Finger Independence Exercise WITH NO GUITAR

[chanthany1]

omg if i do this i can do finger karate OMG!

[TheMrBrendanMoore]

now I know what it feels like to be crippled in rehab

[da1on2]

I use to not be able to do this and I was barely able to lift my ring finger at all. Now I can do this fast no problem. And I was born with the most retarded fingers ever (took me a month to learn how to do the live long and prosper thing, to this day I can't bend my pinky by itself, and my fingers are way shorter than they should be in proportion to my hand)

Moral of the story is to not give up! If I can get it anyone can!

[DieingSpiderZZ]

I did this for 3 1/2 hrs FEEL THE BURN ppl....haha

[Sodom616]

omfg i cant do this!!!

[666ilikepie]

that is hard

[Cynicon]

Thing from Addams Family may be in love

[AlexanderTheGreat91]

@insideac

what music was that anyway?

[AlexanderTheGreat91]

Thought I was gonna get killed cause of the music.

but looks like it'll work

[RyanONeill86]

lol looks so easy till you try to do it :( haha

[wayneski1290]

wouldn't this increase our flying fingers? or would this increase finger independency and strength? flying gingers is a big problem sometimes.

[iMAKEfunOFyouXD]

@wayneski1290 I don't think that "gingers" can fly?? XD I think this is all for finger independance as the title says.

[lordofthedragonable]

god that was creepy

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

Lol I came from guitar hero to real instruments and I can already to this because of guitar hero.

[OwenM4842]

Looks like a spider a bit...

[bxinger]

10 years of piano sorta helps with fretting. not really not at all. but this exercise is easy.

[666Henthorn666]

my music teacher taught our class that for playing trumpet lol.

[ac23AQ]

SHIT! I WAS PRACTICING ON THE WRONG HAND FOR 15 MINS,!

[RS005862]

@ac23AQ I did the same damn thing....

[Cynicon]

@ac23AQ you may play piano now lol

[chanthany1]

@ac23AQ ctfu wow

[Jakebbrew]

because i cant do it... i know that its legit

[jbaby007]

alright here's my issue. i can do this exercise no problem right. but for some reason when i play an open Dm chord for example, my pink wants to be all up on my ring finger!!!! it drives me insane to the point where i want to break my pinky the other way so it will get off my ring finger. any tips???

[Mongo966]

@jbaby007 Yeah man. I'd say break your pinky the other way, that's what I had to do.

[surhit]

fuck my ring finger!!! its not working at all. From now on, i'll use my ring finger for foreplay.

[xixKasualtyxix]

I can do this rather easily

RIP Guitar Hero

[SammiLiciouss7]

This is so hard!!!!!!!! D:

[sonny221]

how long did it take you to have independent fingers like that? Does pinky hides below the neck sometimes when you play guitar?

[jonahhosea]

my hand cramped up but ima keep trying

[Smargiasso33]

will the background meditation music help me to do the exercise? lol just jokin thanks for posting man :)

[JIRIC8581]

my pinky sucks my ring fingers ass :\

[abdulah786]

this is way harder than it looks

[swanner]

Hi insideac, you seem to find those movements quite easy. What do you make of my video response (the Double Spider Challenge), in which we apply similar movements *on* the guitar?

[futbal333]

what the hell is wrong with my pinky/little finger??? :(

[TheBfutgreg]

Good for Spider Chords

[suinbaby77]

this is really tricky at first

[jackassfilms69]

Thumbs Up IF Your Gonna Do this While Your teacher is talking in class :D when your bored and 6 people are guitar teachers

[DH3adHunter]

my ring finger is possessed by a demon

and he doesnt let me lift the finger the way i want xD

[satchfan2010]

Andrew Wasson teaches this also. Great exercise.

[zuko25]

sometimes I just want to yell at my fingers then bite them off. But then I realize...it's a finger

[mrimsexy1]

my little finger never works for me....:(

[betsybradock]

I can do it faster! =D

[truebe19]

What cruel God would make my right hand better at this than my left hand?

[jit3k]

@truebe19 MUAHAHAHAA!!!!

[NightXemnas]

@truebe19 Try bass!? Luckily for me I'm a bassist and can do this better with my right hand.

[pbpb1287]

@truebe19 thats what she said! :D

[scott5Co77]

sooo much harder than it looks!! cheers though

[recneps96]

It takes me like 3 seconds just to figure out which finger is which!

[20GuitarZero07]

THATS THE BIGGEST SPIDER I'VE EVER SEEN :( :( :(

[lji09]

i cant lift two at a time.. xD

[urielx17]

thats the spider chord dave mustaine created

[IEnjoyElderAbuse]

music was PERFECT for that. lol.

[GuitarVids4u]

At first I was like whatever until I tried it!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[dwdwsk8123]

retarded

[sfh113]

every time i try to move my index and ring finger my fuckin pinky tries to move too

[neddomac]

tarantula

[ayinozendy]

WTF, I'm always problematic about my left finger Independence, now that I'm trying to this, I thought that I would be able to do it quickly with my right... but WTF, it's even worse!

Try it with your right fingers now!

[toxiconflict]

Zomg! I hear American Mcgee's Alice in the background. Yes?

[TwilightFanpire9]

Whoa this is hard. But I believe it will help with finger independence.

[Gin132456]

well guitar hero had some use. i can do this because of that xD

[sanman312]

I do this in class all the time, i can do it super quickly now

[Drizzydid]

Holy shit this is hard, i can barely do it, and even if i do my fingers barely come off the table much...how high off am i supposed to be doing this? How the hell am i supposed to be even doing THIS :P?

[ericsson980]

when im doing this my finger feels like baby who about to learn walking

[scispoetic]

Wow suprising this exercise is difficult lol...its uncomfortable doing anything with my left hand :-/

[scispoetic]

Wow suprising this exercise is difficult lol

[weeMAN1300]

fuck you ring finger.

[rudimentalist]

It's harder to do than it appears. I thought I was alone with this problem for years. The really frustrating part of this for me is that my pinky and ring finger on my fretting hand are more closely tied together than on my picking hand. I just discovered this fact tonight. I held my fretting hand flat in front of me, facing me, then attempted to move my pinky independently. I can't. The ring finger follows, especially at the first joint. I have far greater independence in my picking hand.

[DivaDarkie]

@rudimentalist It might be because -asuming your picking hand is your dominant one, as usual- you're accustomed to using your picking hand for everything, thus developing better flexibility and looseness. I guess the only way to fix that is by just practicing, with the fretting hand, the independence exercise and even some everyday activities. Ever since I started using my fretting hand for almost any kind of activity, it has become more and more agile.

[fernank017]

I think my fingers are retarded :/

[anrys]

@fernank017 mine too :(

[uwishuwerme14]

@fernank017 You and me both, bud. lol

[wmc128]

The ring finger is usually your weakest finger, the pinky has more strength to it.

I just to push ups with my fingers arched up and spread apart,builds way more strength faster

[DellaMaylanBrett]

Hahaha it looks like a spider.... thats quite difficult!

[kyoshintama]

in need of "fixing" my ring finger =(

[ilokanohawaii]

try it with the right hand too.

and both left and right hand at the same time.

[TenshiKoigokoro]

omg this is so difficult!! It didn't look that hard but it really is T_T 

[keppa13]

My ring finger locks when i extend it so when i try to move/ fold it it gets stuck :/

Awesome exercise by the way :)

[CPBlazier]

An hour of practice, im getting used to this.. But i cant lift the ring finger too high and switch that fast.. Well, off to practice again

[Gymgirl101100]

simple!

[xORIGINx]

Haha it looks creepy, but a good exercise nonetheless

[Escapist3434]

What is the bg music? Its nice

[PanamaSabroso]

Look up Dave Mustaines Spider chord.

[luvudarren1]

pretty hard. but ima keep doin it

[joejoethepotato]

yea can someone tell me like if my ring finger will like loosen up or something...cuz its kinda hurts when i do this.

[GregIrwin2008]

Have you tried Finger Fitness exercises?

[collinsrodog]

ya this is surprisingly hard to do

[dli42395]

the descripstion is kind of confusing. arent the 3rd and middle finger the same thing?!?!

[matineesuxxx]

@dli42395 if youre counting from your pinky than it is the middle but if not than the third is the ring finger

[frankkalani]

ring is the third. when it somes to fretting the index is 1st middle 2nd and so forth.

[matineesuxxx]

@frankkalani thats what i was saying... i know how they are numbered, but thanks anyways.

[rainieloveyu]

it takes me like a second to switch @_@

[MrKiza13]

try not to laugh when watching this....

[dime6664ever]

grate exercise brutha this will help alot... thanks..

[SiriTheAwesome]

fuck this is actually  hardt to do

[MetalContentHigh]

Genius. What do I pay you? Double it!

[equality2721]

lol...as ludacris as it might seem it works...i'm learning how to play the guittar and finger streching is not my give(damn small fingers) ...lol ALL IN THE NAME OF GOOD GUITAR PLAYING!!

[HoNeLisHaddy]

FUUUUCK

i DON'T GET IT XD

[M4l731]

Ist das die Melodie des Wassertempels aus Zelda OOT im Hinergrund? :D

[Dimehead420]

spider riff

[Dimehead420]

This is perfect for the spier riff

[craigmcveagh]

do that on the guitar like 1234

and lift 24 then 13 and it might work out

[bap2best]

guess i'll be doing this on the subway every time now. i'll be the peculiar one moving my fingers strangely lol

[musicfreak44444]

also instead of taking sm amount of tym building finger strength and then taking the same amount of tym alligning the fingers on the guitar... why not jus build finger strength and align ur fingers on the guitar at the same tym to save half the tym...

[musicfreak44444]

this is a gd exercise... but don u c... his pinky's off... its not in line as it shud b on the frets... its an awesum exercise 4 finger strength but 2 apply it on the guitar wud take the same amount of tym tht u took to learn this... cuz alignin the fingers on the frets aren't easy while playin continuous solos... newayz nice exercise although u shud try smthin lyk... "keep ur ryt hand straight nd the try to tap the left hand fingers to the edge of the ryt hand acc to ur patterns..."

[yasahiro86]

I must use a pulley to raise my finger like this =))

[rocknevadie93]

i can do it. with more practice, i can be like him.

[OneLoneGuitarist]

also u could do this combination:

Index

Ring

Middle

Pinky

like solo alternating

[newrockstar9peace9ha]

Ha!!!! I Can´t Do It!!!! I Hate My Fingers

[lolwezzy]

dude

ofcourse u can't do it

that's why his doing it

SO U TRY 2 DO IT

UNTILL U DO IT ! :p

do this for 20 mints

and u willl get better

do it everyday then ur fingers will be more flexable

[DethTorque]

do you guys have problems with the ring finger? :|

[demertknight]

YEs it wont go high

[Nickiefive]

@demertknight i have the same problem

[CleverDjembe]

Yeah: it won't fit into my anus

[luvudarren1]

@DethTorque yep

[Fanntazy]

@DethTorque yes i do :'( sniff sniff and i want to learn how to play the guittar ... I'M DOOMED!!!

[azbestas123]

yes my ring finger is dead:)

[mspenelusuk]

@DethTorque arrghhg i nearly quit playing guitar because of you ring finger. no, i wil defeat you!

[Azenamga]

this is rlly hard O_o

but i'm practicing it everywhere i go lol

[iceymanjack]

looks kinda funny

[MrSpeedgtrst16]

my stupid ring finger wont go up!

[Cannabisvorous]

If I had to press a botton upwards with the top of ring finger I guess I would die.

[mas199483]

THAT　WAS　FREAKY：D

[RocknCorruptrepublic]

it's interesting how guitars work, I'm right-handed but my fingers on my left-hand seem more flexible in a way, this exercise hurts a lot more with my right hand, left isn't too bad. :)

[hflat1]

One could argue that it's interesting how dexterity works :P

[RocknCorruptrepublic]

ha that too

[chickenbuokbuok]

he cheated he used his other hand to bring it up

[nicolascott1987]

This, in combination with sweeping exercises and big stretch chords, makes for one fast, strong and accurate guitarist. Nice one. Thanks. :D

[da1on2]

I am amazed by the height he raises his ring finger

[ArrestedForSpeeding]

god my hand hurts....i can do it with my right hand but i dont play the frets with my right hand :P

[Sp00ner518]

the third finger is always the harddest!

[scottycanes]

I know man!! But it's because it's connected to the middle finger. . . damn evolution and adaptation!

[DeadlyDevil666]

I cant do it to save my life

[BlindsideUnion]

jesus tits! its fckin hard

[innhoster]

holy shit this is kinda hard! i thought it would be easy XD

[Kadadj]

Yay i can do it now:D

[Kadadj]

Im going to practise this 6 hours during school tomorrow, whats it good for anyways

[Corey897]

..........guitar playing.

[tenzvideos]

this is so frustrating i crashed my computer screen... Tech support's sayin they wont cover it... :-(

[DemoniacoCabron]

Eerie music in the background man but solid exercise, still can't do it clean but I'm working to getting there

[George51291]

what if u cant lift ur ring finger more than 1cm... haha serious though.

[100kotob]

That's some serious shit.

[daggerzone2]

[daggerzone2]

[FeatherClint]

[stephen0guitarfreak]

[CrippledShadow]

[yeti60]

Really difficult

[TheHusky9]

are you supposed to look at your hand while you do it?

[Socky42]

does this really help guitar playing?

[GottaWatchShit]

WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT!?

[jonnham]

dang...cant control my own crap!lol nice your fast

[Tang526]

my pinky won't obey!!

[GottaWatchShit]

Mine wont either. I really suck at this lol

[erikaguitarist16]

why do I find this so funny?

[g0tt0rque]

because you haven't seen all of the other videos showing very similar exercises?

have you tried it?

[erikaguitarist16]

nope not yet. It just looks so funny and weird like a fun way to creep out my friends.

[g0tt0rque]

yeah i hear that.

lol

[hlaakso]

When you learn it, it's also a nice way to creep out friends

[Basspelarn]

Reminds me of the hand from the adam's family!

[svidrigajlov]

this is so creepy

[SSE94]

haha alien :p

[voidstuff]

it was easy... but I couldn't do it at the final speed at first

[princesscake]

When I try this I can't even get my damn hand to move at all...FUCK!

[GuitarHeroWT]

lmmfgdaob

[vasco1983]

shit... me neither...

[dillinjaesc]

the same exercise would work if your hand were flat on the table.

[Envisaged]

Man this isn't easy lol.. I will be practising :D.

[Logster505]

I just take a marker, pencil or something like that and put it in between my fingers and then play.

[solydoro100]

si uno se masturba seguido, afectará la independencia en mis dedos?? quisiera saber para dejar de hacerlo :)

[usefulisuseless]
