Guitar Rote Exercises

In this exercise, we use the pointer finger and the pinky finger on the same string, to fret two different notes, that are 3 frets apart. Also known as 3 half-steps, or a step-and-a-half.

In this exercise, we use the pointer and ring finger, on the same string, to fret two different notes, a whole-step apart (or two half-steps) Once you master this exercise at the 12 and 14 fret, move your hand up a fret and master it at the 13 and 15 fret, and so on, until you have mastered this whole-step ear hand coordination training exercise on all frets and on all strings.

This exercise is like ‘walking’ or ‘marching’ in place with two fingers. As one finger comes down, the other finger comes up, back and forth, back and forth

In this exercise, we bend the string so that the note goes up in pitch TWO half steps, or ONE whole step. “Use your ears!” ~ Yngwie Malmsteen

This bending exercise is similar to the previous exercise, except now we focus on using our EARS to bend the note up to the pitch we want to hear. next video: Using Left Hand Pointer Finger To Bend String Up Two Half Steps, Or A Whole Step https://rumble.com/vd2yez-using-left-hand-pointer-finger-to-bend-string-up-two-half-steps-or-a-whole-.html

Racquetballs are cheap, and easy to find wherever sporting goods are sold. Get yourself a few different colored balls, for different hardness of balls, and increased difficulty of finger strength exercises These exercises are slightly different in that instead of using the finger tips, we keep the last finger joint straight and squeeze with the finger pads not finger tips. Squeeze the easiest ball with all 4 fingers, with each finger helping. Then squeeze the ball with every 3 finger combination possible Then squeeze the ball with every 2 finger combination possible Finally squeeze the ball with 1 finger at a time. Increasing your finger tip grip strength will help you fret notes on the guitar better. Once you can do all these exercises on the easiest ball, move up to the next hardest ball. Do these exercises like you would any gym exercise.

#OneHalfStepAtATime #HalfStep #SemiTone #GuitarExercises In this exercise, we use the elbow to move the hand and finger from a root note, down one half step, (or fret) and back up to the root note. Note how the finger goes just behind the fret on each note. Usually, we always want to aim “to fret a note” (verb) just behind a fret (noun), but as you progress you will be able to disregard the frets altogether and be able to find infinite colors/tones/sounds between each fret, but for now we want to focus on the part of the string just behind the fret, or the 12 half-steps (or semi-tones) per octave, as delineated by the frets. next video: Beginner Guitar, Slide Up And Down One Half Step https://rumble.com/vc0q6b-beginner-guitar-slide-up-and-down-one-half-step.html

Use hair tie or rubber band to strengthen your fingers for guitar playing. Put band below your first knuckle to avoid side-loading knuckle joints. Purpose of exercise is to get your fingers to comfortably stretch apart, and to have lateral strength and stability in your fingers for playing scales and chords.
