Guitar Lesson #4 - The Finger Exercise

This finger exercise is what I will usually tell my students who are new to the guitar to always practise. This exercise is important because it works your fingers on the left hand and it helps to familiarise your finger movement around the fretboard.

As you can see from the video, this exercise involves all fingers (except the thumb). Start by plucking the low E string on the 1st fret using your index finger, then pluck the low E string 2nd fret using your middle finger, so on and so forth, then moving on to the A string and eventually the rest. The video explains it all. Practise well!
