Appreciate your dedication. Keep it up 🎸👍🏿

I used to be so wrong about practicing this spider exercise dude, I used to think that the faster I play the better I'll get, It's somewhat true but not when your guitar sounds like someone running on wooden floor ... and I used to immediately lift up the previous finger after I put on next one, Those were the to biggest mistakes ,

Watching this video my fingers are hurting

Rule of the day 14 is important guys

Your day 1 is probably day 100 for some people 😭😭

Seems you were a little better than you led on to be in the beginning.

I am having a lot of trouble having any sort of autonomy with my ring finger. I cant seem to move it to the next string without picking up the pinky finger from the previous string. It is super frustrating that i cant even do what you are doing on day 1. Any thoughts or advice on this?

should i do this even if i have 7months of guitar experience

I do not see that happeneing in a month unless you have played on and off for 14 years.

I came back to this exercise, did it at 80 bpm metronome then moving up to 120 then moving up to 80 bpm doubletime. Just fret 1-2-3-4, and right hand fingerpicking index middle ring middle. I focused on the tone that I was making and not speed, tryinf to get it to sound even and not buzz and try to let the notes ring and not cut short. After just doing this for 30 mins to an hour my playing was much smoother and sounded better and sounded more consistent and considerablu so. It also improved my hand synchronization making it easier to play scales faster. Keep in mind before i did this i had been playing already for an hour or two. For whatever reason just doing that reminded my how to play properly and not sloppily. My point is this drill really reinforces good technique if you do it properly and I would do this before every practice session and even during just to dial in the proper tone out of your fingers. Especially importsnt for fingerpicking. Almost like tuning your fingers instead of guitar. Important thing I would say is to focus on tone. Timing is important too. Speed is tertiary, you must keep tone and timing consistent, then speed. Thats why he starts off so slow. Even at 60 bpm you should scrutinize the tone and make it sound as even as possible, and make it sound how you want it to on each individual string, for example if one string sounds too bright when playing you can angle your plucking fingers to get a warmer tone or if you want a brighter tone, or reduce string scratching noise when plucking, you can play with plucking fingers more perpendicular on that string. And just reinforce this over and over again.

Nah this is epic you did so good

Slucajno kliknem na video i vidim poznatu facu hahahahaha Samo jako

Some of this sounds like call of ktulu

Tomo Fujita has the best breakdown of this exercise. check him out. one of the best teachers around. if you dont know who he is, some of the best known players in the world do.

How to do the spider exercise?

Does this help if you just started to learn? I have 1 week playing

Those strings have seen better years lol

What if you can do stuff like this easily at high speeds, but don't know a single song, scale or anything else to play really? xD

No one can do such a fast walking exercise. I think you have been playing the guitar for a long time. Just play the exercise late.

eventually the chromatic climb just becomes a Groove in its own right, I'm just boppin my head instead of reading the Lesson subtitles 💀💀

it’s like you’re growing extra fingers as you progress…

Are you playing 8th note every beat ?

I like it how the picking sound becomes a second metronome.

its hardly 7 days im starting and i just thinking about quitting learning guitar because of pain and not good in finger exercise but now after watching this video i am also pushing my self for 30 days and reviewing the progress...

John Petrucci: “If you can’t play something fast, try to play it faster and fail. Then it won’t seem as fast anymore and then you’ll be able to play it”

You’re too hard on yourself. Great job

You are inspiring me to continue.. I'm almost getting fed up and relenting 😢😢 I'm subscribing to your channel

Wow, this is great. I’m gonna start doing this.

awes ome

Inspiring !

I came to know from gpt chat that there are thousands of finger exercises but on youtube everyone explains chromatic exercises lol

what would be interesting is to see if these exercises improve your guitar playing or just the exercise playing like say you pick a song u never played on day 1 and try to play it, then 30 days of just the exercise, no practicing the song, then u test to play the same song only 30 days later with the exercise. i honestly think u would play the song almost the same

spoiler alert: he gets better.

You played guitat longer then my whole life. Conclusion: I am less important then a guitar.

does this helps my pinky to not have its own brain. My pinky is so weak i never even use it. Ive been playing guitar for yrs, avoiding songs that require pinky uses

Respect. I can not force my pinky to stay down. He has a mind of his own... :)

Nice thanks

2 hours of spider walk... No thanks. I'd rather have fun.

Why did you start on the fifth fret and finish on the third

Guys do you pick each individual string

Dang, we even got the same Classical Guitar, the brand is Yamaha righttt???

Nice 👍

What were the results??? You never said

Is 28 too late to learn Everyone who's good learned as children

Been playing off and on for about 20 years. Never really got any good outside of a few intros, solos and on whole instrumental. Never heard about spider walking until a few days ago. I watched this and saw how he was struggling on day 1 to keep his fingers still, and thought “damn. How can anyone struggle with this?” All of that is to say, this is a very humbling exercise. I was certain I knew enough that I didn’t need to try too hard for this exercise.

My pinky keeps muting the next string i go to. Maybe its just too short 😢

for how long did you practice every day?

Man, this entire thing is so freaking painful to watch but so productive in the end. I'm taking it a few days a month.

Great progress; the next thing to work on is letting every note ring out, and adding rhythmic picking strength on the attack. It sounds awesome when you nail it! Wish I still had to motivation to practice...

Thanks for sharing, your frank opinion, dedication, hard work with perseverance is great source of encouragement, inspiration to follow in your successful journey… & the challenging struggles that encounter to achieve the ultimate goal 👏👏👍
