#329 - The Silent Hack Pro Guitarists Use to Play Faster
🕑 Added 2024-06-14 14:30:01 +0000 UTCMy friends, you voted for a full economy of motion practice routine - so I'm happy to present 5 exercises that will help you with getting the most out of your fingers! Combined, these workouts make for a perfect daily routine :)
Download the full practice package here (tabs, guitar pro files, backing tracks, play-along videos): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Xya_MjPmTQQ0vr3sevDm8DGqtDsgrs3W?usp=sharing
When you practice this, make sure to really focus on your fingers - how are they coming into contact with the fretboard? Are your movements minimized? In case you need any help or feedback, remember that I'm active myself in the VIP Facebook group for VIP and Platinum members. I coach students over there, so come join the fun :)
And as always, I also made a Dropbox folder for you in case Google Drive doesn't work: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/fmyk5hmdva76fud3jrxda/AJ94-Z-3PghUxUxvlhYHDiI?rlkey=bhw0x4df9jvazocy6bog69wx2&st=84yr6hln&dl=0

I really feel like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill trying to move the little toe haha!

I'm late to this one but very excited as finger control (like that blasted pinky) is something I really need to work on. Lots of unwanted string noise, overlapping notes, etc

Hey Bernth, can we get some more exercises to train our pinky? Exercise 1 is great but I feel like I need to have a few more exercises like this one to really train my pinky.

This is the guitar equivalent of "Susy sells seashells by the seashore" for your fingers and just what I've been working on lately! Thanks for this Bernth

WIth excercise #1 you can anchor your pinkie finger on the high e string to build your muscle memory with the pinkie down until you can get that little pinkie to cooperate. The flying pinkie is the real deal. Good luck.

The pinky finger was a pain to tame and most people don’t ever acknowledge that it slows you down while also causing unwanted string noise like you mentioned.
