YGS Dexterity Exercises 3: eBook2 - The Next Step - Beginner Acoustic Guitar Lesson

...this hurts.

[kennyenki]

Hi, I've been learning guitar now for maybe 6 weeks and this exercise has done nothing but discourage me :( I simply cannot get my ring and middle finger to separate enough for the higher frets. Even when I force them open with my other hand, moving my middle finger up drags my ring finger along with it. Maybe I just don't have what it takes *cry*

[yourguitarsage]

@kennyenki You DO have what it takes!!! How long have you practiced this and showed no improvement? This is a very complex exercise, so don't judge your playing on one exercise. It's about music.

[kennyenki]

@yourguitarsage I have to admit, after 2 weeks of 15 minutes a day I have shown a small improvement up to the fith fret. Past that I still cant make the reach. Ive been watching your videos since day one of my guitar journey and will continue to do so. In sage we trust <3

@kennyenki Its been a while since you posted this, but I hope you didnt give up that easily/

The pain!!!

[dbrown251]

WOW, that is a killer exercise! It feels like I'm stretching the joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, all that stuff in my hand to the point that I'm ripping all that stuff right out of my skin!

this is really helpful ! Thanks!

[AnneLovesYou7]

Thanks a lot for this, started trying it yesterday and got till the 5th fret only, now I can reach the 4th yay :D Guess what I'll be doing this weekend? FIRST FRET HERE I COME ;)

(I'm way too ambitious, I'm seriously going to spend my weekend doing this)

[ChrisBranleh]

i can't do this ):

[Dinyu01]

if your beard wasn't a bit grey, I'd think that you're in your early 30s. haha

I'm more of an bass player, so this exercise is even better for me :) my guitar-playing got much better since I watch your videos. thanks :)

[parmezans]

This be hard...

[SupaTROopa2]

Fuck yeah, I got long fingers!

"It'll stretch your hand out really nicely", Sounds like something you say to someone before you rip their fingers by pulling them.

[Bruelockable]

Wait, I just noticed Sage has some massive scars on his right arm. Darn, what happened?

[yourguitarsage]

@Bruelockable That's an old Vietnam napalm injury...he's ok now... :-P

[SamuelRust]

@yourguitarsage removed tatoo of an old girlfriend my guess
