[@tombaron2321]

I have recovered from three strokes that impacted my left hand coordination. I have used these exercises and they really work. While I have not fully reclaimed past skills, these none the less have moved me forward more than any other simple routine

[@raman1992able]

I am self taught guitarist who plays blues, rock, metal etc. I wanted to get into classical guitar and I am finding your videos very useful. I am correcting all the bad habits for right hand and left hand. Awesome videos . I love your channel. Great work

[@calebsurpass]

This is absolute gold. thank you for time and dedication to this practice. Your videos have changed my playing greatly :)

[@zachariahforrest3339]

[@jameszou16]

The best teaching guitar video on internet.

[@daveknow]

I started doing this a few years ago, drawing from "Pumping Nylon", which I also recommend. I often do this while watching TV. It really helped me develop some left hand (fretting) independence. IOW, this is great advice.

[@Guitarschoolat]

Thanks for this workout! The "Snakebite" made me laugh aloud ... 1:54

[@sydneyleigh3108]

My brain is fried and my fingers are in knots. I LOVE this. I love guitar shed videos. Allen is so lovely and engaging. Thank you. 😄

[@patrickpalmer3374]

I'm running this again I didn't write it in my notes. I can't believe how these practice suggestions actually produce noticeable results if applied and I do apply out of dear hA ha of missing something priceless and these are to me and become more relevant as time passes.

[@growlandroll]

Was looking for exercises in classical music to improve my technique in guitar and bass and found your channel, these exercises are really difficult for me but I like the results so far!! Thank you for releasing this lesson, I'll be checking your other videos too

[@danganh6010]

Wow! Amazing sharings! Thank you so much!

[@FilmFlam]

Very helpful lesson. Thanks for sharing.

[@PickinNgrinin]

Useful for every fretted instrument

[@zu0832]

great exercises thanks

[@richardburchfield904]

Wow, some of those pairs are very hard!

[@Rozzylous]

They are 😄

[@patrickkozak9490]

We also have a side to side, slides and bends all within the left hand , as long as you allow the rest of your body to bend and flex around the guitar

[@gemaf]

This is a great exercise. You may find a similar workout in Pumping Nylon. Thank you for taking the time to do this video

[@kimherrero]

During years I've played lots of weird chromatic scales just to practice, but this video makes real sense. Thank you.

[@crystalgaynor4729]

This is fun! My 2 & 3 went into an automatic marching motion! 😅

[@uhoh007]

I'm in, thank you!

[@Annie-zs2bt]

Thank you so much , this is very helpful for beginners !

[@geoff3725]

That will be so very beneficial.Thank you for the video. The demo was so crystal clear.

[@johnpiettro4644]

There is a similar if not exactly the same exercises suggested in Scott Tennant's 'Pumping Nylon'. Well, there are no secretes in playing the guitar, the fretboard gives us a wide range of motions to explore in various combinations of fingers.

[@anvil965]

Great exercise.

[@lheeeo]

Thanks a lot! thats precious!

[@patrickpalmer3374]

That was priceless thank you

[@steveb9325]

Pumping Nylon....nice! Thank you!!!

[@Rozzylous]

❤️ thank you!!!!

[@DedilhandoAulasDeViolao]

Thank you for share! Very well explained.

[@ammiellopez6764]

Good lesson, and well explained. Thanks

[@ariekoren4256]

Thank you so much, this is a great lesson

[@living_strong]

Nice quality videos sir

[@uttamsinghparmar2783]

Thank u sir. 🙂

[@LarryShone]

Moving 1 and 3 independent of 2 and 4 is like a tongue twister for the fingers. Kind of like patting your head with one hand while rubbing your belly with the other. Very hard

[@Sttonkeoj]

Would these be beneficial away from the guitar as well say on a desktop while at work?

[@glennlubomirskynovitch3254]

How many times do we have to repeat each exercise? Until the cramp?

[@SureshKaria]

My fingers got tangled now

[@michaelenns8872]

Not everything is gold that comes from well known and respected guitarists/musicians ... just like this exercise.

[@kremifa]

Thanks for sharing. Would it also be helpfull to ad accelando and deaccelerando and versa?

[@PifchoBG]

what do when i move one finger and ALL my other fingers move as well. what do

[@musiciswin2481]

Do it really, really slow with max concentration, with time you'll be able to do it, there's no other solution I can think of, just be patient

[@ahmadward1015]

My anxiety sky rocketed while doing these exercises

[@eugenechek7288]

I did not understand, you only need to touch the strings? Clamp frets do not need?

[@ClassicalGuitarShed]

Hi Evgen, You can do it both ways. At first I would just touch the strings, so you can train with less tension. Then, when you're comfortable with that, add in the pressure. Good luck!

[@eugenechek7288]

Thanks for the answer. Beautiful lessons.

[@lawcch]

why can we tune lower the string from 440 Hz to 420Hz? It also good for left hand and good for tremolo

[@CC-yq5bw]

This looks relatively similar to Spider exercises.

[@tasmedic]

Why is this exercise not done in the first position, so you're sure your left fingers can stretch far enough up the fretboard for all those horribly tough pieces? Practicing at the 5th position I would have though just leads your left fingers into a false sense of security.

[@tcoudi]

this just hurts my brain. i know it will get better but it feels so bad.

[@MethenySco]

All of these movements can be found for example in any Prelude or Fugue by Bach. Isolate a measure, practice it with this intention, and at the same time play real music and learn a piece. Bach will reveal your technical weaknesses better than anything. That's not to say that these exercises wouldn't work, but frankly it's boring.

[@worthingtonproductions2579]

Kyle Smith it’s only boring with perception, if you practice anything with knowing your growing in skill towards your skill goal it should never be boring and if it is you gotta go deeper in thought about said philosophy’s. That being said your still 100% right about Bach. He should be the technical prowess to move towards with any musician with any instrument.

[@jondesoo8055]

It feels quite awkward, probably a good signal.
