I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS

@quarticom If you listen to Justin play the scale at the 1:25 point, I find it imposible to keep count up to 12 for each note he plays. You can pull up (or at least I can) an online metronome, put it on 208 bpm, which is the highest setting & keep count. I believe having the proper string setup is extremely helpful. I recently had mine lowered to the point where all you can fit between the 6th string & 12th fret is a quarter.I have to recind my claim of doing 152 bpm, as I cannot do w/o mistakes

@clockwork90897 that has been exactly my problem 2 lol, but i havent played much lately, but i think i'll try this method by UtzChips2009 can be something, just concentrating and dont doing it fast. I think though another exercice in addition could help:) What's funny is that some exercises i've learnt is the complete opposite, moving the fingers as much as possible while ur playing exercise scales. Maybe its best to do both types of exercises? I dont know.... maybe some1 else can help:)

@quarticom This exercise gave my guitar playing a total rebirth! I'm 57 & had your problem 8 months ago. I followed Justin's advice and can now do the scale at 152bpms without any problem. After 3 weeks, I couldn't do 90 bpms and my pinky was still flying all over. I believe it's the slow exercise that is the key, concentrating on keeping those fingers close. Just 5 minutes a day & after 3 weeks I kinda gave up & just went to doing it on occassion & just recently timed myself again & was shocked

I'm so good I never thought I would suffer such a big technical error. I'm having much trouble preventing my fingers from "flying."

[clockwork90897]

ive been playing for several years and have all of my other fingers down but my pinky is stubborn and just doesnt seem to want to cooperate with me it appears i have trained it improperly any advive

[beatnik8tv]

argh can't do this :(

[badaski82]

I like how when you was playing the scale slowly, you slowed your voice down to match lol Awsome! btw love the endings on your vids lol

[TeoDogueri]

thank you! all your videos are very helpful.

You know how the professional guitarists can always play a ridiculously difficult song, but they always make it look so damn easy? That is because they're relaxed and making the smallest movements possible like in this video. Another awesome video. Thanks Justin.
