I watched this about three weeks ago and did great with my 1st and 2nd fingers, fair with my 4th and figured my 3rd finger was never going to work any better than what it did which was pathetic at best. I did every step as you described in the video, even assisting my 3rd finger from the 3rd to the 6th and 1st strings for a couple of days. After the first week all my fingers were working much better with the 3rd still a bit slower and today all four fingers are moving great independently of each other. This will be a part of my warmup and stretching exercises for as long as I'm around to play. Thank you, Lauren!

So important! If this works, you're a hero. I'm eager to get back into guitar myself, and I know one of the most frustrating things for me was the lack of flexibility in the fingers and was disappointing when trying to play chords with uncomfortable shapes. So crucial to really have the basics down and free up your "toolbox/resources" first. A capable and resourceful guitarist is a confident and less frustrated guitarist (as I'd say it).

This is a fantastic tip Lauren. While I have developed great independence with my fingers in many styles, I now find after seeing the sheet music to Paganini's Caprices only recently I am considering how to apply personal practice techniques to attempt to learn some of those passages.

Quick Update. I start to see a little bit of a difference in my pinky, which was stiff and not really able to move around freely or even stretch up to the 1st string. My ringfinger, to my own surprise, was doing alright from the get-go. It feels easier to change chords now (which I also still practice a lot). For now, this exercise does make a difference! I can also recommend doing the spider exercise and it's vast amount of variations, but the best I can recommend, is to play scales, for a musical approach. Choose a key and practice e.g. pentatonic, Blues and major scales in an alternating way. It's fun!

Well... as i think about it, you better don´t practise in public^^ Lower the middle finger and raise the ring finger. Lower the ring finger and raise your middle finger. Do this for 20s. This shoud be enough. So 1 and 4 are always on the palm. You Raise 2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3... I call it cycling. After a few days you might notice that your fingers become more independent.

Watched your video this morning, and then tried the exercise right after. I never realized the lack of control or independent movement on my ring finger. Hopefully this will help gain more control.

Tiffany, I hope it works for you and starts loosening up that hand.

I didnt start learning guitar to help cope with anxiety, I just want to make music. But relaxation and releasing tension is something I really struggle with. I think guitar will really help me with this. It gives me a positive motivation to relax and takes the focus off of my inner issues. Thank you for the lesson!

I realized I barred my first finger unconsciously when I tried the others. When I did my third finger, I couldn't keep my second finger pressing the string and I really needed to focus just to do the third finger movement at all. I have a TON of practice switching chords. I have confidence with fast chord changes, but couldn't do this exercise. Thank you for all the tips. I get my spider practice trying to improve playing the solos in the songs I love. Santeria from Sublime has my favorite and fastest spider movements in its solo.

Jeramie, I learned this after playing guitar for many years and I have issues. Amazing the things you don't know until you learn them.

This is a cool exercise. I haven’t seen this one before. Great advice about tension too. I’ve spent at least half and maybe two thirds of the last 48 years strangling my guitar neck. A lighter touch makes for quicker hands.

@@LaurenBateman It’s absolutely helpful. I’ll definitely be doing it every day as part of my practice. On day one I had to move my rind finger with my picking hand to get the motion right but today I had some muscle memory locked in and could do it unassisted. I’ve been playing lead guitar long enough that the tendon thing doesn’t affect my fingers but to tell my ring finger to make movements it’s not used to making was pretty humbling. Thanks again.
