People visit the gym to heighten fitness, increase stamina, build endurance and improve their overall performance. In this book you will visit the guitar finger-gym where you will train your fingers to achieve new levels of dexterity, stamina, and coordination.
The exercises featured in this book suit both electric and acoustic guitar. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or an advanced player, anyone can benefit from the examples featured in this book. Although there is no easy way to hone your technique, the examples given here will provide shortcuts and will produce massive results in your guitar playing.
The exercises I have provided are adaptable, so feel free to change any of the strategies and techniques to suit your specific guitar requirements. For beginners, I recommend starting at the first chapter and working your way through the book from start to finish. More advanced players can pick specific exercises and techniques they focus on areas they are struggling with and dedicate their practice time to mastering those examples.
The examples featured throughout this book are laid out in a logical fashion and can be worked on as a long series of exercises or as individual ideas. It is far better to exercise for a few minutes every day, rather than for thirty minutes once a week.
At the end of the book, I have provided sample guitar finger-gym workouts. These workouts are divided up into 10 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute and 60 minute sessions. They will help you create a balanced practice routine that combines all the elements in each chapter.
The majority of book contains small bite-size examples that develop specific areas of your guitar playing but the final chapter includes a track I wrote called Dexterous Driver. Each workout will end by playing this track so you can always finish your practice routine with a full piece of music.
The audio for this book is available from http://www.fundamental-changes.com/download-audio so you can hear how I play an d phras e each example. The backing tracks provide a perfect platform for you to explore each lick and technique.
All the examples in this book will improve your guitar technique but remember that the most fundamental principle is to always enjoy yourself and have fun playing music.
Happy Playing!
Simon
During my playing career Ive noticed that on certain days, I can play at the top of my ability fairly quickly, but on other days, it takes much longer than I anticipated to feel comfortable and creative. The days I play my best are the ones where I had properly warmed up all areas of my playing.
This chapter focuses on how to improve your dexterity and coordination, and this will warm your fingers up extremely quickly.
Consider these key points when learning the following examples.
1) Ensure there is space between the fingers of your fretting hand. By learning to play these examples with room between your fingers, you will develop strength in the correct tendons and muscles of the hand.
2) Keep your knuckles upright at all times.
) Try to always keep each finger in one designated fret (the one-finger-per-fret).
4) Aim for minimal movement in your fretting and picking hands.
5) Stop if you feel any pain. When it comes to guitar playing, no pain no gain is never the way forward. Stretch thoroughly before you play the examples in this chapter and stop if you feel any strain.
One Finger Per Fret
Stick to th e one-finger-per-fret rule when learning these examples unless otherwise stated. The idea behind the rule is that you allocate one finger to each fret that you play. For example, if you play notes between the 1st and 4th frets, use your first finger for the 1st frets notes, your second finger for all 2nd frets notes, etc. This can be seen in the diagram below:
Using A Metronome
When you are developing your technique using these finger-gym examples try to always use a metronome.
Begin playing each example very slowly with the metronome set at 50bpm, and make sure that every note is clean and audible. Watch your picking hand and notice if you are applying the strict down, up alternate picking pattern required.
When you can play an example perfectly three times in a row at 50bpm, try raising the metronome up to 53bpm. Continue to increase the metronome speed in increments of 3 beats-per-minute up to your target speed of 80bpm+.
