This is a very important lesson-I've realized my fingers are really 'flying' as you call it, and that's a lot of wasted movement. Thanks.

[Jambo363636]

Yes, Intermediate lessons :D

Anyone got any advice? I just can't seem to stop my little finger from lifting when I'm pushing down with the others, or when I'm moving strings, and when I go slow they won't stay still! Is it just a case of keep going and try not to throw your guitar at a wall, or is there any tricks that help?

[CrazySnake1066]

How much do I suck! This never even occurred to me.

Donation to the website forthcoming :)

how is that helping in high speed? i mean controlling your fingers at 1 note per 50 bpm is one thing, but is it going to help at 4 notes per 120bpm?

[alone66666]

when i`m going 5-4-2 or 5-3-2 my pinkie is raising like 2 cm from the finger board : D wtf?

@deathmetallica2nd stop smoking :)

[deathmetallica2nd]

can any1 tel a good solution?

[OmnipotentO]

fuck my ring finger in the face!!!

[horatio118]

Wow the improvement is actually quite marked even in 5 minutes. Definitely going to keep this in my excercise routine for a long time to come.

@IsaacIsMopped My pinky is my only problem too

[MrRandomdude91]

Only one problem with this lesson though: IT MAKES YOU WANT TO CHOP YOUR BLOODY FINGERS OFF!
