[alecazam3567]

[MrBURFDAY]

Is it weird that I can do trills better with my pinky then my pointer?

[PunKarmus]

Dexterious. :P

[dere60]

this is why guitars are fun it requires learning and perseverance most fun i have ever had

[GrahamMac]

"Arsenal of destruction". Nice.

[AdamSethMaylek]

1:20 - 1:30 billy mays.

[TTanner22]

i swear every video this guy does there is someone who always comments "Dirk nowitzki plays guitar?" but seriously dude you look just like dirk

[kornsuffering99]

we really gonna make it burn xD

[Jeraddude]

spreader of the knowledge of the guitaris oblidouris. thank thee.

[MrHrchak11]

I really liked this lesson, nice exercies :D thx dude... ur awesome ! :D

[rionce]

Dirk Nowitzki Can play a guitar....

[NERV361]

This is a good lesson...but wont it create a problem when u want to play scales that u dont use all fingers for? for example using 1,3,4 fingering...it will come natural to use all the fingers all the time since that is what u would have been playing all along...idk it just seems it would cause problems when trying to play 3 note per string scales.

[kefinus]

well i started practicing this wich going up and down on the neck but my problem is i think its hard to time with it, mostly if i try it with my four fingers i directly dont use my ringfinger like my ringfinger dont want to play the fret :P, do i need to practice this alot more or is it something that wont go away?

[plastic191919]

@kefinus Your doing it too fast. And try using a metronome.

[zafoulis]

The awkward moment when u hit the space button to stop the video and practise and instead you go to the bottom of the page.

[jermainerio18]

Dirk Nowitzki

[SkullKingPro]

that muscle in your hand right under the pinky, to the right of it, is the muscle that needs to burn, and make it burn so much you can barely move it

[ENZOCONSTANTINE]

thank you

[scorppwr92]

anyone else have a crooked, retarded pinky?

[Trickdogg7]

@scorppwr92 Haha I'm with ya there bud. Check out my cross dressin blues vid, all done with the crooked, retarded pinky. Working on it though.. It's a deep burn! = )

[Sophiaaa898]

@scorppwr92 yuup -_- mine is spasticated

[BFMVMattTuckJr]

Lol, he said "Yours isn't going to sound that good at first." Mine sounded exactly like his... I've been playing for 5 years! >:}

[bkindglassworks]

@BFMVMattTuckJr GOLD STAR!

[licksnkicks]

This is awesome! Thanks! My teachers that I had never even taught me any of this. Bunch of no brains taking my hard earned cash.

[lsolanocr]

Great tips indeed. This only video will keep anyone busy for weeks until mastered. Hand killer exercises. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[luisdelariva]

Thank you.

[stevenatuh]

you rock man, thanks for the tips.

[manan258]

GIVE ME YOUR HANDS!!!

and if possible all the guitar stuff too :P

[fac4fac]

I'm sorry, but I'm really skeptical that trilling so fast is good for building strength, especially if some beginner who has uncoordinated fingers were to try this. In my eyes, it would make them develop sloppy tehcnique and possibly even agrivate the muscles, especially if they are naive and don't stretch before playing. Am I wrong?

[neblackburn]

21 ppl couldnt handle hammer burn, great vid

[caseyMAJORproduction]

GOD! this is depressing..ur too good..u make it look like ur playing piano..i do it and it just stops.

[berherbi]

Been doing this work out for 2 weeks now and my playing has come on so much I'm surprised by my own progress. My pinky is so strong now, almost as strong as the rest of my fingers all that is 2 weeks. Thx man for this amazing work out I love it.

[DarrenOakley]

I've never had a problem with my pinky, my ring finger is my weakest one.

[SharmanLtd]

@DarrenOakley mine too! my ring finger is stupid as fock! it just follows whatever my 1st finger does all the time :|

[DarrenOakley]

@SharmanLtd yes!! exact same problem I have lol!

[MRTTVD]

@DarrenOakley thats strange, my ring finger is my strongest

[JJalapenoss4l]

[batutasci]

[12345yellowman]

if you want finger streangth surch up finger exersising or how to finger tut if i were you learn how to finger tut it can also teach how to have finger strength and make you look cool now you can dance and play the guitar

[SenseiAshley87]

ok im a complete noob at guitar playing. when you trill your fingers, do you only pluck the string one time and then each time your finger presses down it makes the other noises or are you plucking the string each time. Bc I can at most get the string to make two noises before it mutes, is this because my guitar isnt hooked up to an amp or do i just not know what im doing or what? plz help someone

[turkadz]

@SenseiAshley87 just really try and hammer your fingers down. ive been playin for 3 months and im doin ok. just keep trying it slowly and hard and youll be great

[guitarb3ast7x]

@SenseiAshley87 He isn't picking, it's probably because you don't have you amp plugged in..try it with your amp..it takes a while for your hammer ons to get perfect...I've been playing for 10 years and I would say I still need some work at it.

[motley0crue12]

@SenseiAshley87 You're not doing anything wrong, and you dont need to be plugged in... Its called Hammer ons, because you need to really hammer your finger on the strings to get a sound, dont just tap your finger down, hit it hard. Also, when you're pulling off the string, dont just lift your finger.. thats what a lot of people do, you actually need to pull the string down a little, and you'll get a much louder sound.

[koo11414]

Great this is what I've been looking for! THKS so much I need it alot :P

[Rockyroopam]

[delta1inc]

[TheBrokenSynapse]

[joefullmetalguitar]

TNKS 4 LESSON , VERY USEFULL!

rock'on

joe from italy

[MwKVortex]

just curious, why don't I have strong fingers even though I type a lot, and play video games. Also are thre any techniques that help people with smaller hands?

[Disburden]

these guys make the best teaching vids on youtube. everyone else shows you next to nothing and then attaches a link to their site where you need to spend money. this is free and very effective!

[mezoleo4u]

one question..while trying the exercise which u pick one and hammer on with every finger...i figured that i can leave the other finger off the fretboard after taping so i have only 2 at a time...wouldn t that be better for making finger more independed????

[mustangTNT]

Your teaching style is AWESOME...I'm on my 5th week of lessons from a good friend who is teaching me music theory, scales, techniques, etc...It seems my biggest problem is strength in my fingers (I'm a girl :) My friend gave me a few tips but I can tell your exercises will be EXTREMELY helpful in building up my ARSENAL! Espec that durn pinky finger! Also just ordered my first electric guitar which will help get more sound out of my hammerons, pulloffs and trills...THANKS A BUNCH!

[BlueFlame1013]

do you push down on string more with the tips of your fingers or the flat part of your fingers?

[Rockster1997]

@BlueFlame1013 use ur finger tips!!!!!!!!!

[joeywarnick]

i did the hammer on thing when i got bored and now i find out its and\ actual exercise. . sweetness!!!

[RasclartPictures]

Mr. Motivator of guitar playing, and finger fitness!

[virgoptrex]
