVE Liverpool! My wife and I have visited before!
Thank you😊
Thank you.
This is very good advice especially about not starting at the first frets. I started way too strong on the first strings and doing scales patterns on the bigger frets and I currently have pain. It’s been a week of this pain. Not sure if its tendonitis or not. Really like your videos!
Thank you! Glad you're digging this!
Brother!!!! Thank you for this.
You are so welcome
Very good!
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm almost 40 years old and just recently picked up the guitar. Thank you for the tips!
You're welcome!
You agree with me yes 👍 🙌 👏🏻.

@@SimpleGuitarDotCom 🎸 rock on 🤘.
Thanks a million for this helpful lesson....I am from BARBADOS
You are very welcome!
You know what's most cool about this vid? That seatbelt guitar strap! That is dang COOL!!!! Did you make it or did you buy it?
I bought it back in high school. Unfortunately Levy’s doesn’t make it with the buckle anymore.
Nice one👍❤️
Thanks ✌️
(From Milwaukee WI) I seemed to have developed a bad habit of anchoring my pick hand with my pinky finger on the pick guard. This exercise is helping me break that habit. I'm working on what Norman Blake called a "finger flicking" motion. Thanks!
oh... is anchoring bad? I was doing it for my first guitar lesson today and my instructor said that is one good way to keep your hand close to the strings.
@@shockafter7 Seemed to me it was, glad to hear that it really isn't. I thought it might be slowing me down.
Anchoring your pick hand with your pinky is no bueno. Glad you broke that habit!
I think you might be thinking of anchoring the fretting hand fingers. Generally that’s not good, but it will depend on context of what you’re playing. I recommend doing this exercise both with fingers anchored and not anchored (one at a time)
I think that most of youtubers show the spider walk wrong, leaving the fingers on the board... I think I started like this, and now that I'm doing it the right way, it has become a great 5-10 minutes warm up everyday.
(Also, I'm from France !)
Awesome! I'm so glad this is helping you! Merci!
I mean if most of them are doing it that way isn't it more likely they are correct and the one person doing it this way is incorrect?
Thanks.
Well that's five mistakes I hope not to make from now on, great teaching, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! You're so welcome!
Thank you💞
You’re welcome 😊
Hello and THANK YOU! I'm just starting to learn to play the guitar at 65 yo after retiring from being a special education teacher!
Awesome! Thanks for your service as a teacher!
thank you so much
You're welcome!
I started off playing with playing the spider exercise starting on the first fret. I started at 60 bpms and I've been doing it for almost a year. I keep my fingers down and move one at a time every movement. I am up to 195 bpms, but now I am having trouble with my middle and ring fingers getting too close when I get to the b and e strings. Also, the higher I go, i end up muting notes. It's so frustrating! Has anyone ever dealt with that?
I wish I would've took heed to this video when I first saw it. I learned the spider exercise from a guitarist in the US Navy band, and it's a little harder, but i've seen great progress.
Great Video!
About the third mistake you mentioned, I actually saw a spider walk exercise that you should keep the fingers on the fretboard until the four fingers is of the fretboard and then you go down to the fifth fret and put each finger at a time while the other fingers stay in place until their turn to play.
What is the difference between those 2 exercises?
Thank you!
That is a step up from this! In another video I go through the progression of moving from this to the other variations
04:50 That's not necessarily a "mistake" you're describing here!
On the contrary. Especially for beginners, it's mandatory to add one finger after the other, until all 4 (or 3) fingers are fretting the string.
Not only does this help building up strength and stamina. It makes descending lines, which are always more challenging than ascending ones, much easier to play further down the road - without any daylight between the notes and more fluently: All you have to do then is simply lift the finger(s) you don't need, and the next one you need is already(!) resting on the string... not unlike doin' a pull-off.
Otherwise, it's a nice vid!
Thank you
You are the best
This video makes the exercise so simple
A nice video and very good advice there, thank you. Some guitar teachers say you should only move the finger that you are playing the next note with and keep the others immobile. That makes the exercise a LOT MORE difficult, especially on the way up. Do you think there are advantages of that approach?
Thanks again,
Zs
Practice it regularly and you will know.
Yes there are advantages to that approach. However, a lot of people really struggle with doing that cleanly at first. You can start with what I go over in this video, then add levels of difficulty later once you feel more control of your fingers.
Just checking in but did this approach by any chance work? Im just starting out with spider walk and came upon this video so i'm not sure if I should use this persons approach in the comment or the videos approach.
It helps
Another good reason for taking the fingers off, is when you come back up i.e 7/6/5 you'll only get one note. Lol. Great lesson bro.
Dude, so practical. I keep forgetting to simplify as I figure out this device of torture.
I’m so glad this helped you! Keep at it!
..a lot of tutors I've come across recommend keeping the fingers down (which requires a lot more concentration) .. So at what point do we explore those lower frets - in your opinion?!
Leaving your fingers down will result in sloppier playing down the road. I think you should explore the lower frets right away. I didn’t say in this video to avoid the lower frets completely, just that starting down there is the hardest way to start. I have beginners playing on the lower frets right away. But for this exercise you’ll have an easier time starting high and then going low.
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom bad advice. Your chromatic scale is not an exercise. You are teaching people incorrect things. Real spider walk improves pretty much every single aspect of playing. Coordination, strength, and concentration being the biggest benefits. The real exercise improves clarity and precision. It doesn't make you sloppy in the slightest. Try it.
What is the best practice for slow speed? What is slow speed judgment based on?
When it is ok to increase tempo?
I’d start as slowly as you need to to get it smooth and increase speed as you feel comfortable, but don’t increase too fast at a time. The biggest thing to focus on is playing smooth rather than playing fast.
How long should I practice this per day? I'm sure the longer the better but I'm an intermediate/beginner player and want to practice other stuff too.
Honestly I'd spend no more than 5 minutes doing this. You want the bulk of what you do to be actually musical & not a boring exercise like this. But if you use the tips in this video, it'll make that few minutes of warming up as impactful as possible so that you can have more fun with the musical stuff you do play. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the great tips! I notice that when I use 4 fingers, when I get to my pinky I have to move my hand to the right. Is that ok? Is my hand just too small?
That's totally fine starting out and even if you have to continue doing that. You may find as you develop some finger independence through using it more that you'll no longer need to move your hand as much. Just give it time!
🙂ty..@@SimpleGuitarDotCom
Wow, this was such a good video. As a 74 year old beginner (from Southern California) I am really struggling just learning the exercises. Great tip starting the Spider Walk up on the fret board. My fingers don't cooperate, especially my third finger which seems to have a mind of its own. I sense that the third finger is a problem for most beginning guitarists. Any tips or exercises that focus on getting the third finger under control? I also notice that you never look down at the guitar. My question is, as a beginner, where should I be placing my eyes....frets? or picks? I haven't developed the coordination that it takes to sense where my picking hand should be, will that come with practice? I find I have my fret finger on a different string than what I am picking sometimes.
I recommend you start doing this finger exercise daily & see how you are feeling with that third finger after a week: ua-cam.com/video/Z4KIFklnfRI/v-deo.html That finger is actually much more difficult for people because iti shares a tendon with the pinky, but you can train it enough to get it under control and independent.
As far as your eyes go, split your time between which hand you look at. Most people ONLY look at their fretting hand, but you should also watch your picking hand. As you go you'll develop a feel for where your hands are and not have to watch as much. It comes with repetition.
Watching from near Robin Hood area in the UK
That's awesome! Glad to have you!
Maybe I’m confused with the spider walk exercise in general. Ive been doing the spider walk, but with fixed fingers. Meaning when I move one finger, all other fingers are fixed on the fretboard. It’s extremely difficult, especially as i get further across the fretboard. It really forces you to focus on a single finger.
You are doing it correctly. Only move one finger at a time so as to achieve finger independence. The guy in this video above is doing it incorrectly.
@@mojoefelix ok, thank you so much. The way it’s shown in this video is way easier. While it is much harder, I feel like I get a lot more coordination with the way I’ve been doing it
@@joesteel3459I’ve been doing it the same as you and my playing has improved a lot. This guy in the video is doing the spider walk wrong
You're doing it right. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
This is what I commented: "Tip 3 is just wrong. You're supposed to keep your fingers down and when you move up/down a string with the index you keep 2, 3, and 4 on the last string. This trains each individual finger to move independently. I know this is true because if you can do it the correct way then you can do it the way you described easily. If it's vice versa then you're fingers are going to be tempted to move along with the leading finger because the connections are weaker."
What happens if a song is short like 20th century trip is @ and @ and also warm fuzzy feeling is @ does it still count as a chapter book 📖 song 🎵 🎧 🎶 or not what’s your honest opinion about that? What grant nicholas from feeder said he said that’s more of a outro song than a full song but what’s your honest opinion about this?
I"m not familiar with either of those songs so I can't speak to them specifically. Usually more story driven songs, though, are part of a larger concept album & what role they fill within the story will depend on the overall narrative.. Kind of like Green Day's American Idiot album.
Question. I picked up the guitar last week. Should and started this today. Should I worry about tone yet? I can move my fingers and pluck but sometimes I just get those dead string thumps. Should I just keep on going and ignore them for now?
I would only do a finger exercise like this for a couple minutes a day. Don't worry about tone yet. The dead string thumps are probably coming from your fretting hand and picking hand not being synchronized yet. That will come as you build up finger strength and get used to playing. The #1 most important thing to work on for you now is playing actual music. Start here: ua-cam.com/video/GWuAyG191MQ/v-deo.html There is nothing better than starting with being able to play actual music. You're going to learn everything you need to as you're playing songs. Exercises like this will help you, but I would not focus on them much now. Focus on having fun first.
HI Do you think i should worry about muting the string im not playng with the tip of my index finger while doing this exercise? I alredy use the palm for most of them but the i cant really mute the one rigth above this way.
When you are new to the exercise, maybe not but you _should_ be aiming towards having each note ring out unimpeded & clear.
@@pup1008 ty
@pup1008 nailed it. The purpose of this exercise is building your finger control and independence so that’s just another layer that you don’t need to add. We can do some other exercises for muting strings as you play.
i started with my left hand only as beginner now 5th day i can do it the right way since 2th or 3th day🎉
I've actually learned it the way where you leave the fingers on the string EVEN WHILE MOVING DOWN. So the 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger are still on the 6th string when the 1st finger moves down to 5th and so on. That makes spider-walking down so much harder, because if you are sloppy, the resting fingers will mute the string you are playing. I wonder if there is any benefit in that. Other than giving me a real headache anytime I do it.
That's the proper way. A real exercise that is difficult to do but rewards with better playing. What this guy is doing is nothing.
@@DamnDealDone Hey man, I just started out and made it work the way Magelord does it, but man my wrist and fingers are hurting. Is that normal though?
@@El_Deen warm up hands, then stretch first. But some pain and fatigue is normal. Tips of the fingers will be painful too. You gotta rest and heal when it happens, and that's when muscle memory is formed. Improvement usually happens in those rests. But this exercise needs doing regularly. It's worth it.
Yes there absolutely is benefit in doing that. What I cover in this video is a much easier way to start building up your finger control and then move on to doing it the harder way. There's nothing wrong with starting with an easier version like this, wrapping your brain and fingers around it, and then adding layers of difficulty.
What do you think about skipping strings? Not sure how to notate it in a comment, but you go Low E - 1,2,3,4 (or 5,6,7,8 or whatever position on the neck you want to start at), then you go to D - 1,2,3,4; then you go back to the A string - 1,2,3,4; then up to the G string - 1,2,3,4; then back down to the D string - 1,2,3,4 until you go through all the strings and back down? It's helped me learn how to skip strings when picking.
I think that's fabulous. Keep doing it!
Excellent exercise to do to really hone in your lead playing skill. Also do it starting at the high note and work to the low on the E then shoot down to the a and start from the high and go to the low again and so forth and so on.
Then try starting on the low E and climbing up four notes, but when you get to the A string, play from the high note to the low note, on the D you go from low to high, G high to low, B low to high, and high E, high to low then reverse it going back up to high on the E high to low on the B and so forth.
Hello sir. You didn't tell us anything about where our thumb should be on the back of the neck of the guitar ?

Great tips regards Lyell from new zealand
EVERYTIME! Not sometimes...but EVERYTIME! I have seen this exercise done you MUST KEEP YOUR OTHER FINGERS PRESSED ON THE STRING WHILE MOVING TO ANOTHER....ONE FINGER AT A TIME! Whether you are ascending or descending, I have always been told this. So can anyone help clarify is this nessesary? I use it to gain control over my pinky finger flailing on fast runs. And it is helping, but when I ascend the fleshy part of my fingers mute the next string because I am holding them down on the previous string, as I was instructed to do so. Is there a benefit to this? And please only reply if you've been playing for 10+ years or so please and thanks.
tell me, how do you avoid hitting wrong string during strumming? often ill go from bass e to d string, etc
That is a great question! How about I make a video about that for this next week?
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom i asked this maybe 48 hours ago - i think i've solved it! so, what i did, bass e played 4 frets, down, down, down , down (but on last fret, hit the bass e underneath with plectrum - so u know where plectrum is, then go to a. by resting it on bass e, u know where it is..
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom i hope i made sense - feel free to use my methodology if you so wish - it's v effective when you are tired. if you think it sucks - it's ok lol
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom finally, yes. make a video - maybe my technique not for everybody and im only intermediate (end)
So are they the same or different from each other to compare to a chapter book 📖 because my parents Suzanne and Curtis said that it’s the same but iamlxgend said that they are totally 💯 different from each other but I wanna hear 👂 your honest opinion about this Simple Guitar 🎸?
I think I addressed this in another comment already
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom 🎸 but did you get it simple Guitar they are actually similar but different from each other that’s why I’m doing it on this comment.

Music 🎼 🎶 🎵 question 🙋♂️ why every song has to start from beginning to end aka start to finish is it because of song structure aka the arrangement or is it because of the story that’s in the song structure aka lyrics?
Both. It's whatever the artist/songwriter decides. Most people want a song that's long enough to satisfy what they want to say, but not too long that the listener loses interest. Song structure, lyrics, story, etc. all fall subject to what the songwriter wants to express & the choices they make to do so.
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom I agree with you on that simple guitar 🎸 it’s actually both same and different huh 🤔 that’s interesting.

So, glad I found this, but dreading having to go back to the other one. Thanks a lot Brad, great lesson, subscribed!
I'm so glad this helped you out!
This is how I do it. It’s very difficult, especially when you work across the fretboard toward the small e. Defending seems easier for me, but fixed fingers is pretty tough

For mistake number 3, why do people hold it down? My guitar instructor today, and Justin Guitar said to hold it down... unless that exercise they want me to do isn't the spider walk, and more for stretching?
You can hold it down, it’s one variation, but you’ll get better finger independence and control also practicing one finger at a time.
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom thanks! I end up doing both now. :)
How to play scales?
And also is a chapter book 📖 aka story book 📖 like Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone or chamber of secrets and a studio album 💿 story that’s in the lyrics the same or different from each other because people can say that they are either the same or different from each other in my family they are definitely the same but iamlxgend he said that they are totally 💯 different from each other what’s your honest opinion about this?
You aren't going to get the amount of detail in even a whole studio album as you'll get in a book. A studio album is usually 30-60 minutes of music, not completely packed with lyrics. So there is story that can be expressed through that and there's a lot that will be expressed through the music itself. But Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is 8+ hours of audio consisting entirely of dialogue & descriptions & narration. There's way more information in a book than an album, but that doesn't mean that an album isn't going to have the same impact as a book because it definitely can.
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom so are they the same or different from each other in your honest opinion simple guitar?
When songs are long or short why songs have to start from beginning to end?
I'm pretty sure we discussed this in other comments.
Both songs and a chapter book both tell a story but in a total 🟰 different way.
Yep
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom you definitely agree with me yay 😁 I learned it from jonny studios. He did told me that and I was like woah that’s cool 😎. I never knew that my hero by foo fighters can tell a story.
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom true.
So wait a chapter book 📖 aka a storybook are different from each other or same because my parents said that they are totally 💯 the same but for iamlxgend he is a youtubber and he love ❤️ music 🎶 🎼 🎵 so much like I do he said that’s very different totally 💯 different from each other so what’s your honest opinion and guess on is it same or different from each other?
Like is a storybook and a chapter book different from each other? Not my area of expertise but I would think they can be the same. I read a lot of non fiction books that are chapter books and not storybooks. But Harry Potter would be both.
Because a studio album 💿 you’re listening with your ears but while a chapter book 📖 is with your eye 👁 and you are reading and now there is audio biography too.
Yep, both can create images in your head
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom true.
Great vid. That upside down camera is off putting though.
Thank you! I am actually looking into a ceiling mounted camera that will look down over my shoulder so I don't have to do that anymore.
@@SimpleGuitarDotCom The upside down camera is my favorite part, because I've always wondered why there aren't tutorials for guitarists from the POV of the person playing. I can look at people play all day but then I have to reverse the image in my head, and I'm looking at my frets and fingers while watching someone play, I'm looking at the back of their hand
@@gabbygator1637 I recently found a new way to get this perspective, but I’ve got to do some rigging things up in my studio to make it work. I think you’ll dig it!
Does anyone else's ring finger curve into their middle finger? This is making it so hard I don't know if I can proceed.
That is not a problem that I deal with, but rather than focussing on getting for finger straight, use kind of the corner of your finger tip to press down. I imagine that there's got to be a way to keep on going and to work with what you've got. I'd hate for you to call it quits. Keep trying!
Maine
First time i see someone give advice to use one finger at a time, and asking to not leave the fingers down.
Ikr This guy is trolling 😂🤣🤣
That is just a chromatic scale. I have never seen a spider walk exercise that is anything close to what you are doing.
Yes. Nothing about this resembles a spider. It's wrong.
Why son why songs have to start from beginning to end?
This is self-evident. If a song exists, it has a beginning & an end. How it begins & when & how it ends is determined by the songwriter.
Thank you for your kindness, very well explained. After 30yrs of attempting to play and giving up, I made up my mind I wanted to worship my Lord and savior Jesus Christ thru guitar playing . You are the first one that has actually gave me hope I can do it. I'll be praying you seek the Lord hard while He may still be found, and if you already have a relationship with Him , draw closer, He will not disappoint. God bless you sir for helping and inspiring me.
First Rule of Spider Walk,..Never Talk about
Spider Walk.
