Four Fret Arpeggio Exercise

So this is the second exercise I find very useful...a bit harder but worth it. The trick about this exercise and any other exercise is not to try and see how fast you can play it, but rather how well you do so. In other words, make sure that the notes you play sound perfect, make sure your fingers are where they are supposed to be and do not lift your fingers from the notes you have played!!

So here it is:

Starting on low E: first finger, first fret, second finger, second fret but on A string, third finger, third fret but on D string, fourth finger, fourth fret but played on the G string. Once all four fingers are on the fret board, it will look something like this:








When you are done you can then do the same thing but in reverse: Fourth finger, fourth fret on the G string. Third finger, third fret on the D string etc etc.

Both finger exercises I have covered should be done for atleast 10min before you start playing guitar. It might not seem like it helps but it does. Soon enough I will start covering timing and picking techniques/tips that you can add to your exercises.

Before you know it you will be shredding like a master


Happy rocking!!
