Play the 12th fret with your pinky, 11th-ring, 10th-middle, and 9th on your index finger, then shift positions to play the 8th on your pinky, and continue the pattern to the top of the fretboard (7th-R, 6th-M, 5th-I...), and back down (I=1st, M=2nd, R=3rd, P=4th, I=5th...) to the 12th then move up a string and repeat (for all 6 strings).

Do it with alternate picking, and use a metronome or drum machine to keep your time even.

I find the position jumps going up the neck give my pinky a pretty good workout.]]> Guitar Players Discussion kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-exercises/#post-196738 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-exercises/#post-196734 Sat, 02 Sep 2006 07:56:34 +0000
I have been really focusing on getting my pinky finger stronger, more accurate, and more active. Anyone know any good exercises the focus on the pinky?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nexion https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-exercises/#post-196734 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-exercises/#post-196616 Fri, 01 Sep 2006 19:29:39 +0000

On the first string: 02132432 03243543 04354654, etc. all the way up the neck and back down. Then do it on all six strings. USE A METRONOME!!!]]> Guitar Players Discussion ColoradoFenderBender https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-exercises/#post-196616 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-exercises/#post-196570 Fri, 01 Sep 2006 14:24:57 +0000

Does anyone have any exercises that build finger strength, speed, accuracy, flexibility, and control that they would like to share?

Thanks!]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nexion https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-exercises/#post-20099
