   Hi, my name is Danilo Capezzuto and this is my first lesson on GMC. What is better than a few exercizes of indipendence for fingers to start teach on this site?

I know, those exercises don't rock but give them a try, and they will help you to improve and learn with more confidence any kind of techniques you need to play. And more, your fingers will increase stamina and become more strong.

Just play them for ten minutes each day, not more because you'll probably get bored and your hands get tired. Feeling a little warm into your hands is good, feeling pain - NO!! Stop when your hands or fingers starts to become tired, DON'T HURT YOURSELF.

See you next time looking forward to the second lesson about "Fingers independence".
Thanks to everybody.

d.

Welcome to GMC Danilo - thanks for the exercise, I remember doing this one a long time ago! biggrin.gif

I would like to add something for our beginners who are practicing this: While you are at it, think about using alternate picking (up, down, up, down with the pick - no exception). I believe it is important to work this into you muscle memory in the beginning while playing slowly!

Thanks.
Yeah Kris you are right about the picking (up-down) but I prefer focusing the mind on the left hand...don't worry, some tricky right hand exercises will come...wink.gif

Great lesson for beginners. I think it should be practiced with both all down picking and also alternate picking to improve in both areas smile.gif

Great job, I do a variation of this every time I play as a warm up exercise, it's great for finger control and strength! This kind of lesson was just what I was talking about in my post a week or so ago about GMC needing more beginner lessons. This is great for beginners and beyond.

Wow, I can't belive I didn't see this lesson untill now. Definetly really useful, and not only for the absolute beginner, han control is something I think everybody can improve on, even super fast shredders.

just a question
practice each of the lessons for 10 minutes each or all of them together for 10 minutes?

Just practice 1 lesson per day, ten minutes are enough for me, play as much as you want, but don't hurt yourself! Bye bye

dude this helps so much. I am learning to play panama by van halen and before this exercise i had a tough time to switch between the fast chords. This exercise helped build my pinky accuracy...thank you Danilo!

This lesson is HARD! My left-hand coordination is obviously less than great. My brain goes tilt like 3-4 times every descent/ascent on the board. And that's only moving one finger at a time. My biggest problem is the ring- and pinkyfinger. They seem to have a life of their own, or actually a life together since I many times manage to move them both instead of separately. REALLY HARD, I tell you. biggrin.gif

So glad to hear you sigma7, keep on practice!

Don't hurt yourself Johnny!! I know, ring and pinky are married...but with good exercises and constancy you'll make them divorced... smile.gif
