[@HansOellerich]

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I've been a professional guitarist for 24 years. I just did this exercise and it made me feel like I've never picked up the instrument in my life. Thank you!! I will be doing this daily from now on.

[@LaurenBateman]

Same! I had been playing for maybe 10 years and I felt like I had never played before.

[@IV_VOID]

How’s the results ? i’m intrigued how much you’ve improved by this haha

[@HansOellerich]

Actually, smartie. I've been doing this everyday and I feel like it's contributing to some increased cordination, and control in my playing. Whatever works for a person. Have a nice life.

[@IV_VOID]

@@HansOellerich smartie ? not sure what you mean by that but i’m glad to hear man , I’ve also started trying this exercise everyday. so 🤷🏽‍♂️ we’ll see how that goes for me.

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww thanks Joe! Appreciate the kind words.

[@jed88]

Yep. Agreed. I think it's the approach and the true hidden intention. Instead of 'I'm going to teach you something that I know. Look at me!' kind of separated approach. Or that talking into empty space while looking at a camera vibe, sorta hollow. Lauren is more personable and inclusive. Kind of a let's learn together, I'm here to play along a with you, chilled. It's a subtle difference, but boy, is it a difference.

[@GreenEarth140]

I totally agree with you.

[@tajcole7931]

The progress I’ve made with this exercise is insane. I’ve only been playing for a week now; couldn’t even lift my third finger at first, but now I can move it just as independently as my first finger. It’s definitely improved my chord changing too, and in such little time. Thank you!!!

This is unbelievably helpful. I've started doing it a mere once a day, 15 reps per finger, because it hurt to do more at the beginning. Takes about 2 minutes total. I could see and feel results as of the 3rd day. Yes, the THIRD day. Mind blowing. Thank you Lauren.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome!

2 minutes in total? It takes me 2 minutes just to put all my fingers in place! 😂😢

[@RealPeterGunn]

Lauren, I'm an older student (63), and this exercise is wonderful for arthritic joints in the fingers. It keeps my fingers somewhat limber and as we all know, if the joint is moving, fresh blood flows to it and keeps them healthy! Thank You for this useful exercise..

[@LaurenBateman]

Peter you're so welcome. Glad it helps!

[@wildalbalass4867]

Im 63 too. I started to learn 9 months ago. Lauren is most encouraging and helpful. How are you getting on?

[@RealPeterGunn]

@@wildalbalass4867 After the initial painful fingers and joints, not too bad. I honestly never knew there was this much involved in the guitar. I always thought it was extremely difficult, and some parts are but for the most I think it a person's love of music that carries them through. Barr chords are my biggest problem. I just can't seem to get them right. Are you doing well?

[@TheRealThomasPaine1776]

I'm 61, and I hope you're right!

[@Ice-Fall]

@@RealPeterGunn Cut out all processed sugar foods, and your arthrictic condition will subside over time. Give yourself a one month challenge on this. Includes sugar in coffee.

[@vacuumelite2065]

I am a Bass player getting into guitar. One week. This is an exercise that yields results because it focuses on the mechanism of chord changing....it is a game changer. 20 is Plenty. Relax. No forcing. Thank you for this gift. 😊❤️

Well said! 100%

[@Guitarlessonshub]

Are you kidding?🎉😂

[@DwightP980]

I watched this about three weeks ago and did great with my 1st and 2nd fingers, fair with my 4th and figured my 3rd finger was never going to work any better than what it did which was pathetic at best. I did every step as you described in the video, even assisting my 3rd finger from the 3rd to the 6th and 1st strings for a couple of days. After the first week all my fingers were working much better with the 3rd still a bit slower and today all four fingers are moving great independently of each other. This will be a part of my warmup and stretching exercises for as long as I'm around to play. Thank you, Lauren!

[@LaurenBateman]

That's awesome, sounds like you're off to a good start. Definitely keep this in until you get those fingers moving faster

[@AdamGbl95]

So important! If this works, you're a hero. I'm eager to get back into guitar myself, and I know one of the most frustrating things for me was the lack of flexibility in the fingers and was disappointing when trying to play chords with uncomfortable shapes. So crucial to really have the basics down and free up your "toolbox/resources" first. A capable and resourceful guitarist is a confident and less frustrated guitarist (as I'd say it).

[@berryz42ghostz]

Incase you're wondering, this works. I started doing this three days ago and have slready noticed small improvements!

[@somarriba333]

I LOVE this. I've been playing for 30 years and teaching 20. I've never seen this exercise. I'm happy to see that I had no issues with my 3rd finger but I can feel that it's more challenging. I can feel that burn on hand AND my forearm. I did start thinking about overdoing it so I'm glad you mentioned that. I will start sharing this with my students.

[@LaurenBateman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@somarriba333]

@@LaurenBateman If you count the 20 per finger as one set, how many sets do you think is good if you spread it through out the day? Is one set per day good?

[@shark_lover_BG19]

I started to learn guitar a few months ago, chords are really intimidating. I can never do the switches on time and ive avoided practicing chords all together- I feel like this exercise will help alot! Will update!!

This is crazy. I can't believe the improvement I've made from doing this. Has to be hands down, one of the best exercises I've found.

[@LaurenBateman]

Awesome!

[@namelesswanderer9315]

What helped me was a few variations. Sorry for textwall. 1. I put all fingers on G string, one finger per fret. I move first finger to top string, then bottom, then top, back to bottom, I do it 20 times, then back to G. I do this on each finger. For my first week or so, I had to use my other hand to help move a finger or hold a finger in place while another finger moves. 2. I curl one finger onto my palm. Then I slowly bend/straighten my other fingers. I have to use my other hand to help. THIS IS IT! I WAS TRYING TO FIND THIS VIDEO, FORGETTING IT WAS YOU!! THANK YOU FOR THIS, YOU SAVED MY DEAD HANDS!! I've been telling everyone about this for about 6 months now, but I forgot the video. I bookmarked it and will post this whenever I need to. Thank you!!

[@zubunapy]

Thank you very much for this exercise! I´ve been playing guitar for 19 years and never heard of this exercise befor. It´s great and i love it. I was training my ring finger with some exercise i created on my own: Let your fingers touch your palm. Now raise your middle finger. Well... as i think about it, you better don´t practise in public^^ Lower the middle finger and raise the ring finger. Lower the ring finger and raise your middle finger. Do this for 20s. This shoud be enough. So 1 and 4 are always on the palm. You Raise 2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3... I call it cycling. After a few days you might notice that your fingers become more independent.

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes! You got this.

[@Chillmaster04]

I started on the electric at 17 but then sold it just a few years ago. At 52, I've picked up the acoustic, and I'm trying to do the many things I did wrong on the electric right. This is an intriguing exercise and I think I'll be following your channel. Thanks

Starting this exercise right now. I am excited to see some results in 1 or 2 weeks! Thanks for sharing, Lauren! :)

[@LaurenBateman]

You got this!

[@nope3581]

Quick Update. I start to see a little bit of a difference in my pinky, which was stiff and not really able to move around freely or even stretch up to the 1st string. My ringfinger, to my own surprise, was doing alright from the get-go. It feels easier to change chords now (which I also still practice a lot). For now, this exercise does make a difference! I can also recommend doing the spider exercise and it's vast amount of variations, but the best I can recommend, is to play scales, for a musical approach. Choose a key and practice e.g. pentatonic, Blues and major scales in an alternating way. It's fun!

[@logjpg]

@@nope3581 any updates?

[@nope3581]

​​​@@logjpg I don't do this exercise regularly anymore. I feel like, the more you play chords changes the faster you eventualy get. I do variations of the spider exercise on a daily basis now, which feels great :)

This is a fantastic tip Lauren. While I have developed great independence with my fingers in many styles, I now find after seeing the sheet music to Paganini's Caprices only recently I am considering how to apply personal practice techniques to attempt to learn some of those passages. I already can see how through your lesson I can extend my practice. Thanks for the upload.

[@LaurenBateman]

This is awesome John. Keep up the good work.

I'm right handed, and I've been playing guitar, strumming style, for well over 50 years. I can work my left hand fingers fairly well independently. They've been forminng accurately and fast chords for a long time. My right hand has to catch up and learn independent movement. Thanks for the explanation. I'm 72 yrs old and loving my 2019 Martin D-18 that I recently acquired in order to learn the joy of finger style picking. Thanks for your help. Great lesson.

[@bobwadsworth4799]

I am SO HAPPY I found this video. I am older, mid-60's, played basketball in HS and college and beyond and as you can imagine, multiple jammed/dislocated fingers throughout my career. Fast forward to just 2 months ago and just starting to play guitar. I find my finger movements are...uh...strained. I have been doing a variety of other finger stretches and playing, well, attempting, the spider drill, which all have helped quite a bit actually. But, like you pointed out, my 3rd and 4th fingers are not cooperating as I'd like. They're like teenagers, they will NOT do as I tell them. My brain says "3rd finger, go to the high E string 3rd fret." It says "NO! I'm gonna follow my siblings, 1st and 2nd fingers up to the low E and A strings. Screw you!" Sheesh....teenagers! All joking aside, I am looking forward to adding this exercise to my daily practice schedule and I am very hopeful it will allow me to better move my fingers from C --> G --> D7 --> Em, etc. THANKS!

[@LaurenBateman]

Definitely add this in. I played bball for many years so I know all about the jammed fingers. Take it slow but use this as a warmup and it should help a lot.

Keep up the great work and thank you. That's a great exercise and you are right - this is one you don't want to overdue. I have one small request -> Father and Daughter by Paul Simon. I can't figure out that riff at the beginning of the song. It's definitely a scale but it's not obvious to me. Thanks (oh and it's a great song too)

I love your videos and your style of teaching. I've Loved music my whole life I picked up a guitar here and there messed around a little bit but nothing major I really couldn't learn it I kept putting it down so I wouldn't learn it. I finally picked it up again I'm 45 years old and I'm learning and your videos are so informational and you're so helpful and the way you explain and teach it it's so awesome. I'm very musically inclined and have a great ear for music and recognizing notes and I can sit down on the piano I can play with my right hand. But I can never get to my left hand to play. Like I said I just started with the guitar again I started by watching your videos already I've gotten the lead to Tennessee whiskey going well. And I'm learning those first five Chords right now that you taught. I hope to get even better in the future by watching your videos and continue doing what I'm doing and using your cool exercises like this one here. That is one of my problems is being quick through the chord changes and I can see the logic behind this idea and how it actually can help.

Idk if im doing it right. Muscle in my wrist moves when moving my pinky. Wrist moves a tiny bit overall but not like what’s shown in the video. It also hurts but not a lot. Is the wrist supposed to not move at all or is it okay to move slightly as long as youre not depending on it to reach the strings?

Wrist would eventually move 😂 But what's to do is that let your fingers feel comfortable with the stretches , don't force ...

This is awesome. I have something I can practice during movie nights or game nights that doesn't annoy every one around me.
