This is extremely similar if not the exact same thing as separating your limbs with drumming. It took me time and practice to separate my limbs to play certain drum beats. This is the same thing but instead of 4 limbs it's 4 fingers. You have to create new neural pathways with repeated movements for it to eventually become second nature.

Well, well. my pinky isn't long enough to curl over the G string so that the index finger can play the B string. Now what?
@guitargympro25 күн бұрын
Typically 'not long enough' is actually a wrist problem. The are people who are very small who can play with great facility. I don't actually play the strings in the exercise, though, it's all about connecting your brain and fingers. So, if the pad of your finger is 'muting' a string it isn't a big deal. This will still work :)

I was shocked when I first saw this video. I tried it for the first time 10 minutes ago (I’m very new at guitar), and my fingers and hand hurt so much. It feels like I can’t, my fingers don’t sit properly and especially my pinky feels like its so off and it keeps touching the bottom string where my pinkie is placed. It’s probably because I’m new, and I hope I improve eventually because I get really frustrated at my fingers when im practicing. Regardless thanks for this vid.

Bro I am having problem for remembering the song.I am an intermediate guitar player and till now I have learnt almost 200 songs by my own ear . When somebody like my friends, siblings,guests etc ask me to play any song i get stuck over there.I need to take a small pause between the song to find the lead notes again. So how I can revise my huge list of songs so that I can play any song smoothly in a right tempo.
@guitargympro4 ай бұрын
It's about knowing the song well enough that you can't forget it. Listening to the song more - not even playing it, so that you absolutely can bring it to mind in your 'mind's ear' instantly. You need to know every song as well as you know songs you listened to in high school.

One variation is to poise the fingers above the third string until they are needed. It's difficult to do and maintain but seems to teach a core mechanic of string manipulation.

Yeah buddy. For me, Play painfully slow. Build up that muscle memory. Also, how you pick. Where is the pick positioned to strike? Do it with hammer ons and pull offs. Then alternate picking. Learn to feel the notes. Good luck with your school. People also have to understand. First get an ear for being in tune. Barre chords are the killer. Many will stop there. Working through frustration. Loving what you play because you will chase sounding like someone else until you sound like you.👍🏾

@@guitargympro quick question though. I noticed that when you flip flop your fingers both fingers land simultaneously. I can do that with the 1st and 2nd finger, but when I try to land each finger simultaneously with the 2nd and 3rd finger, I can’t do it. I can only move them one at a time. Do you think that if I keep practicing moving them one at a time eventually I will get to the point where I can land them simultaneously? In other words, do you still think the exercise is beneficial if I can only move certain fingers one at a time?
@guitargympro4 ай бұрын
@@keychange6231 Yes! absolutely! Start with 1 finger at a time. The next step is to lift them up together but place them down one at a time. And eventually you'll be able to move them together :)
