Finger Exercises
These finger exercises are designed to build coordination between your right and left hand. Proper picking and fingering hand
coordination is vital to good controlled guitar playing.
Directions: Play each finger pattern on each string. Start on the first string, then the second, third, etc... Although a little difficult
at first, these exercises quickly build the motor skill control needed to play the guitar effectively. Practice with an even,
steady rhythm. The goal is control, not speed.
The C and G7 Chords
The first two chords to be learned are the C and G7. Form and play each chord. The numbers tell you which fingers to use.
The C chord uses only 5 strings, so be careful not to play the sixth string. The G7 uses all six strings.
