Hello Gab, I have a little question regarding fingers :-) With AP exercices like 5-7-8, 12-14-15, a lot if not most of the guitarists I see simply does not use their pinky. Best example for me would be Gary Moore. And this does not seem to be a problem for lightning fast playing. So, most of the time, I play with fingers 1-3-4 such patterns, but sometimes I wonder if 1-2-3 would not be more efficient. What do you think of this ? Tnx JL ps: I've started your intensive technical training :-) Good question! I use both depending on the part of the fretboard and also depending on the frets that I'm going to play in the following string. There is not one rule for this, as you can notice, different shredders can use one or the other way successfully. From my point of view, using fingers 1, 2 & 3 should be more efficient since you have and extra finger and this fingers are usually more agile. However I have trained my fingers through the years and I can play in both ways effectively. So, the short answer would be, it's up to you and to what you find more comfortable. -------------------- My lessons

Then I think I will stick to fingers 1-2-3 for a couple of weeks. I can clearly play faster, with a more defined tone with that configuration. Drawback is the higher tension in the index. These days I'm listening a lot to Neil Schon. It's incred but 10 days ago, that guy was just one amongts the guitarists that I haven't been listening at. Today, with that piece, he's one of the most important ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpRV-GK1zb8 The part that begings at 2'45 is one of the most beautifull ever heard by me. |
