Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any picking excercises they would like to share. Doesnt have to be a song, but structure would be nice. Just looking for something to hone my finger control. Something that works the ring finger would be nice. I guess if you have a tab of it you could post it here or email it to me. Thanks. |

Youtube has tons of great vids so search there. I also recommend Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar by Troy Stetina and Shred Guitar by Paul Hanson. I have tons and tons of guitar books and those 2 stand way way way above the rest. I really need to get Troy's new sequel to speed mechanics but thats more about music theory and applying it to the fretboard I think. |

Im just looking at getting better control and accuracy. The only finger that is lacking is my ring finger. Since I started(maybe 2 years ago) I always put my pinky where my ring finger should go, and that finger got behind on control. I dont really play any actual songs, save for a few, I just make up my own things. Which is pretty challenging, but success is sweeter. |

I remember when I had dial-up, those dark distant days... errr anyway, one thing that i always do is 3 note per string patterns that arent scales but just fingers 1 3 4. Just basically triplets with those three fingers on 1 string or moving around. The frets would match up which each finger so for example in Am it would be 5 7 8 on the low E string. |

If you want an exercise for using all fingers, I'd suggest playing simple scales (especially minor scales if you want your ring finger strengthened). |

"Take atheism, for example. Not a religion? Their pseudo-dogmatic will to convert others to their system of beliefs is eerily reminiscent of the very behavior they criticize in the religious."
Thanks for the suggestions. Ive been playing off and on for several years, sold my electric stuff and played an acoustic for a year or so, but I got another electric and boy do I miss my amp. Also had a processor with some killer effects. Playing guitar is a great stress reliever for me at the end of the day. |
