Exercise Fingers

Everyone that plays guitar wants to play as well as possible. The hardest part about sounding good on guitar is getting your fingers to do what you want them to do. Learning how to play guitar chords is one thing, being able to switch from one chord to another quickly and smoothly is another. The more you practice switching between chords, the better you will get. But you can really improve your ability by doing some guitar finger exercises at the beginning of all of your practice sessions.

As with any other work-out program, in order to get the best results you need to warm-up and stretch the muscles you will be working on. It is no different with the muscles in your fingers, and the best way to warm them up is by doing some guitar finger exercises.

Before doing any guitar finger exercises you should stretch your finger muscles first. You can do this by bending your fingers back to the point of resistance and hold it there for about ten seconds. Do not bend them back to where it is painful. Once you have stretched your muscles you can now do some exercises.

The most basic guitar finger exercise is a four notes per string routine. Starting on the sixth string play the first fret with your first finger, then second fret,second finger,then third fret, third finger, and fourth fret fourth finger. Now repeat this on the fifth string, and then the fourth string and so on to the first string, and then back down again. Now move up one fret and repeat the whole sequence starting on the second fret. After each sequence move up one more fret and do this all the way through up to the twelfth fret. You should do this as slow as you have to in order to maintain an even tempo and making sure each note is played cleanly. This next tip might sound a little strange, but if you say the number of each finger out loud as you use it, in other words saying one, two, three, four, it increases the muscle memory connection between your brain and your fingers. In order to give your right hand a workout to you should use alternating picking while doing these exercises, meaning down up down up down up.

It is also very beneficial to use a metronome if you have one when ever you do any guitar finger exercises, as this will improve your sense of timing. Start out with a slow enough tempo to be able to play each note cleanly and then keep increasing the tempo a little at a time each time you do this exercise.

If you can spend at least five or ten minutes a day on this guitar finger exercise you will notice a great improvement in all other aspects of your guitar playing.
