Finger strength exercises for guitar
Strengthen your fingers with these 3 Basic Exercises Beginner, (intermediate and advanced guitar lesson)
Whether you are a seasoned guitarist or a beginner starting from scratch, you always need to keep working with finger strength and build up dexterity with both left hand and right hand technique, especially left hand fingering. If you want to be proficient and execute lines with proficiency you need to exercise your fingers the same way an athlete or a marathon runner that works out to keep in shape. You work out to maintain or build muscle. The same goes for your left hand fingers, you need to practice and warm up with etudes and chromatic exercises that will do that for you. The newbie guitarist can definitely benefit from performing these studies and the intermediate and advanced player can use them to keep their technique and finger strength in check. It is important to try to play them every day or at least 5 days a week. You can take 2 days off and give your fingers a rest, but any more than that, can set you back to the beginning and you lose your speed that you built up with the metronome. Even if you neglect these exercises for a month because you don’t have time to practice or you need to work on other aspects of your guitar playing. It shouldn’t take you long to build up to where you once were. If you internalized and memorized the exercise studies all you have to worry about finger muscle memory. Not having to relearn the pattern allows you to get right back into it and they are fairly easy to memorize. Start with a slow warm up tempo then gradually work your way up to a faster tempo and stay there for a while until you can bring the exercise up to an even faster pace. Even if you haven’t practiced the exercise for a month you should be able to recall the correct passage of notes from memory. If you can’t do this, please try to commit it to memory, it will make life easier for you. This way you can concentrate on playing in time and at the correct tempo. If you are thinking about the notes or looking at sheet music you are giving your mind extra work. Not having to think about the notes will relieve the mind of any mental stresses and allow you to work and concentrate on the task at hand, (speed and technique).
