    Nice vid u got there, hey listen got a question, im not a begginer more like an intermediate but there is this thing that bothers me and i dont know if it is a disorder or something but whenever i play guitar n use my pinky (I use it alot) it bends in a sideway sort of way and i dont see other guitarist ever doing it. its like an arching problem where other fingers arch and this one does not. any ideas of how this can be solved???

    Having wanted to learn guitar for years, Hubs put one under the holiday fir this year! I’ve been teaching myself chords in the A and D families, but feel so sluggish and yucko! I googled “guitar exercises for beginner guitar players” and your’s was first I picked. THANK YOU!!!! You’ve given me hope, especially noting the 2-week time period for tendons to adjust. Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!!

    True, the feel is important, brand name or model is going to vary heavily from person to person. Having small hands is only a handicap if you focus on it that way. Go to a music store try out several guitars and you will get an idea of what works best for your hands.

  • Get a guitar that fits your hands well. I’ve known 6 year olds with hands the same size as mine…for electrics, try a Fender Mustang or a Dean Vendetta (both are full size with very slim necks).

    Awesome video dude,I am a drummer by trade but have always wanted to try the guitar.Bought a decent Samick and here we are.I love that you stress to keep your
    first finger on the fretboard doing the exercise,not only as an anchor but also as tool to strengthen the rest of your hand.I’ve had the issue of trying to seperate my middle and ring fingers and this exercise helped right away.Anchor that first finger and its easy.Think I can play like Joe Bonamassa in about a week?Thank Bro

    You can start out with just down picking to focus on the fretting hand, once it gets easier, then move on to alternate picking.

  • TheWhoDatWhoady 11 years ago

    Do you recommend alternate strumming with the right hand while doing this drill, or not really?
