What's up guys!!
In this opportunity I bring you some fingering exercises that are a little more complicated than the ones I showed you before. As everyone already knows, or for the most part, fingering is a fundamental piece to learn to play any instrument. It allows us to know the positions of the fingers and hands that should be adopted to play a musical instrument, know how to read the scores. The assignment of the fingers to each string had already been illustrated in the previous tutorials.
Here I leave again the assignment of each finger of both hands:
- Mano Izquierda: Left Hand
- Mano derecha: Right Hand
Before I start I share a stretching exercise since the fingering deserves that we stretch our fingers enough. It is about using the mast/fingerboard. Here I attached a video tutorial:
Exercise #1
E|-------------------5--------------------------------5----6----8--
B|--5----6----8--------8----6-----5----6-----8-------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise #2
This exercise is almost equal to # 1, except that here we jump from fret 5 to 7 on the B string.
E|-------------------5--------------------------------5----7----8--
B|--5----7----8--------8-----7----5----7-----8-------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise #3
This is also almost the same as the previous ones, except that we jump from fret 5 to 7 and then to 9, making a longer interval.
E|--------------------5----------------------------------5-----7-----9--
B|--5-----7-----9--------9-----7-----5-----7-----9-------------------
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise #4
In this exercise we do almost the same as in exercise number 1, only that it will be the opposite. That is to say, we start at fret 8 of the string mi and end at fret 5 of the B string .
E|--8-----6-----5-------5-----6-----8-----6----5--------------------
B|-------------------8---------------------------------8-----6-----5--
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise #5
In this exercise, it is the opposite of exercise #2
E|--8-----7-----5-------5-----7-----8-----7----5--------------------
B|-------------------8---------------------------------8-----7-----5--
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exercise #6
This last exercise is the opposite of exercise #3
E|--9----7----5--------5----7----9----7-----5-----------------------------
B|------------------9--------------------------------9----7----5-------------
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember that the greater your dedication, the quicker you will see the results. So start at a slow speed, the higher your domain you will be able to acquire a higher speed until you have all the exercises dominated. No more to add, until the next post Steemians!
Thank's for watching!
Nice job! You could also integrate right hand fingering (p,i,m,a) in alternating patterns to help with finger style technique. Ex... i m i a m i m....etc. thanks for sharing.
You're right. Thank's for your comment!
Muy buen trabajo @ceparl, ejercicios muy pertinentes para el trabajo de la motricidad de la mano izquierda; da mucho gusto ver un colega enseñando ejercicios para el aprendizaje de un instrumento!
Gracias por tu apreciación hermano!
