We’re learning the A Minor pentatonic scale from your UA-cam video. You’re a great teacher! 🎸
Thanks for your tip , I'm a beginner and I'm working on scales and some chords but I was having trouble with the spider walk this I can do better.
Box sings. You teach us things. :0
I can move my third finger without moving any fingers.
I want beginning guitar and please teach
I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I've been a professional guitarist for 24 years. I just did this exercise and it made me feel like I've never picked up the instrument in my life. Thank you!! I will be doing this daily from now on.
Same! I had been playing for maybe 10 years and I felt like I had never played before.
How’s the results ? i’m intrigued how much you’ve improved by this haha
Actually, smartie. I've been doing this everyday and I feel like it's contributing to some increased cordination, and control in my playing. Whatever works for a person. Have a nice life.
@@HansOellerich smartie ? not sure what you mean by that but i’m glad to hear man , I’ve also started trying this exercise everyday. so 🤷🏽♂️ we’ll see how that goes for me.
Good job
I’ve been playing guitar for 97 years and this exercise really aggravates my wife so I’m going to do it every day.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This channel should be bigger.
No self-promotion. No filler. No rambling stories. No dramatic lighting or obscuring camera-angles. Just a tutor teaching *genuinely* easier songs in a clear and logical way.
Aww thanks Joe! Appreciate the kind words.
Yep. Agreed. I think it's the approach and the true hidden intention. Instead of 'I'm going to teach you something that I know. Look at me!' kind of separated approach. Or that talking into empty space while looking at a camera vibe, sorta hollow. Lauren is more personable and inclusive. Kind of a let's learn together, I'm here to play along a with you, chilled. It's a subtle difference, but boy, is it a difference.
Not only have I gotten faster at my guitar picking my wife has been super nice to me lately for some reason. She must really be proud of my improvement in my scales.
😂
My finger at foreplay became faster I don't know but it was really helpful.
Lauren improving your guitar playing and your marriage!
GAWD!! Can we not stop with the BS upside down tabs?! Up = 🔼
Down = 🔽. There’s not a single musician past, present or future; who didn’t learn the previous sentence before they ever picked up an instrument!
But just to be clear, great exercise! It’s now a daily. 🎶
The progress I’ve made with this exercise is insane. I’ve only been playing for a week now; couldn’t even lift my third finger at first, but now I can move it just as independently as my first finger. It’s definitely improved my chord changing too, and in such little time. Thank you!!!
Woo hoo that's so awesome!!!
This comment really motivates me to do this exercise more
@@ananttiwari1337 haha same
I am a Bass player getting into guitar. One week. This is an exercise that yields results because it focuses on the mechanism of chord changing....it is a game changer. 20 is Plenty. Relax. No forcing. Thank you for this gift. 😊❤️
Well said! 100%
I'm still at it. This will remain part of my warm up because it really does work. Rock on!
Hey I wanna know hows ur progress? Going good?
Lauren, I'm an older student (63), and this exercise is wonderful for arthritic joints in the fingers. It keeps my fingers somewhat limber and as we all know, if the joint is moving, fresh blood flows to it and keeps them healthy! Thank You for this useful exercise..
Peter you're so welcome. Glad it helps!
Im 63 too. I started to learn 9 months ago. Lauren is most encouraging and helpful. How are you getting on?
@@wildalbalass4867 After the initial painful fingers and joints, not too bad. I honestly never knew there was this much involved in the guitar. I always thought it was extremely difficult, and some parts are but for the most I think it a person's love of music that carries them through. Barr chords are my biggest problem. I just can't seem to get them right. Are you doing well?
I'm 61, and I hope you're right!
@@RealPeterGunn Cut out all processed sugar foods, and your arthrictic condition will subside over time. Give yourself a one month challenge on this. Includes sugar in coffee.
This is unbelievably helpful. I've started doing it a mere once a day, 15 reps per finger, because it hurt to do more at the beginning. Takes about 2 minutes total. I could see and feel results as of the 3rd day. Yes, the THIRD day. Mind blowing. Thank you Lauren.
Awesome!
Brilliant work. I had developed some of my own before your video and all your analysis of the fingers especially the ring finger is so spot on. I used to think that I was cursed. Now I know that it is normal. Your warning is also spot on. It does hurt pretty quickly. Thank you so much.
I watched this about three weeks ago and did great with my 1st and 2nd fingers, fair with my 4th and figured my 3rd finger was never going to work any better than what it did which was pathetic at best. I did every step as you described in the video, even assisting my 3rd finger from the 3rd to the 6th and 1st strings for a couple of days. After the first week all my fingers were working much better with the 3rd still a bit slower and today all four fingers are moving great independently of each other. This will be a part of my warmup and stretching exercises for as long as I'm around to play. Thank you, Lauren!
That's awesome, sounds like you're off to a good start. Definitely keep this in until you get those fingers moving faster
67 y/o here. This exercise is great. Thank you Lauren for this! Very helpful. In fact I appreciate your lesson aimed at older players. Don't know that anyone else is helping older folks like this.
Glad it was helpful!
It's techniques like these that are incredibly underrated. Absolutely good medicine for your guitar technique that's going to have a pretty immediate impact on your playing.
Thanks!
This practice has changed my life. I started playing guitar 7 years ago. But those 7 can't compete with these 4 weeks of practice. I'm flying on air. Thanks mam for this precious lesson ❤️💜💜❤️💜
Amazing!!!
Brilliant and motivational (as usual). Thanks, Lauren
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m a beginner player and this has made a huge difference. I struggle much less with the chord changes. Thank you!!
Happy to help! You're welcome!
ah, that darn ring finger: commitment, responsibility; no wonder it leads the pinky and the up-yours astray, but faithful practice leads to a harmonious union....thanks for the exercise, Lauren.
Good luck with it!!
So important! If this works, you're a hero.
I'm eager to get back into guitar myself, and I know one of the most frustrating things for me was the lack of flexibility in the fingers and was disappointing when trying to play chords with uncomfortable shapes.
So crucial to really have the basics down and free up your "toolbox/resources" first.
A capable and resourceful guitarist is a confident and less frustrated guitarist (as I'd say it).
This is crazy. I can't believe the improvement I've made from doing this. Has to be hands down, one of the best exercises I've found.
Awesome!
Another brilliant step by step guide with visuals that help explains your points. Also great health and safety alert for practicing. Thanks for being a great teacher.
You're welcome!
One of the Best Videos I’ve seen in all my years playing Guitar.
seems like a great exercise to do when your brain is too tired to play complicated stuff but you want to keep improving.
Definitely!
Great finger exercise! You've addressed another one of my challenges: my fourth and fifth fingers don't seem to want to stretch much. I will give this exercise a try!
You can do it!
I am 18 and i started learning guitar,as i always wanted,but i am a self learner,so please upload these type of tutorials for beginners,loved your content ❤
I LOVE this. I've been playing for 30 years and teaching 20. I've never seen this exercise. I'm happy to see that I had no issues with my 3rd finger but I can feel that it's more challenging. I can feel that burn on hand AND my forearm. I did start thinking about overdoing it so I'm glad you mentioned that. I will start sharing this with my students.
Glad it was helpful!
@@LaurenBateman If you count the 20 per finger as one set, how many sets do you think is good if you spread it through out the day? Is one set per day good?
This is a fantastic tip Lauren. While I have developed great independence with my fingers in many styles, I now find after seeing the sheet music to Paganini's Caprices only recently I am considering how to apply personal practice techniques to attempt to learn some of those passages. I already can see how through your lesson I can extend my practice. Thanks for the upload.
This is awesome John. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic! Thank you so much! Short video and so life changing ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Lauren you are inspiring and I already feel I am learning by just watching you. Doing this to help!
Awesome! Thank you!
I should've watch this 15 years earlier. I saw, I subscribed & start straight today. One unique lesson I never seen before. Thank you
That fretboard is gorgeous! Clearly a self motivated, fearless accomplished person. Thanks for sharing and wishing you continued success!
Thank you so much Johnny!
Hi Lauren. Thanks for this exercise. It's helping me limber up my crooked ring and pinky fingers broken and poorly healed when I was 19 (I'm 65 now).
Once I get the strumming patterns down, I'll be golden!
Glad to know it was helpful!
THE BEST FINGER EXERCISE VIDEO I'VE EVER PRACTICED!! This has helped me to no end & I've been practicing for many yrs.
Thanks for sharing, will incorporate this in my warm-up and practice regime!
Awesome!!!
Thank You Lauren as an older player ( 59 ) with Arthrose , from the Netherlands Europe , where the Winters are very cold , this exercise of Yours is an eye opener and very helpfull , so thank You again , with love and respect xxx .
You are welcome!
Thanks for this great lesson Lauren. Very useful 💯
You're so welcome!
Honestly glad the youtbe algorithm recommended this video to me I've seen alot of things saying it will help you get faster but this is the first one that actually felt like it helps it addresses the problem at it source and I think I'll finally get out of my slump with this technique
Thanks again for the great tip! Quality lesson like always I was working on a exercise similar to that but yours beats mine hands down
Rock on
Thank you Lauren! I've been playing 23 years and just recently decided to start incorporating exercises (self taught and unfortunately never really learnt any). I've been looking for something to work the tendons and this exercise works great especially part of my warm up to loosen my hands.
Take care ✌
You're so welcome!
Too fast... too much dialogues.... Didn't played...
Starting this exercise right now. I am excited to see some results in 1 or 2 weeks! Thanks for sharing, Lauren! :)
You got this!
Quick Update. I start to see a little bit of a difference in my pinky, which was stiff and not really able to move around freely or even stretch up to the 1st string. My ringfinger, to my own surprise, was doing alright from the get-go. It feels easier to change chords now (which I also still practice a lot).
For now, this exercise does make a difference! I can also recommend doing the spider exercise and it's vast amount of variations, but the best I can recommend, is to play scales, for a musical approach. Choose a key and practice e.g. pentatonic, Blues and major scales in an alternating way. It's fun!
@@nope3581 any updates?
@@logjpg I don't do this exercise regularly anymore. I feel like, the more you play chords changes the faster you eventualy get.
I do variations of the spider exercise on a daily basis now, which feels great :)
Thanks for posting all these videos and teaching us.
Glad you like them!
what an excellent teacher you are , really appreciate your conerns towards our improvement !!!
Many thanks!
I will be 78 in 25days. Recorded 4 albums for Decca Records in the 70s. A good guitarist for that time but your lesson in this particular video get me going back to the basic.. thank you AdamOsa
Rock on!
Wow ,fantastic !! I've been a guitarist for 49 years i will definitely be using this exercise, feels great!!
Rock on!!!
ive seen this type of exercise on tiktok!! its really effective!!
Thank you. Really good stuff. I'm going to sign up for your course.
That's awesome John. Please do!
I started on the electric at 17 but then sold it just a few years ago. At 52, I've picked up the acoustic, and I'm trying to do the many things I did wrong on the electric right. This is an intriguing exercise and I think I'll be following your channel. Thanks
Shane, welcome aboard!
I always light a candle when doing these exercises. Very relaxing.
Oooo. Nice!
this is so brilliant! thanks so much lauren!
Glad you liked it!!
This is really helpful, thank you
Thanks for watching!
I'm a student taking guitar and this video really helped! Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome!
I’m a black belt in kung fu and a musician. She had me at “I was a boxer…” and sure ‘nuff, she knows stuff. “Relaxation, breathe” Thank you Lauren. I liked and subscribed.
Thank you :D
I'm into JuJitSu love it and trying to play my guitar.
Picking up my guitar after a looong break, thank you for the exercise and the tips! Great video ❤
You are very welcome :D You got this!
Thank you so much❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this! What a great exercise. It's interesting reading comments from people who have been playing for decades discovering and loving this exercise. Makes me feel so fortunate to have access to as many experts and teachers as I could want through the internet--I can't imagine being self-taught 30 years ago. Thanks for doing what you do :)
Happy to help!
In boxing and Tai Chi the stance is similar to Flamenco guitar, the principals of blood flow in the left arm, relaxation and breathing. Lauren is pretty cool teaching this. It's about time someone did.
Wow thank you!
Superb. Following. From Sri Lanka
Im gonna try this finger excercise. Thankyou so much
Nice! I've been playing for about 21 years and I have never tried that excercise! Seems nice, I'll give it a try on my next practice session.👍
Rock on!!
This exercise will definitely carry a guitar player to negotiate the fretboard with dexterity. Huge thanks for this lovely guidance. ✌
Thanks for watching!
Yes!!! This sometimes gets overlooked by many guitarists,This is a great video,Keep up the great work!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video and the exercise! After all these years an exercise I haven’t seen before. I will give it a try!
Hope you like it!
Thank you for this as a beginner this is a great finger practice...no forcing and no pressure and after a week my finger moves much freely...recommend this one👏👏
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback.
This is definitely gonna be helpful to me. I started playing guitar back when I was 11 but i did not resume playing until I was given an acoustic guitar towards the end of the summer. I played for tips on the street from day 1 but it is freezing cold outside so i am forced to practice at home and not getting tips for it. ( yes I know enough chords to not totally stink). This is a good exercise. Thank you!
You’re so welcome!
Very Useful👍👍👍
I've been struggling to learn anything on my acoustic guitar. This video on finger exercises made me realise that's where I need to focus.
I’m collecting useful guitar tips for a young teen who wants to learn guitar with me. I’m a classical sax and jazz piano player. I only know a bit about guitar. This is the best beginner tip I’ve found so far! Thanks!
So glad to help!!!!
Lauren you are such a compliment to my teacher for guitar. You give only what is needed and never fluff. I love what you are doing in this extremely competitive market of guitar instructors. Keep up the great work and thank you. That's a great exercise and you are right - this is one you don't want to overdue.
I have one small request -> Father and Daughter by Paul Simon. I can't figure out that riff at the beginning of the song. It's definitely a scale but it's not obvious to me. Thanks (oh and it's a great song too)
Thank you for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.
Thank you for the tips.
Our pleasure!
Thank you Lauren I'm definitely doing this Exercise👍🎸🙏
Go for it!
This is good advice. Beware of doing too many of these with the second finger. Concentrate on the other three. Nice one! 🎶👍
Great tip!
Thank you very much for this exercise! I´ve been playing guitar for 19 years and never heard of this exercise befor. It´s great and i love it. I was training my ring finger with some exercise i created on my own:
Let your fingers touch your palm. Now raise your middle finger. Well... as i think about it, you better don´t practise in public^^ Lower the middle finger and raise the ring finger. Lower the ring finger and raise your middle finger. Do this for 20s. This shoud be enough. So 1 and 4 are always on the palm. You Raise 2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3... I call it cycling. After a few days you might notice that your fingers become more independent.
Yes! You got this.
Wooow you have told an amazing tip. Thank you very much to share. I have subscribed your channel. After watching many videos of other people. But your tip was amazing
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you lauren for humbling me, i just realised how much more i could learn
Thank you for watching and keep playing!
Watched your video this morning, and then tried the exercise right after. I never realized the lack of control or independent movement on my ring finger. Hopefully this will help gain more control.
Tiffany, I hope it works for you and starts loosening up that hand.
This is an awesome lesson. I asked a question about speed during your recent live video and this adds to the answer you gave me back then. You’re instructions are clear, useful and easy to understand. Thank you for what you do. 😊
Fantastic!
Absolutely awesome! Great dexterity training and good to have.
Thanks!
Thanks for the offer, ill practice as well ❤
Please do!
Any Piano Player: "Oh really, you can not bend your pinky finger without moving your whole hand? Guess I can skip that..." :D
I don't play any instruments yet, but I can totally move my pinkie on it's own
lol fr tho
This is a cool exercise. I haven’t seen this one before. Great advice about tension too. I’ve spent at least half and maybe two thirds of the last 48 years strangling my guitar neck. A lighter touch makes for quicker hands.
Glad it was helpful!
@@LaurenBateman It’s absolutely helpful. I’ll definitely be doing it every day as part of my practice. On day one I had to move my rind finger with my picking hand to get the motion right but today I had some muscle memory locked in and could do it unassisted. I’ve been playing lead guitar long enough that the tendon thing doesn’t affect my fingers but to tell my ring finger to make movements it’s not used to making was pretty humbling. Thanks again.
Lauren throwing a punch is everything! ❤. Awesome lesson. Need it badly 🥰🥰🥰
You're welcome!
Thankyou for this beautiful ĺesson.
I really appreciate this
You're very welcome!
This video helped because I’m a starter
Rock on!!
Thank you. I’ve seen numerous videos, but never seen this kind of lesson
Thanks for watching!
I can already say this will dfntly help.. Thank you for the lesson
Glad to hear that!
I realized I barred my first finger unconsciously when I tried the others. When I did my third finger, I couldn't keep my second finger pressing the string and I really needed to focus just to do the third finger movement at all. I have a TON of practice switching chords. I have confidence with fast chord changes, but couldn't do this exercise. Thank you for all the tips. I get my spider practice trying to improve playing the solos in the songs I love. Santeria from Sublime has my favorite and fastest spider movements in its solo.
Jeramie, I learned this after playing guitar for many years and I have issues. Amazing the things you don't know until you learn them.
i never skip finger day 😎
Not only is your video very informative, you actually take your time and explain
Thank you very much!
Great tips. Thanks teach!❤
You are so welcome!
Your exercise seems like genius. I am an absolute beginner. Thank you.
Blessings, Grace and Peace 😊
Thank you so much!
Omgee i needed this my fingers are small and dont stretch 😂 ill be adding this to my daily practice
🤣🤣
You are an amazing person and an amazing teacher thank you for that video ❤
Thank you!
You are great! TY for supporting the novice community with such great help.
Glad it was helpful!
I didnt start learning guitar to help cope with anxiety, I just want to make music. But relaxation and releasing tension is something I really struggle with. I think guitar will really help me with this. It gives me a positive motivation to relax and takes the focus off of my inner issues. Thank you for the lesson!
Happy to help!
*I tried it with my girlfriend guitar and she said "oh fuck im coming home"*
Literally bro!?🤣
😂😂😂
THANK YOU. I don't know what else to say. Have been playing for several years. The wisdom on the ring finger... wow.. that made everything!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this exercise! Always happy to see teachers include breathing and relaxation ^^
You're so welcome!
my gf send me this, i dont even play guitar help
Are you looking to start playing?
Great
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant! That is a great exercise, I'll be adding that to my practice! Thanks very much😎
Awesome!
I hadn’t seen this exercise before! Looking forward to trying it! Thanks for sharing!
Rock on. One of the most helpful exercises I've ever learned on guitar.
I’m literally laughing out loud right now because last when I tried this, I thought I was able to get through it with that infamous 3rd finger (2nd from last) okay, but tonight (tanow) it’s hysterically impossible (slight exaggeration, but still)! Thanks, I’ll keep at it!
