    I have had my two guitars for over ten years and have yet to spend 10 minutes trying to play them. Now that I am 71 and have terminal cancer, going to give it a try before I go. Will start with finger exercise to get them moving. Thank you. And nice intro piece

      Jim, you might try doing the basic drop D progression scale. It's real simple, I too procrastinated for 30 years on NOT playing my guitar as I should have been. I do an exercise everyday now and I've already noticed my fingers are getting quicker and more in control on the fretboard, these exercises shown here are INVALUABLE to say the least, I'm going to add them to my daily roster. ✌💯👍

    @visitur4914 4 роки тому +4

    I'm a beginner, and if I hadn't bothered to start learning the notes, I think I might've found the fingerings for the third exercise a lot more confusing. "start on G and C# and take whole steps until the last string (when you start on D)" is a heck of a lot easier to remember than a whole physical pattern. Plus, when you know the notes, every physical pattern you do just reinforces your knowledge of the notes, which reinforces your ability to play them! It's a never-ending circle. Pretty cool.

    I had to think really hard to move my ring finger on my fret hand for the first time. It was kinda scary at first. I thought something was wrong but that finger is very weak. My other hand has more strength. I practiced for five minutes just on that finger exercise and I already have more control. Thanks for these unique exercises and drills. I can feel that these kinds of drills when practiced over and over and over will make learning and playing the guitar so much easier. I like repetition to build strength and muscle memory. For people just getting started, this can seem boring and monotonous but if you stick to it, it really makes a difference.

    With the first exercise with your hand flat on the table I can move all my fingers really well except my ring finger. When I try to move it either my pinky or my middle finger wants to follow. Any tips on this? I have been holding those 2 fingers down trying to move my middle finger independently. Still struggling to lift my ring finger and it seems to not have the mobility the others have lifting off the table. Am I going at it the right way? Is there a way I can’t attack my ring finger more affectively? I need something I can do at work on lunch or watching tv after practice. Been practicing 15-45 minutes a day depending on my finger tips.
