  • Hi GMC and welcome to my lesson on pinky exercise !

    -I have always found that my pinkie is weaker than my other fingers !
    -I'm really annoyed with my pinky finger because it's REALLY slow and glitchy !

    These are statements that I hear very often from young guitarists,   
    beginners and even those of advanced players!

    Many beginners choose to use other fingers in situations that call for the pinky to be used. So let's try with some exercise to pump up your little finger and get it in shape!

    This is not a simple exercise for your pinky!
    In this song I've included more elements- melody with triplet arpeggios, so pay atention
    on metrics and chord line, and to be a more interesting - use only your index and pinky fingers!

    This mini song is played on a B string only, so right hand is in action just to trigger the first note of the melody.

    It might not be the prettiest looking exercise but if you play them you will get better.
    It is a very useful stuff for building pinky strength. Use it often.

    Here it is :

    4/4,130bpm

    Chord progression-Em,B,Bm ,A,G6

    GP file,tabs and backing tracks are included, so let's start practicing :)
