GMC Forum _ Kristofer Dahl _ Unmotivated Little Fingers

Posted by: hoppe Sep 24 2007, 03:24 PM

Hi Kris!

As far as I know, many beginning guitarists have this problem with their lefthand´s littlefinger, which doesn´t behave as controllated as the other fingers (same, but less intensive, for the ringfinger)...

Do you have any ideas for a training of the littlefinger´s behaviour or should I - as it doesn´t do, what I want it to, anyway - cut it?

Greets,
Burkhard

Any exercise which invloves the pinky will do.

Also - if it feels very unnatural when practicing - then you know you are on the right track. Be sure to go very slowly and gently in the beginning! smile.gif

It it feels UNNATURAL, I am on the right track?
Sound strange... But it´s you who is the pro, so I will believe you ;-)
