now besides that point, take your first finger and place it on a G on the low E string. then your second finger on a C# on the A string, and then place your 3rd finger on the G on the D string, and finally your pinky on the C on the G string. if you look at that "chord" it looks like your fingers are going down diagnally, facing downwards. get used to the fingering of this chord (although rather simple) and commit it to memory. Then, reverse the entire chord so that your pinky is on the A on the E string...and your first finger should be more towards the floor. do this on different strings, while keeping a metronome going (start slow) pretty soon you have "smart fingers"

the whole process of this is keeping your muscle memory fresh, while updating it. But you have to commit to this process and practice it or else it will be useless.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Guitargeek 9 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150856 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150850 Tue, 10 Jan 2006 22:39:38 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Raina https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150850 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150845 Tue, 10 Jan 2006 22:18:47 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion AudioBoy https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150845 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150679 Tue, 10 Jan 2006 07:35:37 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion aroundtheclaxon https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150679 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150549 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 23:34:01 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150549 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/finger-position/#post-150530 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 22:50:46 +0000
Before starting to play the solo, take a look at the individual notes you need to play. Try to put your fingers in position in such a way that you will cover most of the notes without moving your hand. A lot of solos are derived from known chord shapes which makes it easier to play fluently since your hand will not be moving all over the place. In other words, you might be able to find a finger position for each measure if you take the time to plan ahead and practice the solo that way.
