This Guitar Finger Exercise Builds Strength & Dexterity
It is a very simple guitar finger exercise, and if you go through it step-by-step, adding a little bit each time, you’ll get the best/fastest results.
To start, practice the Descent and Ascent in your own time (no metronome) until you can get through it without mistakes. When you’re ready:
- SET METRONOME TO 60 BPM
- Descending (8765) with 2 beats of “set up”
- Descending (8765) with 1 beats of “set up”
- Descending (8765) with 0 beats of “set up”
- Ascending (5678)
- Combine DESCENDING + ASCENDING and be able to do it perfectly 4x in a row at 60 bpm
- 6) Instead of Downstrokes only, start going “Down-up”
- Raise tempo to 62bpm, 64, 66, etc. Don’t raise tempo until you can do it 2-3x perfectly
- Play this exercise all over the fretboard (start at 1st fret, or 10th, or wherever.. it’s up to you!)
